Centralization and decentralization are organizational philosophies about power distribution that pertain to a hierarchial level of decision making within the organization (Huber, 2014). Centralization is where decisions are made at the top level, and I believe OhioHealth is centralized. Decentralization is a structure in which decision making is spread out within the organization. On page 283 in the course text (Huber, 2014) there is a scenario in which a nurse manager conducts interviews for nurses and at the end hires the nurse she felt is the best for the unit. This scenario describes centralization and from experience, this is what happens at my …show more content…

Decentralization encourages and facilitates greater innovation, more input, and faster response times (Huber, 2014). One study determined the impact of organization structure, in particularly participation in decision making, communication, integration, and promotional opportunity on burnout among pediatric nurses. The findings in the study revealed that participation in decision making, communication, and promotional opportunity prevented burnout (Bilal & Ahmed, 2017). This means that the decentralization model can help prevent burnout as staff is given more say in the decision making. However, it is important to examine how decentralized an organization

Explain the difference between a centralized organization and a decentralized organization. A centralized organization generally relies on a single person or a very small, select group of people to make the decisions for the rest of the organization to follow. Pertaining to criminal justice, this would be a national police force under the federal government or, in the more extreme cases, under a single totalitarian leader. Examples of nations with a centralized police force are Israel, Denmark, Belgium, and Sweden, where centralization has seen some success (Berkley, 1970). Contrarily, examples of centralization could also be found in Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, and fascist Italy and Spain (Berkley, 1970).

Focus and commitment are key factors that were most significant in driving nurse leaders to a common vision and strategic priorities. From the beginning, nurse leaders were focused on the task at hand, which included the goal selection and strategies required to execute the vision. Due the size of the XYZ Health System, it was wise to form groups of nurse leaders to identify strategic goals (Roussel et al., 2016). Additionally, this provided an opportunity for nurse leaders from diverse hospitals to bring forth unique ideas and goals that others may not have thought of. Nurse leaders were aware of the accountability and commitment that was required of them at the beginning of the project to ensure its success.

Hospitals first started out as a place where various healthcare professional functions came together in order to care for and eventually cure patients. Consequently, as healthcare organizations grew bigger they adopted a vertical structure that was organized in departments and along the functions they supported. This, along with the further increasing specialization within the functions and the decentralization of care, that was planned with the intention of capturing economies of scales, resulted in a large number of small patient groups who were receiving care in small but highly specialized units that were in turn being supported by numerous supporting departments (Lathrop, Seufert, McDonald, & Martin, 1991). This structure resulted in a care delivery process that was fragmented and highly complex since the organization of care was not tailored to the patients needs but preformed according to the most relevant metical specialization or medical skills (Lee & Clarke, 1992).
