Healthcare
Part 2 Strategic and Long-range Planning and Outcome Measures.
• Due by the end of Week 3 at 11:59 pm, ET.
Organizational development is the sum of an organization’s knowledge, strategic practices, and the use of those to cultivate members’ behaviors and outcomes. The health industry is an intricate network of patient care facilities and workers with the primary goal of caring for patients in a cost-effective manner. Thus, organizational structures in healthcare tend to focus on efficiency and management. The basic ingredients of organizational development include strategy and planning, leadership structure, staff development (performance evaluation, coaching and mentoring), continuous improvement, established operational processes, team building, and communication strategy.
Review the primary care outpatient clinic scenario and write a minimum of a 400-word paper to the Corporate executives that describes each employee’s job role. Clarify each employee’s role in the clinic. Then propose at least one goal to help the clinic be successful in the long-term. Identify one outcome measure that could be used to monitor quality, productivity, or efficiency. Use at least one scholarly reference in your paper to support your recommendations.
Points to include in your paper :
• Clarify each member’s role within the clinic (provide a brief list of physician and nurse duties, briefly describe duties of office staff). Equipped with this knowledge each employee can become proficient in their role and expand upon it, thus they will engage more, take more responsibility, collaborate more, and achieve more in the organization.
• Suggest one goal that you as a health manager might establish to help the clinic run efficiently in the long term
o Hint – think about staffing schedules, provider coverage, routine staff meetings
o Areas to consider might be developing community relationships, implementing written policies and procedures for the clinic, costs management ideas, and continuing education to stay informed about changes in healthcare policy
• Identify one outcome measure needed to monitor performance
o Hint – think about monitoring missed patient appointments, patient satisfaction surveys, infection control (tracking clinic acquired infections, staff compliance to hand washing and wearing disposable gloves)
