It depicts the formal organizational relationship, areas of responsibility, to whom one is accountable and the channel of communication" The chart clearly shows the line and staff positions in an organization. Therefore for proper management each primary health centre is supposed to have an organizational chart.

CONCEPT OF LINE AND STAFF POSITION:

In every organization, the hierarchy of personnel that extends from the executives on top to the workers at the bottom this is what is referred to as the line of the organization.
The people in the line position produce the goods and services for which such an organization is known. The people in the line position are responsible for supervising and infact performing all the primary functions in an organization.

In the primary health care centre, the personnel in the line positions include the community health officer, who is usually the executive on the top, the community health supervisors, the community health aides etc.
