Abstract:

This manual is designed to help you to manage the Facility Improvement Fund successfully in your health centre. Experience in the health centres has shown that implementation of the policies and procedures described in the manual will improve the collection and use of funds, and enhance patient and staff satisfaction with services. This list shows the key actions that the officer in charge must take to achieve success. They are described under the sections in which they appear. Section 1: Policy Staff support: Make sure that all health, administrative and support staff are aware of policies through meetings and circulars. Section 2: Managing for Success Performance targets: Use your service statistics and fee levels to set targets so that you know how much you should be collecting and waiving. Set priorities: See which departments have the greatest revenue potential and focus on improving performance in such departments. (excerpt)
