BARRIERS IN HEALTHCARE
1. Healthcare administration issue
The current study focuses upon the different barriers or issues faced in the
administration of healthcare. There are a number of factors which hinders effective
administration practise in healthcare such as lack of effective decision making skills. The
dearth of evidence based decision making can deteriorate the quality of health and support
services. This is mainly due to the lack of leadership skills during emergency situations.
2. Effect of administration issues on the stakeholders
One of the major effects of the lack of leadership skills is unequal distribution of the
care and support services. In the lack of leadership the resources and services are not properly
distributed to the patient populations, which affect the quality of the healthcare services. The
lack of leadership often results in organizational disputes which could lead to poor services.
As commented by Betancourt, Green, Carrillo & Owusu Ananeh-Firempong (2016),
communication gaps between the different team members of the health provider group could
lead to provision of erroneous medication.
Most of the times, the administration barriers are faced due to disagreement with the
patient population on certain subjects. In this respect, implementation of practices of
informed decision making can help in overcoming the disputes.
3. Relevance of the healthcare administration problem related to business research
The healthcare administration problem here focuses upon lack of leadership skills.
The leadership skills are equally important from a business perspective. The lack of
leadership skill could be explained with the help of a laissez free model, where the employees
lack sufficient directive regarding their roles and responsibilities within the organization
