Ethical and Culturally Equitable ways of Keeping Costs under Control

Ethical and Culturally Equitable ways of Keeping Costs under Control

There are strategies followed and planned by the management to avoid the wastage of supplies and other assets to keep the costs under control. Firstly, the nurses and employees are encouraged to use office supplies with discretion. Moreover, the staff must take care that they follow all the new cost control policies and act ethically and morally all the time for the betterment of the organization. In addition to checking the costs, more efforts are being made to improve the benefits received (Moran et al., 2020).This initiative includes sending the automated health reminders to patients and helping them to refer to their nurses at Ecosave when they feel sick or untreated. This strategy of empathy and care will surely help the patients/clients to trust the hospital staff and rely on their caring policies like a family member. 

In addition to increasing patient’s safety and loyalty, nurses must also be educated to understand the factors that motivate customers to prefer Ecosave over other healthcare centers to meet their needs. This will help the staff to offer better customize care to everyone that comes to the medical center and leave with full satisfaction. Hence, this can happen when nurses and professionals are able to utilize resources equitably and help the management implement cost control policies effectively. For instance, some overhead costs are not directly associated with healthcare services and they are often significant compared to other minor costs. These overheads can be building maintenance costs, repairs of fixed assets, insurance, and basic utilities costs (Czarism et al., 2020). Hence, a great idea is to control and check the amount spent on building repairs each year and avoid unnecessary repairs. Moreover, handling the medical equipment with care also helps to keep it in a good condition. Finally, the utilities costs can be controlled by keeping the electricity, gas, water, and telephone usage down; this strategy also includes reducing internet costs by using low-cost plans.
