It is mainly a vertical structure with director who has full decision reservation power, hence the structure has minimum decentralisation. The other staff has no autonomy.This hospital works basically on loyalty and trust and personal affinity and caters to a small existence in the village Chitradurga, India. This structure is congruous with small hospitals like this. But disadvantage is that it is highly dependent on the director and is individual centric (www.healthcaremagic.com)If we compare the 2 structure in relation to, 1) Central Peripheral relations Fortis is much bigger hospital and has separate division for each department and there is decentralisation and semi-autonomy for each department and the purchaser and provider divisions are separate. Whereas Krishna Nursing Home has no decentralisation and no autonomy for the departments and all decisions are taken by the director. 2) Links with other organisational groups Fortis has links and tie-ups with many other smaller hospitals which observe cases to them and also has link ups with various insurance companies.Whereas Krishna Nursing Home has no tie-ups with any other hospitals and works alone and caters to a small commonwealth. 3) familiar structure Hierarchy, as mentioned above Fortis hospital has minimal vertical but complex horizontal distribution of power so it has a pamper organisational shape which helps in effective communication and decision making and has widened collaborative links between various departments and divisions resulting in internal linking and average spans of control w hereas Krishna Nursing Home has vertical structure and is fully hierarchic found and there is no internal linking between departments (Merson et.,al, 2006).CONCLUSION Both these hospitals has only different organisational structure but both are successful because the targeted population for both are different. While, Fortis targets higher and wider range of population and focuses on specialize services, hence has complex organisational structure. Whereas Krishna Nursing Home caters to a small population andprovides basic services and hence has a simple vertical hierarchical structure.REFERENCESFortis Healthcare signs pact with US hospital online.
