Improving the efficiency of healthcare providers

INTRODUCTION
Worldwide, the exponential growth in healthcare costs has led to a focus on improving the efficiency of healthcare providers. To this end, several means have been made available, such as improving the quality of leadership, which will provide effective services, improving working conditions and employees, and developing the structures and resources allocated for this purpose (Awamleh and Gardner, 1999). The laboratory is a professional bureaucracy-type organization (Mintzberg: 1989) with multiple and heterogeneous components, with a diversity of profiles of the different actors who rub shoulders daily. A good manager, who wants to succeed in a competitive environment, must consider this hetero-complexity, in this particular institution "where neither error nor delay are tolerated, due to a vital prognosis that can be engaged at any time" (N. EBOLO: 2019). Beyond the action of the Ministry and the various health administrations, a large part of what we have to invent comes back to the actors in the field. In this scheme, managers lead in supporting change and adapting organizations to new challenges. It is they, through their ability to understand the needs of the populations, their proximity to the professionals working in the various professions, and their in-depth knowledge of the realities of the communities, who are and will be able to define and implement the most effective organizational modalities to meet the challenges of the health system (Ham, 2012; Storey and Holti, 2013). To evaluate these different parameters, we will therefore show, firstly, the importance of the organizational structure and the type of management in improving the quality and reducing variations in health services is one of the most important objectives of governments and societies as a whole; second, to present the impact of different leadership styles on health care outcomes and the validation of leadership theories in the health care context. Third, we will respond to debates about the nature and effectiveness of the implementation of the National Health System (NHS) improvement programs: the Knowledge Skill Framework and the Agenda for Change.
I. IMPACT OF HIERARCHY WITHIN THE NHS
The hierarchical line is made up of the management of the organization. Indeed, it is the company's executives who serve as a transmission belt between the strategic top and the operational center. She embodies the voice of the strategic top and aims to spread her message to the teams at the bottom of the hierarchical pyramid. For example, in the area of care...
