PATIENTS' ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT

Until 31/12/2005 the Patients Administration Office had been handling all patients' admissions to the 26 Departments of our Hospital, i.e. was competent for the issue of admissions or discharges and for the financial settlement of the hospitalization cost, by monitoring and logging all medical actions to the hospitalization files of patients and by checking the insurance of patients, in order to charge the cost either to them or to their insurance fund.
The increased influx of patients at the Administration Office, which is located at the ground of the Hospital near the main entrance, caused the main waiting area to become overcrowded due to patients who were waiting to be admitted to the Departments. Since 1/1/2006 our Hospital has introduced an administrative innovation, which aims at the decentralization of the operations and responsibilities of the Administration Office, i.e. the distribution of these operations and responsibilities to separate smaller Administration Offices set in each Department of the Hospital. Based on this tasks-sharing model, the Administration Office has now become the heart of the decision-making, organization and coordination of all departments that fall under its competence and no longer operates as a patient service location. One of the basic responsibilities of the office is to give common instructions to all secretary offices of departments, solve common problems that arise in departments and train the administrative staff, aiming at the uniform administrative operation of all departments, with regard to the issues that fall under their competence.
As a coordinating center, the Administration Office ensures the proper operative function of the Emergency Department by organizing the on-call duties of the administrative staff. Another responsibility of the Administration Office is to provide secretarial services to departments that do not have a secretary or in case the secretary of a department is on paid leave or on sick leave. Moreover the Administrative Department undertakes the settlement of pending payments, that are not directly paid at the secretary's offices of departments, thus easing the administrative burden of departments and providing the best possible service to patients and attendants.
Finally the Administrative Department collects and processes statistics on the hospitalization of patients, laboratory tests and visits to the Outpatient Departments, the ER etc, which are located within the Health District: Macedonia, Ministries or other services.

SECRETARY'S OFFICES OF DEPARTMENTS

Secretary's offices are located at the nursing station of each department. Secretaries have increased duties, i.e. the secretary's office of the department does not only operate as a patient service center, but also as the organizational and coordination center of all operations of a department.

More specifically, the responsibilities of the secretary's office can be summarized into three (3) categories:

a) Undertakes the administrative part of the movement of patients and is in direct contact with patients for the preparation of admission and discharge documents, their health insurance coverage, the issue of certificates regarding hospitalization as well as the scheduling of re-examinations, if necessary. The secretary is the first employee of the department, with whom the patient comes in contact. Secretaries have a specialized knowledge of their work subject i.e. both hospital procedures and procedures and rules followed by insurance funds. Their goal is to simplify bureaucratic procedures, which will make the stay of patients in the hospital more comfortable
b) the medical file of the patient is updated by doctors. The secretary's office of the department ensures the completeness of medical files and their transfer to the medical record.

c) Finally, the secretary's office of the department ensures the aggregated recording of data concerning hospitalization (admissions and surgeries record keeping), is responsible for and writes down the OR schedule and makes sure that all surgeries and medical acts performed on patients are entered into the computerized system of the Hospital.

SECRETARY'S OFFICES OF DEPARTMENTS

The following departments have a secretary's office: Pathology Department, Anesthesiology Department and Dialysis Department.
Secretary's offices manage the diagnostic material that comes from laboratory tests, record findings and enter the laboratory results into the computerized system of the Hospital so that all medical staff can have immediate access to it. The secretary's office of the anesthesiology department records and files all details concerning anesthesia during an operation (including administered drugs). At the same time, they charge the anesthesia to the operation of a patient, which, as mentioned above, is logged in the department.
Finally, the secretary's office of the Dialysis Department manages both appointments and medical actions of patients who are subjected to dialysis or peritoneal dialysis.
This management is carried out
a) through the issue of referrals to departments that conduct examinations and
b) through the electronic logging of medical actions or examinations so that their cost can be calculated by the Health expenditures office and later be paid by insurance funds.

HEALTH EXPENDITURES OFFICE

The Health Expenditures Office receives on a monthly basis the documentation of all medical actions and examinations both of patients admitted in the hospital and of patients that were simply examined by appointment at the Outpatient Practices or were subjected to a medical action. The Health Expenditures Office is responsible for the financial settlement of all provided services and administered medications and materials of all patients of all insurance agencies.

Aiming at the timely and proper management and settlement of the cost of health services, this office crosschecks information against provisions in force, settles outstanding financial obligations, prepares aggregated reports, issues invoices and sends all the above to the respective insurance funds along with the required supporting documentation.

Catering Establishments - Kitchens

Kitchens are located at the lower level of the Hospital and are supplied with raw materials through a separate service courtyard. The operation of kitchens is assigned through tender to a contractor, who uses the establishments and equipment of the Hospital in oder to prepare the meals that are offered to patients, personnel and visitors.

At the establishments of the Papageorgiou General Hospital all necessary procedures are applied in order to ensure the safety of food, in accordance with the principles of the HACCP methodology.

The central system that is implemented, includes the preparation, portioning and finally distribution of meals. Food trays that are transfered from the catering department, have a label with the information of the patient, who will receive the food, attached to them. They are placed inside isolated isothermal carts, where food is reheated before being served to the patients. Food is served on the one hand warm and on the other under temperature and time controlled conditions.

Cold foods (e.g. sandwiches) are prepared in the cold kitchen, where room temperature is 16-17°C. Cooked meals are prepared in the hot kitchen, the operation of which is based on the COOK & GHILL system. This system involves the rapid chilling of cooked meals at 3°C (temperature is checked through the insertion of a thermocouple to the center of its mass) within a maximum of 1.5-2 hours from their production, in order to ensure that the food does not remain for long in the temperature danger zone, i.e. the range of temperatures in which microorganisms can grow rapidly (5-63°C). The food is then stored in the refrigerator at 3°C for up to three days (72 h). It is then portioned while frozen, at a special temperature-controlled area (14-16°C), on a moving film, in trays that contain plates and utensils. These trays are then placed on isothermal carts, which contain a heating department for the main dish that is covered by a stainless lid and a non heated one for the tray that contains side dishes. Carts are transfered to the food offices of the department in order to be reheated at 125°C for 30 mins. The food is then distributed to patients by the personnel of the hospital.

Used utensils are gathered on carts once again and are transfered to the washing area, which is located within the kitchens. They are washed in a tunnel type dish-washer, while the carts are also washed in and out. Clean utensils and carts are transfered to the portioning area, where they remain until they are to be used again.

The implementation of the COOK & CHILL system offers the required flexibility to the management of the ordering system and to the programming of the production process, so that there is always available food that is kept under controlled hygiene and safety conditions in all stages of the production and transferring. It also creates the conditions for the installation of a fully controlled meal ordering system with selections from a daily list.

At the restaurant of the Hospital the food served on a daily basis is produced using the traditional technique that is supported by the COOK & SERVE system; i.e. the food is cooked and then is immediately placed in a temperature-controlled showcase, where temperature is at >65°C, in order to be immediately consumed.
