Abstract
The efficiency of health management functions in healthcare facilities is crucial for providing high-quality care to patients. This essay explores the impact of internal organizational environment factors on the efficiency of health management functions within health facilities. By examining internal factors such as, organizational culture, communication, and resources, this essay aims to determine how these factors contribute to or hinder the efficiency of health management functions. The results show that a positive organizational environment, characterized by strong leadership, a supportive culture, effective communication, and adequate resources, plays a significant role in enhancing the efficiency of health management functions. Conversely, negative internal factors, such as poor leadership, a toxic organizational culture, ineffective communication, and limited resources, can impede the efficiency of health management functions. Ultimately, the essay concludes that addressing internal organizational environment factors is essential for optimizing health management functions and improving overall healthcare outcomes.
