(WHO/EIP/health systems/2005.1).

6. “What conditions are necessary for good
leadership and management at the
operational level"?.......Framework
1. ensuring an adequate number of
managers at all levels of the health system
2. ensuring managers have appropriate
competences
3. creating better critical management support
systems
4. creating an enabling working environment

7. Strengthening management capacity needs a strategic approach
as represented in the framework below:

8. Health systems management
objectives
• To ensures that specific outcomes are
attained, that departments within a health
facility are running smoothly, that the right
people are in the right jobs, that people know
what is expected of them, that resources are
used efficiently and that all departments are
working towards a common goal.

9. Managers are an essential component of the health
workforce
• YES, if you work in a setting with limited
resources
YES, if you make decisions on how best to use
staff,
budgets, drugs and other resources
YES, if you are responsible for making things
happen
YES, if you are in a role to support managers
or to
Good management is essential for quality service delivery and
achieving desired health outcomes.

10. • Management quote:
• “Solve the problem rather than being alarmist
without action”

11. Concepts, guidance and tools ...
... to help you make best use of resources or solve
problems to do with:
• Working with staff
• Budgeting and monitoring expenditure
• Collecting and using information
• Obtaining and managing drugs and equipment
• Maintaining equipment, vehicles and buildings
• Interacting with the community and other
partners
• … and more…

12. Building leadership and management capacity at
the operational level requires:
• A balanced approach covering these four
inter-related dimensions:
• Number and distribution of managers
• Managers' competencies
• Management support systems
• Working environment
• Strengthening one without the others is not
likely to achieve the desired outcomes.

13. • The district health system
• Needs assessment and situation analysis
• Planning and budgeting of services
• Organization and implementation of health
services
• Scaling up
• Assessment of management performance
• Monitoring and evaluation of service delivery

15. Management
Management as “the purposeful and effective use of resources –
manpower, materials and finances for fulfilling a pre – determined
objective
i. Planning: determining what is to be done.
ii. Organizing: setting up the framework or apparatus and making it
possible for groups to do the work.
iii. Communication: motivating people to do the work.
iv. Monitoring(controlling): checking to make sure the work is
progressing satisfactorily.

16. Components of Management
•
(1) Organizational activity—
• Management is a group activity. Management is to coordinate the actions
and reactions of individuals.
(2) Goal formation—
• Management has some definite goals before it to ach-eve. Goals are set
considering the actions and reactions of individuals.
(3) Goal accomplishment and evaluation—
• Management also evaluates the effectiveness of goal accomplishment.
(4) Organizational Survival—
• In the short run, managers use the resources available to them as
efficiently as possible and practice the art of implementing their decisions.
(5) Implementation—
• Action is the creed of management. Policies and programmes are
implemented by management.

17. Methods based on behavioral sciences
1. Organizational design
2. Personnel management
3. Communication
4. Information systems
Quantitative methods
1. Cost – benefit analysis: the benefits are expressed in monetary
terms to determine whether a given programme is economically
sound, and to select the best out of several alternate programmes.
2. Cost – effective analysis: that benefit instead of being expressed in
monetary terms is expressed in terms of results achieved, eg.
Number of lives saved or the number of days free from disease.

18. 3. Cost – accounting: cost – accunting has three important purposes in
health services a. cost control b. planning and allocation of people and
financial resources c. pricing of cast reimbursement.
4. Input – output analysis: “input” refers to all health service activities
which consume resources (manpower, money, materials and time);
and “output” refers to such useful outcomes as cases treated, lives
saved or inoculations performed.
5. Model
6. Systems analysis
7. Network analysis: the two common types of network technique are
a. Pert and b. CPM
a. Pert (programme evaluation and review technique)
b. Critical Pathe Method (CPM)
8. Planning – programming

20. Health Planning
Health planning is necessary for the economic utilization of
–material,
– man – power and
–financial resources.
The purpose of health planning is to improve the health services.

21. National Health Planning has been defined as
the orderly process of defining community health
problems,
identifying unmet needs and surveying the resources
to meet them,
establishing priority goals that are realistic and
feasible and
projecting administrative action to accomplish the
purpose of the proposed programme.

22. Health needs and demands
Health needs have been defined as “ deficiencies in health that call
for preventive, curative, control or eradication measures”
A goal is usually described in terms of
1. What is to be attained
2. The extent to which it is to be attained
3. The population or section of the environment involved
4. The geographic area in which the proposed programme will
operate
5. The length of time required for attaining the goal
