Introduction

On the Job Trainee (OJT) is one of the best training methods because it is planned, organized and conducted at the employees worksite. OJT will generally be the primary method used for broadening employee skills and increasing productivity. It is particularly appropriate for the developing proficiency skills unique to an employees job, especially jobs that are relatively easy to learn and require locally owned equipment and facilities.

It also helps the students to acquire relevant knowledge and skills by performing in actual work setting. Colleges and Universities require their students to undergo such training within a specific number of hours as part of the curriculum. The job training program is an activity done by the students to get experiences in subjects in the real work world. The job training which is done by students in a company or a institution should be the line with the mainstream chosen be the student.

On-the-job training has a general reputation of its effectiveness for vocational work. Its expediency is a major reason for a company to adopt it. However, many companies may only notice its benefits, like few costs and can be implemented quickly, but neglect is limitations.

Normally, this type of training is to transfer knowledge from a skilled and experienced worker to a new-hire; in other words, someone who knows how to do a task shows another how to perform it. Trainees are learnt through training in an actual work setting, to the processes, work tasks, tools and methods of a specific job or group jobs. So, it is especially appropriate for the developing proficiency skills unique to an

employees job, which is relatively easy to learn and require working with equipments or facilities.

In practicing on the job training, one trainer usually will assign one to few trainees, depending on the jobs characteristic. Because of the reasons that on-the-job training method is planned, organized, and conducted as to enhance employees skills and productivities.

Chapter I Description of the Cooperating Agency

Description The Philippine Department of Health , abbreviated as DOH, is the executive department of the Philippine government responsible for ensuring access to basic public health services by all Filipinos through the provision of quality health care and the regulation of all health services and products. It is the government's over-all technical authority on health. It has its headquarters at the San Lazaro Compound, along Rizal Avenue in Manila. The department is led by the Secretary of Health, nominated by the President of the Philippines and confirmed by the Commission on Appointments. The Secretary is a member of the Cabinet. The current Secretary of Health is Enrique Ona.

History On September 29, 1898, the Americans established a military Board of Health with Dr. Frank S. Bourns as president. The purpose of this Board of Health was to care for injured American troops but as the hostilities between Filipinos and Americans waned in 1901, a civilian Board of Health was now deemed appropriate with Dr. L. M. Maus as the first health commissioner. In the early 1900s, 200,222 lives including 66,000 children were lost; three percent of the population was decimated in the worst epidemic in Philippine health history. In view of this, the Americans organized and erected several institutions, including the Bureau of Governmental Laboratories, which was built in 1901 for medical research and vaccine production. The Americans, led by Dean Worcester built the UP College of Medicine and Surgery in 1905, with Johns Hopkins University serving as a blueprint, at the time, one of the best medical schools in the world. By 1909, nursing instruction was also begun at the Philippine Normal School. In terms of public health, the Americans improved on the sewer system and provided a safer water supply.

In 1915, the Bureau of Health was reorganized and renamed into the Philippine Health Service. During the succeeding years leadership and a number of health institutions were already being given to Filipinos, in accordance with the Organic Act of 1916. On January 1, 1919, Dr. Vicente De Jesus became the first Filipino to head the Health portfolio. In 1933, after reorganization, the Philippine Health Service reverted to being known as the Bureau of Health. It was during this time that it pursued its official journal, The Health Messenger and established Community Health and Social Centers, precursors to today's Barangay Health Centers. By 1936, as Governor-General Frank Murphy was assuming the post of United States High Commissioner, he would remark that the Philippines led all oriental countries in terms of health status.[3] When the Commonwealth of the Philippines was inaugurated, Dr. Jose

Fabella was named chief of the Bureau of Health. In 1936, Dr. Fabella reviewed the Bureau of Healths organization and made an inventory of its existing facilities, which consisted of 11 community and social health centers, 38 hospitals, 215 puericulture centers, 374 sanitary divisions, 1,535 dispensaries and 72 laboratories. In the 1940s, the Bureau of Health was reorganized into the Department of Health and Public Welfare, still under Fabella. During this time, the major priorities of the agency were tuberculosis,malnutrition, malaria, leprosy, gastrointestinal disease, and the high infant mortality rate. When the Japanese occupied the Philippines, they dissolved the National Government and replaced it with the Central Administrative Organization of the Japanese Army. Health was relegated to the Department of Education, Health and Public Welfare under Commissioner Claro M. Recto. In 1947, President Manuel Roxas signed Executive Order (E.O.) No. 94 into law, calling for the creation of the Department of Health. Dr. Antonio C. Villarama as appointed Secretary. A new Bureau of Hospitals and a Bureau of Quarantine was created under DOH. Under E.O. 94, the Institute of Nutrition was created in 1948 to coordinate various nutrition activities of the different agencies.

On February 20, 1958, Executive Order 288 provided for the reorganization of the Department of Health. This entailed a partial decentralization of powers and created eight Regional Health Offices. Under this setup, the Secretary of Health passed on some of responsibilities to the regional offices and directors. One of the priorities of the Marcos administration was health maintenance. From 1975 to the mid-eighties, four specialty hospitals were built in succession. The first three institutions were spearheaded by First Lady Imelda Marcos. The Philippine Heart Center was established on February 14, 1975 with Dr. Avelino Aventura as director. Second, the Philippine Childrens Medical Center was built in 1979. Then in 1983, the National Kidney and Transplant Institute was set up. This was soon followed by the Lung Center of the Philippines, which was constructed under the guidance of Health Minister Dr. Enrique Garcia. With a shift to a parliamentary form of government, the Department of Health was transformed into the Ministry of Health on June 2, 1978 with Dr. Clemente S. Gatmaitan as the first health minister. On April 13, 1987, the Department of Health was created from the previous Ministry of Health with Dr. Alfredo R. A. Bengzon as secretary of health.

MANAGEMENT TEAM The Referral Management Team provides an accessible, responsive service for individuals who are experiencing a mental illness and / or increase in their psychological distress which requires an intervention from a mental health service. The Referral Management Team screens and triages all adult referrals (16 years upwards), excluding Drug and Alcohol Team and the Crisis Response Home Treatment Team referrals, into the Mental Health Service. The nursing team provides support, information and education for referrers, service users, relatives and carers in relation to mental illness and treatment options. They ensure a collaborative approach which considers the contributions, needs and health and safety of service users, relatives, carers, the general public and staff.

They provide brief psycho-educative interventions for individuals who will not require an onward referral to another Mental Health Service area due to the preventative and restorative nature of these interventions. E.g. Rewind Intervention, Brief Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Approach and Anxiety Management.

The historical narrative of the Philippine Department of Health (DOH) demonstrates the interplay between international influences and local priorities by illustrating how foreign governance and expertise were initially pivotal to its development. American colonization introduced Western medical practices and institutions such as the Bureau of Governmental Laboratories and the UP College of Medicine . As local governance took precedence, there was an effort to adapt these influences to fit Philippine needs, exemplified by the focus on endemic health issues like tuberculosis and malnutrition . The transition from American-led to Filipino-led health leadership saw further localization, tailoring international practices to address national health concerns, which reflects a blend of adopting global best practices while prioritizing local health needs . These events underscore a dynamic adaptive process integrating external influences with internal health strategies .

The evolution of the Philippine Department of Health (DOH) closely mirrored changes in governance and political priorities in the country. Initially established during American colonial rule, its focus was on sanitary reforms and public health infrastructure . Over time, as political power shifted, so did the DOH, reflecting governance priorities such as decentralization of healthcare under President Roxas and the development of specialty hospitals under President Marcos . The transformation from a Ministry of Health back to a Department in 1987 under President Aquino marked a return to more traditional government structures, indicating political shifts towards democratic governance and institution-building . These changes highlight how the DOH's structure and focus have been responsive to broader national governance trends and policy priorities .

Historical shifts in public health focus have significantly influenced the organizational priorities of the Philippine Department of Health (DOH). Initially, the focus was on combating infectious diseases and bolstering medical research, as seen in the early 1900s during the establishment of the Bureau of Governmental Laboratories . Subsequent decades prioritized expanding public health infrastructure and services, leading to the creation of community health centers . Under President Marcos, the DOH shifted towards specialized healthcare with the establishment of specialty hospitals, emphasizing disease prevention and health maintenance . These shifts reflect responses to evolving health challenges and advancements in medical science, underscoring a dynamic strategy to national health improvements .

The organizational structure and focus of the Philippine Department of Health (DOH) changed significantly over time to address evolving public health needs. Initially established as a military and then civilian Board of Health, its focus was on addressing epidemic diseases and enhancing medical education . It evolved to include various health-related agencies such as the Bureau of Governmental Laboratories for medical research and the Institute of Nutrition . During the 1970s and 1980s, under the Marcos administration, the DOH prioritized health maintenance by establishing specialty hospitals and decentralizing powers to regional offices . These changes improved healthcare accessibility and specialized medical services in the country .

The current mission and vision of the Department of Health (DOH) emphasize achieving equitable, sustainable, and quality health for all Filipinos, aligning with its historical development and organizational changes by building on a foundation that started with addressing public health crises and expanding health education and services .

These historical changes reflect a commitment to enhancing healthcare accessibility and quality, directly supporting the current mission and vision statements that focus on health equity and excellence .

On-the-job training (OJT) is particularly beneficial for vocational work because it involves practical, hands-on learning that closely aligns with the daily tasks and challenges encountered in such jobs . It enables trainees to learn in the actual work setting, which aids in the development of relevant skills that can be directly applied to their roles. To optimize its effectiveness, organizations should ensure that the training is well-planned and organized, with skilled trainers who can provide consistent and high-quality guidance. Additionally, organizations should monitor the process to prevent the reinforcement of incorrect practices and provide feedback to enhance learning outcomes .

On-the-job training (OJT) enhances the skills and productivity of employees by allowing them to learn job tasks while performing them, providing hands-on experience that is particularly suitable for developing proficiency in tasks unique to an employee's role . This method is expedient and cost-effective, as it utilizes existing workplace resources and can be quickly implemented . However, its limitations include a dependency on the skill and teaching ability of the trainer, potential for inconsistent training quality, and the possibility of reinforcing bad habits if not closely monitored .

The establishment of specialty hospitals in the Philippines significantly impacted the nation's healthcare system by enhancing access to specialized medical care and addressing complex medical needs. Institutions like the Philippine Heart Center and the National Kidney and Transplant Institute provided focused medical services that were previously unavailable at such scale within the country . These hospitals helped advance medical practice in the Philippines, attracting skilled professionals and fostering the development of medical expertise in areas like cardiology and organ transplantation. Moreover, they improved healthcare outcomes by providing high-quality services that were essential for addressing both prevalent and complex health issues .

The Referral Management Team plays a crucial role in the mental health service by providing an accessible, responsive service for individuals experiencing mental illness. It screens and triages referrals to ensure appropriate mental health interventions are provided . The team collaborates with a wide range of stakeholders, including service users, relatives, carers, and health professionals, to ensure a comprehensive approach that respects the needs, health, and safety of all involved . They offer brief psycho-educative interventions, which can prevent the need for further referrals, thereby reducing the strain on mental health services .

The main rules and regulations for trainees at the Department of Health include strict adherence to time policies, mandatory dress codes requiring a shirt with a collar, and restrictions on trainees entering the office during certain hours or mingling with employees after work . These policies reflect the organization's priorities for professionalism, discipline, and maintaining a formal work environment. Strict timekeeping emphasizes punctuality and accountability, while dress codes project a professional image, aligning with the department's mission to uphold the quality and reputation of public health services .
