Some of these responsibilities include hiring and training staff, making staff schedules, and conducting staff meetings. Other responsibilities include maintaining the facility, implementing policies and even overseeing billing. Developing and employing marketing campaigns can also fall into the lap of a clinic administrator. Depending on the clinic, the range of responsibilities will differ, but one thing is for sure – a clinic administrator is tasked with important undertakings.

2.Nursing Home Administrator – A nursing home administrator is expected to oversee clinical and administrative affairs of the nursing home, as well as related facilities.

Optimization in Staffing

Oscar is a healthcare administration leader who oversees the management of an ambulatory care clinic. Over the past 2 months, patient inflows have dramatically increased due to a recent shutdown of a neighboring care clinic. The patient inflows require that 90% of all nursing staff work overtime to ensure effective healthcare delivery. However, having 90% of the nursing workforce work overtime could be problematic in terms of patient quality and safety. Oscar would like to determine how he can best optimize his current staff holdings to ensure a balance between quality patient care and safety.

For this Discussion, review the resources, and be sure to focus on the Bastian et al. (2015) article. Reflect on the optimization problem mentioned in the article.

By Day 3
Post a brief summary of the optimization problem presented in the Bastian et al. (2015) article in the resources for this week. Be sure to include an explanation of the objective function, as well as what the constraints actually mean. Then, explain what was done well in the article, and identify where you found shortcomings in the article. Be specific, and provide examples.
