Summary

• Description:

  HSM 213 — Health Systems Management I covers everything a KMTC Diploma in Clinical Medicine and Surgery student needs to manage a health facility, taught across five chapters. It opens with leadership and management: definitions, the evolution of management theory from Taylor to systems thinking, the functions of management (planning, organizing, staffing, directing, controlling), and six leadership styles set out in a comparison table. It then maps the Kenyan health system through the six KEPH levels, devolution, cadres, and the referral pathway, before working through human resource management in depth, including recruitment, motivation theories, the disciplinary process, CPD requirements under the Clinical Officers Council, and the Work Injury Benefits Act. Communication, report writing, advocacy, and inter-sectoral collaboration follow, and the unit closes with the full commodity management cycle, KEMSA ordering, inventory control, and procurement law. The notes use Garamond formatting, Kenyan examples throughout, three reference tables, bold lead-in definitions, eight diagram prompts, and a bullet-form summary. They are written for KMTC diploma students preparing for exams and for early practice as a facility in-charge.
