Abstract

The Saudi healthcare scene has seen significant changes, with an increased emphasis on improving the quality and availability of medical treatments. Given the critical role that hospitals play in the delivery of healthcare services, it is critical to understand the relationship between management strategies and operational efficiency. It is difficult to transform a weak existing program into a large project of national health care insurance in a country that lacks a stable and implanted national health care insurance program, such as KSA. This inclusion, while highly helpful for human health care, poses a significant challenge for health care management and may have an impact on Management Efficiency, which is heavily influenced by variables such as Management Staff Satisfaction. Plan for Facility Availability, Management Cost Reduction, and Patient Safety Improvement After healthcare insurance reforms, healthcare professionals were required to have compensatory shifts, which healthcare administrators were required to supply. Using well-established theories of organizational management and healthcare economics, this study will enhance hospital management practices in terms of operational efficiency results. Furthermore, the study looks into the extent to which the availability of health insurance functions as a moderator in this relationship. The availability of health care insurance influences patients' ability to obtain medical services and has the potential to influence the efficacy of hospital management practices. Quantitative research was employed to achieve these objectives. Quantitative data is gathered through surveys and historical hospital performance metrics derived from interviews and focus group conversations with key players in Saudi Arabia's healthcare system.
