How is The New Public Management applied in the occupational health care system?

The aim of this article or this study was to analyse how New Public Management (NPM) doctines are applied in the occuptional health care system (OHS), and the main focus is to describe and compare the views of decision-makers and occupational health workers within the framework of NPM.

Among both decision makers and occupational health personnel, the doctrine of strict criteria required for operation evaluation came up strongly. Decision makers strongly accentuated the doctrines of professional management in the public sectors and the reorganisation of public sector units. These doctrines were not equally relevant in the view of OH personnel. Decision makers thoughts about OH's municipal development was more similar to doctrines than the view of OH personnel, neither group of respondents felt that the doctrine of private management models was relevant and there were some relevant main categories not included in Hoods doctrine, altogether the new public management and hood's framework fit well with occupational health research. The framework brought out both municipal oH's development and need for change as well as differences in the view of decision makers and OH personnel.

Some relevant important issues related are :   

1.  Clear autorithy for the OH management was seen to clarify the challenging role of OHS related to municipal decision makers, other primary health care, and the employers.

2.  High profesionalism (expertise and education) in the personnel generates special demands for the management and development of OH.

3.  The need for reorganisation of municipal OH, regardless of different precondition, was obvious for both decision makers and OH personnel.

4.  The NPM framework also brought out differences between the OH personnel's and decision-makers worlds in terms of OH. This is significant information since the starting point of change and development is different among workers as compared to decision makers.

5. One aim of this study was to test and develop the new public management ideology in the context of OH. For he system-level and country-spesific analysis, Hood's doctrine provides a good framework.(Hakulinen et al. 2011)
