good and comprehensive
The lecture by RO Joson on systems thinking in healthcare facilities has enable myself to see health care departments as a whole unit, understand the inter-dependencies of role of each stakeholders and departments, the importance of intergraton and collaboration among them to drive sustainable improvements in hospital management.
The OLETE framework is a well-rounded tool that addresses key aspects of healthcare management. Each component of OLETE covers critical factors that influence the operations and performance of healthcare facilities.
Systems thinking, approach and perspective is utmost important for any leader of an organization to facilitate collaboration, coordination, alignment and integration which is necessary in establishing the vision, mission, goals, projects and direction of the organization towards excellence
the lecture is a good and gives me a new dimension of thinking
thank you for the comprehensive lectures
Systems perspective/ systems thinking is absolutely necessary in any organization to ensure congruence of it’s services and function, directionality, and sustainability.

Feedback in OLETE (Online Learning cum Evaluation Test Exercise
Its comprehensive
Comprehensive, systematic and understandable to be implemented in any hospital setting.
This is similar to what we have back in our hospital, whenever we conducted a workshop/course/seminar, at the end of it, we will always ask the audience/participants to give feedback about the course and we will include a few Q&A regarding the topic just to make things more valuable. I hope this session will continue for the lectures to come. In some way, this OLETE has helped me to do a quick revision on the topic while my memory is still fresh with the topic. Thank you Dr!
Its a very long MCQ / TF that I lost track already. Thank you Dr Joson for you insightful lectures!
A very comprehensive take on how the hospital maintains its function to deliver quality health services thru interconnected systems and approaches. Thank you also Professor Joson for imparting your knowledge to us
Thank you so much

Great Knowledge to Learn. Good Information and Useful
IT IS GOOD TO LEARN THE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK AS A MANAGER IN ORDER TO EFEFCTIVELY HANDLING AND MANANGING OUR ORGANIZATIONAL. HOWEVER THE TASK IS QUITE CONFUSING AS QUITE DIFFICULT TO APPLY THE THEORY IN SHORT TERM.
Such a long quiz, Doc but thank you for taking time to prepare. It definitely reinforces the concepts.
I got 2 mistakes for my first try. I guess we should always strive for excellence in health care, hence the need for 100%. Again, further reinforcing another concept.
I feel that the lecture was very comprehensive and overwhelming to take in and understand in one sitting. I appreciate that we can redo this test until we get a perfect score thereby reinforcing our understanding of the concept of OLETE. I hope that we will be able to apply this in our work. Thank you Professor for your time.

Perception on accreditation: hospital may-opt not to be accredited during re-accreditation status as long as they maintain the quality standard and the steering committee for QMS is employed and SOPs of each department is implemented. Framework on management system can also be applied for the specialty accreditation on each department for the training institution/hospital but the re-accreditation status is needed for the training institution to operate its residency and fellowship program Thank you for the comprehensive discussion prof

ROJoson Patient-centered Care Management includes my actively following-up on patients on what happening after initial consultation with me and treatment by me.
I am concerned with at least the following: 1) whether the patient is recovering well from the initial consultation and treatment; 2) whether I need to do some adjustment in my diagnosis and treatment inclusive of medications; 3) what is the progress in the resolution of the health problem after seeing me; 4) whether the patient has other concerns; 5) whether the patient has seen a physician and lab clinic that I referred to and what are the outcomes; 6) whether the patient has problems looking for right physician and lab clinic to help me resolve the health problem at hand; and 7) to know what鈥檚 happening to the patient if she has not return for follow-up / check-up with me.
I do the follow-up either through telemedical consultation or through face-to-face medical consultation. I do the non-face-to-face medical consultation follow-up usually through Facebook messenger, Viber, or SMS (text).
In the follow-up, I also reinforce my advice to them and at times, I give them my writings for more in-depth understanding of my explanation during the face-to-face consultation.
Examples of documentary evidences of my follow-up on my patients after initial consultation and treatment:
After an operation, I do telemedical rounds and check patient鈥檚 wounds, wound drainage, level of pain, medications, etc. through video chat. Then, I act accordingly. I reinforce what I told the patients before and right after the operation.
If I don鈥檛 hear from my patients after the initial consultation and I know they should be doing something for their own health, I message them either through FB messenger, Viber, and SMS and ask 鈥淜umusta na?鈥
If I don鈥檛 hear from my patients after the initial consultation and I know they are being treated by other physicians either through my referrals or otherwise, I message them either through FB messenger, Viber, and SMS and ask 鈥淜umusta na?鈥
Asking a patient to send me through viber picture of her wound a few days after mastectomy for me to check.
Asking a patient who underwent mastectomy to send me her monitoring sheet of the tube drainage output
I vibered this patient who was undergoing radiotherapy in a private hospital in which I am not affiliated with and asked her: “kumusta na?” She started her radiotherapy a month ago.
I told the relatives that after their consultation with me, I will look for a colorectal surgeon in Cabanatuan City who could take care of their patient. I asked around and then I messaged them.
Asking a patient with lung cancer for an update on her treatment by another medical oncologist:
For the terminally-ill patient, I follow-up on the status and console the relatives.

Sample Certificates of Commitment and Accomplishment (15 got a perfect score in the OLETE 鈥 as of March 8, 2024)
Posted on by
Patient-centered care management is conventionally defined as the practice of caring for patients (and their relatives) in ways that are meaningful and valuable to the individual patient.
It conventionally includes listening to, informing and involving patients in their medical care, note, medical care, which includes medical diagnostics and medical treatment. It usually does not include ANCILLARY support to the medical care which is usually left to the patient and relatives to accomplish on their own.
In the past I have written the following related topics:
As I have said:
Patient-centered care management should not be confined to listening to, informing and involving patients in their medical care. It can and should go beyond this. If needed by a patient, a physician may and must (if within his capability) provide ancillary support.
Doing patient-centered care management is also doing compassionate patient management. My operational concept or definition of a compassionate physician is one who feels and shows sympathy and concern for patients especially those in need of one.
All physicians are expected to be compassionate to patients. The deeper the sympathy to patients, the stronger is the desire to alleviate. The stronger the desire to alleviate, the greater and heavier the assistance to give. Ultimately, it is the assessment of the magnitude and weight of assistance given that determines the degree of compassion.
Here I will add two more inclusions on the ancillary services / support in the patient-centered care management.
ASSISTING PATIENTS AND RELATIVES IN THEIR DOCUMENT REQUIREMENTS
From actual experience up to now, patients and relatives oftentimes, not to say always, complain of difficulty (including delay) in getting the necessary documents prior to discharge from hospital such as discharge summary, copies of lab results, etc. Also, they have difficulty in getting the needed documents after discharge for use in their insurances, SSS, and GSIS requirements such as medical abstracts, medical certificates, etc.
Patient-centered care management should take note of these common problems being faced by patients and relatives in getting their documents from the hospitals. These problems should be mitigated if not totally avoided. On a personal level, I am wary of these and have been trying to help. If need be, I call up the concerned staff to prepare the documents as quickly and as soon as possible.
FACILITATING ACCOUNT SETTLEMENT OF PATIENTS ON DISCHARGE FROM HOSPITALS
Again, from actual experiences up to now, patients and relatives oftentimes, not to say always, complain of difficulty (including delay) in settling their hospital bills. They have the money to pay but there is a long waiting time which can be caused by a lot of factors such as no discharge order from physicians yet; no posting of professional fees by private attending physicians yet; no discharge summary yet; etc.
Patient-centered care management should take note of these common problems being faced by patients and relatives in settling their hospital bills. These problems should be mitigated if not totally avoided. On a personal level, I am wary of these and have been trying to help. If need be, I call up the concerned staff to speed up the processing of hospital bills.
Certificate of Need is no longer required for establishment of government and private general hospitals.

Hospital Administration Matters
In my class on Systems Thinking for MHA HA 202 last March 6, 2023, I had a student who posted this question: (delighted to be asked this question)
Dear Professor Joson,
I am Geraldine XXXX, an MHA student in my first year, 2nd semester.
If I may indulge, I have a question in mind:
Am I correct to believe that Systems Thinking should be the foundational knowledge that every leader/manager must learn and fully understand? I think the framework you developed encapsulates everything there is about Leadership and Management.
My reply:
Geraldine,
As to your question 鈥
Am I correct to believe that Systems Thinking should be the foundational knowledge that every leader/manager must learn and fully understand? I think the framework you developed encapsulates everything there is about Leadership and Management.
YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD.
I have writings or blogs in 2021 or 2022 when I was about to help establish a new hospital in the south. I used the phrase or title 鈥淔oundational Frameworks and Practices in Hospital Management.鈥
Will share the links for you to read and you can share with your classmates.
[ROJ-OCIL-HQSMS] Foundational Frameworks and Practices in Hospital Management
/2021/06/25/roj-ocil-hqsms-foundational-frameworks-and-practices-in-hospital-management/
Here is the introduction on the writing:
It is said that hospitals are the most difficult organizations to manage administratively.
Hospital managers would ask me: Is there a way or a secret to make the administration of hospitals simpler or lighter? Or a more realistic question: Is there a more efficient way in hospital administration and one that will ensure performance excellence?
At the moment, as a starter, to coach hospital managers, I thought of three things that can make hospital administration more efficient. With my past experience (29 years 鈥 1989 to 2018) as hospital and quality manager, I have come to think, perceive, opine and recommend (TPOR) the use of three frameworks and practices as foundations in managing hospitals 鈥 foundations to establish at the start and then develop and eventually master and to use them all constantly and throughout the life course of the hospitals and which I think can contribute to efficiency in hospital administration 鈥 foundations once mastered will lead to performance excellence.
These three foundational frameworks and practices are systems-based practice; departmental design and development framework; and hospital quality and safe management system framework.

Its a comprehensive system thinking guidance questions. Very needful
I like the framework you developed. It encapsulates everything we need to know and to do. Thank you.
Professor Joson, Did you publish a book on Systems Thinking?
Dear Professor Joson,
Good morning.
I am Geraldine XXXX, an MHA student in my first year, 2nd semester. I want to apologize to you for I was not able to actively engage in the discussion on Systems Thinking in Hospitals with Focus on Departments, which you gave last March 6, 2023. We recently moved to a new home and our internet signal is not yet stable. It is also for this reason that I was only able to answer the OLETE yesterday.
Thank you for providing us with the recorded lecture. Professor Kathy ZZZZ gave us a background on Health Systems Thinking and Complexities under HPAd 201 last semester and you enlightened me further on this concept. If I may indulge, I have a few questions in mind as follows:
1. Am I correct to believe that Systems Thinking should be the foundational knowledge that every leader/manager must learn and fully understand? I think the framework you developed encapsulates everything there is about Leadership and Management.
2. Based on your experience, what are the effective strategies to deal with the elephant in the room?
For our individual assignment, I am interested in tackling the Equipment/Material Program. As an actively practicing pathologist and as Ancillary Services Director at the same time, I am involved in equipment/material acquisition and management. May I ask your approval if this is alright with you? Your opinion is highly regarded.
Again, my sincere apologies and gratitude for your understanding.
Respectfully yours,
Geraldine
My reply:
Geraldine,
Thank you for your email. I appreciate the communication which contained explanation why we were not able to interact in the zoom; your plan on your assignment; and of course, the questions which I most welcome and appreciate much.
As to your first question –
1. Am I correct to believe that Systems Thinking should be the foundational knowledge that every leader/manager must learn and fully understand? I think the framework you developed encapsulates everything there is about Leadership and Management.

At the moment, as a starter, to coach hospital managers, I thought of three things that can make hospital administration more efficient. With my past experience (29 years 鈥 1989 to 2018) as hospital and quality manager, I have come to think, perceive, opine and recommend (TPOR) the use of three frameworks and practices as foundations in managing hospitals 鈥 foundations to establish at the start and then develop and eventually master and to use them all constantly and throughout the life course of the hospitals and which I think can contribute to efficiency in hospital administration 鈥 foundations once mastered will lead to performance excellence.
These three foundational frameworks and practices are systems-based practice; departmental design and development framework; and hospital quality and safe management system framework.

As to the second question –
2. Based on your experience, what are the effective strategies to deal with the elephant in the room?
When you say “elephant in the room” – I suppose you mean there is a “problem” or ‘problems” whatever it is or they are, obviously present in the hospital or in the department, but it or they are being ignored or not subjected to scrutiny, problem-solving and solution. This situation is common particularly in government hospitals.
Your question is “what are the effective strategies” to deal with the elephant in the room?
First requirement is to have a competent leader and manager with a long-term vision for the excellent performance of the hospital and its departments and services.
Second and an ancillary requirement to the first requirement in the competency qualification is to have competencies in the following:
– systems thinking or perspectives in problem-solving and decision-making not only confined to the specific elephant in the room but all-encompassing of all current and potential problems and challenges in the hospital / departments.
– problem-solving skills inclusive of cause analysis and formulation of effective, efficient, just and compassionate solutions
– skills in people management particularly in using participatory management approach or style that promotes motivation, alignment, cooperation, collaboration and integration
– discipline and perseverance in continual improvement in all the management systems of the hospital / departments
– Innovation and creativity in problem-solving and decision-solution-making for all the elephants in the room and in promoting sustainable performance excellence for the hospital / departments
The nitty-gritty and details of the processes of the abovementioned strategies have to be spelled out and I am sorry I cannot provide them at this time.
I hope, Geraldine, I have answered your questions.
Again, thank you for your email.

Thank you, Dr. Joson, for the very comprehensive lecture.
I am part of the administrative staff that handles licenses and accreditation, am surprised with this new insight on other accreditations aside from the usual ISO. I do get the point of the setting the standards high, though there’s always this thought that once a hospital such accreditation, would they make sure to keep it up or until the next renewal accreditation na lang. Just my two cents po.
Thank you very much, Dr. Joson, fo the very informative lecture.
