1.2 Introduction to Om hospital
OM Hospital and research centre (OHRC) was first established as OM Nursing Home in 1990 (2046 B.S). The former Om Nursing home began its operation as one of the initial private registered Nursing Home in Nepal having almost all the medical, surgical and investigative services.
Om Nursing Home started its service with 8 beds provided by 3 doctors. Gradually, OM Nursing Home started adding its beds from 8 to 25 and later to 50. In 2052 B.S. Om Nursing Home was registered as OM Hospital and Research Center (P) Ltd. under the company act of Nepal. OHRC featured 50 beds (Deluxe to general) while it was situated at Kamalpokhari, kathmandu Nepal.
In mid 1999 the concept of large-scale hospital was finalized which as a result, a large scale hospital with all the present facilities and other new and improved facilities was planned at chabahil, Kathmandu. The new OM Hospital and Research center has building construction in 4 Ropani with total area of 12 Ropanies. It started its operation from July 8th 2002.
The dedicated and excellent service has enabled them to turn a Nursing Home into a 150 bedded hospital which provides diagnostic, preventive and curative services. The Role of this is to provide modern clinical services at competitive rates, training heath professionals, and to provide research information to the medical world. Keeping in the concept of having everything under single roof not only saves time but also provides confidence to patients by ensuring that the patients acquire reliable diagnostic services and health care of the highest quality.
The promoters of OHRC are Nepalese businessman, Doctors and social activist including both male and female, all the promoters are from Nepal. All the shareholders of the hospital act as the promoters for the hospital. There are all together 46 shareholders of the hospital.
1.3 Background of study

It also helps to generate the skills in solution to rising cost pressures in hospital management, successfully targeting the growth market of diagnostic as well as focusing on disease management and further development of pharmaceuticals as well as related medical services.
As far as hospitals are concerned, the cost of medical services is rising with no corresponding increase in hospital budget. As a result modern hospitals are confronted with a number of challenges. Without having proper knowledge of hospital and its various aspects, it is difficult to manage and operate hospital.
