6. VALUE ANALYSIS
The main objective of hospital is to provide services & to achieve or support this objective hospital makes different secondary functions. The purpose of value analysis is basically to find out the ways through which some more values or comfort can be added at the same cost or provide the same value at lower cost. The following are the ways through which value or comfort is being added: 1) Providing facility of taking appointments by doctor on telephone. In old times patients used to come to the hospital, stand in line, take time from doctor & then have checkup. But now patients can take time at phone. This has increased the value or comfort for the patients in a way that now it is easier to handle patients, elimination of mismanagement as the rush of patients is managed & the patients are more satisfied. This lowers down the cost by reducing average waiting time (Admission & Preoperative) and average length of stay in the hospital. It helps in increasing the number of patients that can be served and improve patients satisfaction. 2) Contact with the medical raps. Mayo hospital has contact with the medical rap of such a company that provides quality medicines that ultimately bring comfort for the patients. 3) Provide ambulance service on time. Through this a patient in emergency is brought to hospital more quickly & then has necessary treatment. This reduces the hospital death rate and improves the level of comfort for the patients and their attendants in the hospital. 4) Hospital website is launched. Mayo hospital provides information on the internet by creating its website that ultimately leads to awareness in the patients or in people in a way that they come to know about the hospital, doctors, staff, departments, facilities completely & easily. And they can also have contact numbers from the site. 5) Computerization & networking of all the hospital records is introduced. It reduces the cost of handling data and errors and problems that arise because of manual working. 6) Hospital shift blood Bank from 1st floor to Ground floor. It gets easier for patients to approach it.
