A person with a bachelor’s degree but has more experience will save the organization significant sums of money, because a Masters Degree will generally demand a higher wage than a person with a Bachelor’s Degree. Home healthcare is one of the fastest-growing sectors in healthcare. “According to a report from CMS' National Health Statistics Group, health spending will remain relatively steady from 2007”(George 2007, p.1). Extreme salaries paid to Senior Vice Presidents of Operation will reduce the earnings of companies and slow organizational growth. “ The growth of organizations will be slowed because revenue will be used to pay the income of the organizations senior management”(Shih, M.D., Davis, 2008) . The duties of the senior VP can be combined and or delegated to other individuals that are with the organization to perform specific tasks, which are of a pay scale that does not constitute a waste of time, talent and capital of the organization.
Organizations today are moving to a less hierarchy in organizations today. Less administrative inefficiency where professionals administrate professionals (Werther, 2008). Computer technology has enabled the ability of executives to access decision-making data extremely efficiently these days, allowing time for more actual management. This compresses the organizational structure allowing more close relationships and strong teamwork to develop. Having too many top executives may lead to political games and departments fighting for funding. In 2002, the World Health Organization had six top executives with the same job costing the organization lots of money in overhead expenses. These large expenses left the organization asking for more donations and departments fighting over funding for different projects. (Yamey, 2002) Poor communication within an organization can lead to developing issues during the implementation process of any project. Organizations that have too many top executives can delay the decision making process due to lengthy debates about leadership. Another reason for the poor communication is due to management undermining the decisions that were made leading to confusion during implementation. (Nowicki and Summers, 2008)
In most organizations in any industry, administration positions can become overly crowded very quickly. When faced with an impending 15% drop in revenue, an organization would be swift in preparing for the necessary changes that must occur in preparation of cutting costs. Being that the company currently employs four assistant directors, eliminating one of these positions would save the organization much needed costs. The remaining three assistant directors will be more than able to fulfill their responsibilities. This is clearly an example of maximizing to minimize. The termination of two assistant directors will allow the organization to recoup the 15% reduction in revenue and benefit form the administrator’s salary.
“ As the population ages, the volume of home health care agency users will grow, requiring the need for agencies to employ even more direct care givers”( Flynn & Deatrick, 2003, pg. 6). The requirement for fewer managers to direct them will increase. “ Discontentment among home care staff nurses is believed to be a major contributor to the shortage of trained nurses”( Lee, Rock, 2005) . Merging some responsibilities of management to free up operating dollars will allow an organization to utilize its capital fully and increase patient satisfaction.
