Discussion Post: Mission and Philosophy of a Healthcare Organization
Select a healthcare organization in South Florida (i.e Baptist Health, Memorial, Broward Health, etc.). The one you work for is a good choice because you have knowledge, access and experience with its inner workings. You may need to talk with managers in your facility to obtain information. In a 2 to 3 pages paper, analyze the following:
• Discuss the mission and philosophy of a healthcare organization in relation to its strategic plan. (Another way of thinking about it - What is the organization's mission and philosophy and how is this seen in its strategic plan?)
• Describe methods used to meet the goals of a strategic plan using best practices. (Another way of thinking about it- What methods are being used by the organization to meet the goals of its strategic plan? Are these methods based on best practices?)
• Critique evaluative effectiveness of a strategic plan. (Another way of thinking about it - How well is the strategic plan working? How is the organization evaluating what is being done? Are changes to the methods or plan being made based on results achieved?)
The response should include a reference list. Using one-inch margins, Times New Roman 12 pnt font, double-space and APA style of writing and citations.
