Healthcare quality and promoting care affordability

You will create an Action Plan. The Action Plan should be 1,000-1,250 words and focused on goal setting and the establishment of those goals. Identify two to three goals that you can focus on within your organization. By identifying only a couple we are wanting you to really explore and clearly identify all aspects that would be surrounding that goal and implementation. Please make sure to be detailed in your action plan. You will want to focus on the following:

1. Goals and outcomes
   • Is there a competitive advantage? Cost analysis?
   • Leadership costs?
   • Alignment with overall strategic direction?
   • Functional area impact (Examples – Clinical Operations, Human resources, Marketing, IT, HIMS)
2. Structure
   • Including alliances, affiliations, contractual relationships, etc.
   • Hybrid?
   • Organizational structure in place- current/future?
   • Systems?
3. Financial data overview
   • Include a summary of what financial data you examined or would examine. For each financial statement, describe the specific factors that informed you or would inform you (net revenue, profit loss, balance sheet major).
4. Personnel/Staffing
   • Include provider relationships as appropriate.
   • Organizational structure
   • Human resources
5. Implementation schedule: Develop an implementation schedule that identifies the resources and competences in your department and describe how they are matched to the strategic initiative. Identify how your action plan aligns to the organization’s strategic direction.
