HEALTHCARE AND STAKEHOLDERS
Answer:
The requirements or needs of the staffs, patients, the healthcare organizations and
community form the basis of the functioning of the Saudi Central Board for Accreditation of
Healthcare Institutions or CBAHI. The CBAHI is the official and apex authority for accrediting
public and public healthcare systems in Saudi Arabia. It strives to achieve betterment in the
healthcare systems in Saudi Arabia to benefit the patients and the society at large (Greenfield et
al, 2015). Apparently the healthcare organizations, both private and public are dependent on the
body. The reality is that the requirements of these stakeholders too have significant impacts on
the operations of the body and its very sustenance (portal.cbahi.gov.sa, 2018). The following are
the ways which these stakeholders and their requirements affect CBAHI and its operations:
Staffs:
The requirements of the staffs are legitimate compensations, professional developmental
opportunities and safe and healthy work environment. These requirements of the employees, one
of the most significant internal stakeholders find expression in the values of the body which
stresses on team spirit and integrity among the staff while delivering performances. For example,
the staffs execute the strategies the apex management forms, thus forming the base of
organizational excellence. Saudi Central Board for Accreditation of Healthcare Institutions seeks
to improve and retain its staffs to maintain its organizational excellence by offering them
compensations and professional growth. This shows that requirements of staffs have deep impact
on the operations of CBAHI (Arena et al., 2015).
