The word "hospital" comes from the Latin "hospes" which refers to either a visitor or the host who receives the visitor. From "hospes" came the Latin "hospitalia", an apartment for strangers or guests, and the Medieval Latin "hospitale" and the Old French "hospital." It crossed the Channel in the 14th century and in England began a shift in the 15th century to mean a home for the elderly or infirm or a home for the down-and-out.i
Hospital is an institution or the organization for the treatment, care, and cures of the sick and
wounded, for the study of disease, and for the training of physicians (teaching hospitals), nurses,
and allied health care personnel.ii

Health Care is Evolving
The way we once delivered health care services, is much different than the way we do today. Where we once focused on individual patients and treating illness, today we focus on groups of patients and promoting wellness. Because of the environment in which we operate today, we strive to provide high quality services to patients in the most appropriate way that we can. Many procedures and treatments that once required an overnight stay are now done on an outpatient basis. Patient care is provided using health care teams and an integrated approach. Patients themselves are becoming more and more active in their own health care.
A variety of forces are impacting our health care delivery system and have caused this paradigm shift. Some of these include:
Forces
· Pay for performance based systems
· Technological advances
· Aging population and associated increase in chronic illness
· Diversifying population
· Supply and demand of heath professionals
· Social morbidity
· Advances in information technology and information sharing
· Globalization
In today's health care system we have a variety of organizations that provide care to patients. This includes providers, supplier organizations, and payers. No matter what type of health care organization we are talking about, the same basic processes must be accomplished by each of them.
Basic Organizational Processes
A health care organization must provide a product or service. Acquiring and maintaining physical and human infrastructure such as office space, laboratory equipment, and employees is necessary to operate and produce the product or service. To do this most effectively, the organization must consider its relationship to the environment in which it operates.
Every organization also needs management and governance. Management plans, organizes, directs, and controls, while governance oversees management and the organization as a whole. Governance helps to provide the strategic direction for the organization and holds it accountable for patient outcomes, treatment effectiveness, patient satisfaction, cost containment, and ethical and appropriate use of resources.
An organization must also be able to adapt to changing conditions both internal and external to it. This function is critical to organization success in today's rapidly changing health care environment.
Processes
· Production
· Boundary spanning
· Maintenance
· Adaptation
· Management
· Governance
Areas of Managerial Activity
The position of a health services manager encompasses many different activities. These activities can be looked at using either a micro approach or a macro approach. The micro approach looks at the individuals within an organization and issues such as motivation, leadership, groups and teams, .

Healthcare Administration: The Managers
Healthcare in the U.S. is complex and dynamic and so are healthcare organizations. For this reason, organizations need managers to provide superior leadership. According to Buchbinder and Shanks (2017), “in health care organizations, the scope and complexity of tasks carried out in provision of services are so great that individual staff operating on their own could not get the job done” (pg. 3). Managers and leaders are necessary to ensure organizational tasks are executed to achieve organizational goals (Buchbinder & Shanks, 2017).
Healthcare managers in any organization are in a position of authority. It is through this position that healthcare managers can shape the organization by making important decisions. Decisions made by healthcare managers not only focus on ensuring that the patient receives the most appropriate, timely, and high-quality services possible, but also address achievement of performance targets that are desired by the manager (Buchbinder & Shanks, 2017). To no surprise, decisions made by an individual manager impact the organization’s overall performance. When making decisions, according to Buchbinder & Shanks (2017), managers must consider two domains, external and internal:
· External Domain
· Are influences, resources, and activities that exist outside the boundary of the organization but that significantly affect the organization.
· These factors include community needs, population characteristics, and reimbursement from commercial insurers, as well as government plans, such as the Children’s Health Insurance Plans (CHIP), Medicare, and Medicaid.
· Internal Domain:
· Areas of focus that managers need to address on a daily basis, such as ensuring the appropriate number and types of staff, financial performance, and quality of care.
· These internal areas reflec ...

(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.
Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.
A brief information about the SCOP protein database used in bioinformatics.
The Structural Classification of Proteins (SCOP) database is a comprehensive and authoritative resource for the structural and evolutionary relationships of proteins. It provides a detailed and curated classification of protein structures, grouping them into families, superfamilies, and folds based on their structural and sequence similarities.
Multi-source connectivity as the driver of solar wind variability in the heli...Sérgio Sacani
The ambient solar wind that flls the heliosphere originates from multiple
sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described
as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal
holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are
under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter mission is to identify
solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the
heliosphere. By combining magnetic feld modelling and spectroscopic
techniques with high-resolution observations and measurements, we show
that the solar wind variability detected in situ by Solar Orbiter in March
2022 is driven by spatio-temporal changes in the magnetic connectivity to
multiple sources in the solar atmosphere. The magnetic feld footpoints
connected to the spacecraft moved from the boundaries of a coronal hole
to one active region (12961) and then across to another region (12957). This
is refected in the in situ measurements, which show the transition from fast
to highly Alfvénic then to slow solar wind that is disrupted by the arrival of
a coronal mass ejection. Our results describe solar wind variability at 0.5 au
but are applicable to near-Earth observatories.

12. What is Management?
Management:
The planning, organizing, leading and controlling of human
and other resources to achieve organizational goals
efficiently and effectively.
14. Introduction to Health Care system
• Hospital organization
Hospitals are the central part of one of nation's largest industries,
the health care industry, offering abroad range of services
increasing expensive personnel, equipment and technology.
As the citizens are the central of the city the patients are the
central of the hospital.
14
15. Mission Statement or Charter
Is the driving and guiding force that outlines the organization's
reason for existence and defines what should be done and how.
It is summarizes the hospital intent to provide services in terms of
the intended recipients of service, the type of care or services and
level of quality and cost expected.
16. What are the organizational chart of hospital:
It is the chart demonstrates how employees carry out the
function within the institution in organized and logical
manner.
16
17. The board of director or governing board which
authorized by law to operate a hospital, the board
employs a chief executive officer (CEO) or president and
defines how the operation is maintained and conduct.
Who is organization interact with the medical staff to
ensure coordination and quality of patient care services.
17
18. 1. The medical staff is physicians, dentists, podiatrists and other
individuals licensed by the state, who are permitted by law and
who have been authorized by the governing body to provide
patient care services within the facility.
2. The radiology or medical imaging department plays an
important role in the patient care.
3. The quality of care provided to the patient by radiology is
directly related to the quality of coordination and cooperation
that exists between all department.
18
19. 4. Human resources (HR) department Is responsible for the
recruitment, retention and compensation of all employees
who work in the hospital.
5. Business officer handle the finance function of the hospital
example. Including billing, insurance, paying equipment
and supplies, and maintaining strict accounting practices.

20. Organizational Transition in the 1990s
In early 1990s have caused vast changes in healthcare
organization, there are two factors forcing to reorganization
structures :
• Economic hardships
• Total quality management.
20
21. Organizational Structure
An organizational structure is a system that outlines how
certain activities are directed in order to achieve the
goals of an organization.
Types of organizational structures:
1. Vertical
2. Horizontal
28. Matrix Organization
A matrix organization is a company structure where
teams report to multiple leaders. The matrix design
keeps open communication between teams and can help
companies create more innovative products and services.
29. The matrix structure picture in fig below has been useful
in some hospital, as well as other industries, attempting
to mange strategically the products and service that cross
department boundaries.
29
31. Radiology Organization
• Similar to the organization of hospital.
• The formal structure radiology department is subset of
large organization.
• The has the same focus on hospital mission to service
patient.
31
32. Administrative Director
• Administrative Director or "administrator" means the person
designated by the governing body of an agency who is
responsible for the management and administration of the
agency.
• A director of administration oversees the organizational
aspects of a business or organization, giving them authority
over the organization's administration managers, who are
responsible for the administrative functions within individual
departments.
33. Administrative Director of Radiology
• Radiology administrators plan, direct, and coordinate
administrative activities for imaging departments in a variety
of settings, including hospitals, medical centers, imaging
centers, and multi-specialty physician offices or clinics
34. Administrative Director of Radiology
• The organization of the rad. dep. begins with (ADR)
• He is reporting to the senior hospital admin.
• He has direct responsibility for operation and organization ,
which include; staffing, planning, educating, supervising,
coordinating, communicating, maintaining safety and
minimizing hazards in workplace.
34
35. Many changes facing the health care industry of the 1990s have
brought new specifically into the radiology new challenges and
skills and responsibilities, including the following:
– Managing limited resources
– Leading
– Coaching
– Managing and directing change
35
36. – Analyzing opportunities
– Developing market plans
– Analyzing administrative data
– Negotiating and managing contracts for purchase of equipment and
supplies and maintaining equipment.
