Evaluae The Risks And Benefits Of Organizational Change

Identify concepts in organizational decisions, strategic alliances, and managing efficiency and effectiveness.

Instructions

As an outside healthcare consultant, you have been hired by Gotham City Hospital to conduct and write a risk analysis report about upcoming organizational changes at the hospital.

Your role as an outside healthcare consultant is to develop a three-page executive summary to identify the risks and benefits of the organizational change at the hospital.

Write a three-page executive summary that will be sent to executive staff at the healthcare facility in order to make organizational changes and processes at the hospital.

Topics should include:

  • The pros and cons of having non-medical staff making medical decisions.
  • The importance of the management of resources, including staff, money, and inventory.
  • Getting the buy-in of facility staff and administrators with suggested changes.

Scenario

You have recently been promoted to Health Services Manager at Three Mountains Regional Hospital, a small hospital located in a mid-size city in the Midwest. Three Mountains is a general medical and surgical facility with 400 beds. Last year there were approximately 62,000 emergency visits and 15,000 admissions. More than 6,000 outpatient and 10,000 inpatient surgeries were performed.

The CEO and the Board of Directors have tasked you with developing an intake packet for new patients that will help establish patient trust in the facility and its employees. The patient packet will address new patient concerns by including information about HIPAA, informed consent, a confidential health history report, and a living will. The new packet will also include the values of the organization and a code of ethics.

 

Instructions

You are now ready to take the basic components you have created so far and, using those as a foundation, create the final Intake Packet the hospital will use during admissions. The Intake Packet will be comprised of the following elements:

  • A New Patient Letter to accompany the Intake Packet
    • The letter should be in business letter format (Here is a library resource for help writing a business letter.)
    • The letter should address the following points for the patient:
      • An explanation of the importance of ethics
      • Why each part of the packet is included
      • How the packet is to be used
    • The letter should also include a HIPAA/Confidentiality statement
    • The letter should also include a Privacy Pledge

    The Code of Ethics

Triggers And Contingencies

 

Strategic plans are focused on current and future company goals,  therefore changes in the environment must be detected and monitored.  Changes in the environment that impinge on the company’s strategic plan  are known as external triggers and triggers are paired with plans to  successfully deal with them. These paired actions are known as  contingency plans. What qualities make a future issue a “trigger”?

As an example, consider you are on the strategic planning team for a  soft drink company. A merger of two major competitors next year would  constitute a future trigger. For this discussion, consider the  Environmental Scan and SWOT analysis you conducted in Week 2. Formulate a  trigger/contingency pair in the form of a three-part sentence similar  to the example in the textbook. Examine it in terms of the three  guidelines that good contingency plans should follow.

Post a summary of your selected company and risks that you perceive  based on your prior Environmental Scan and SWOT analysis. State the  three-sentence trigger/contingency pair and justify your choice of  contingency plan using information from the week’s readings and/or other  scholarly or credible resources, using the Scholarly, Peer-Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources (Links to an external site.) table for guidance.

(NOTE: Incorporate the feedback you receive from your instructor and  save your work. It will be part of your Strategic Plan Final Project for  this course).

Break-Even Analysis

 

Managers  use tools like the Break-Even Analysis in both the planning  and  controlling functions of Management. In this assignment, you’ll  practice  using the Break-Even formula to help Ryan determine when his  business  will begin to turn a profit.

Instructions:

Using the information from the Learning Module 2, calculate the   break-even point in each of the scenarios.  Provide a response to the   questions in the conclusion.  Be sure to use either Word or Excel and to show your work.

Scenario 1

After receiving bad service at the local car wash, Ryan has decided   to start VDB Detailing!  One of his first decisions when planning his   business – he needs to calculate the number of vehicles he will need to   detail before breaking even.  His uncle has offered to let him use a   small section of his shop for only $300 per month. Ryan is going to pay   his friend, Gabe, $10/hour to help him. He has estimated his  additional  expenses and other details to be the following:

  • Insurance $200/month
  • His share of monthly utilities $95
  • Wax $2.00
  • Towels, soap, and other supplies $3.50/vehicle
  • Leasing of equipment $100/month
  • Marketing $105/month budgeted
  • He estimates that it will take him 4 hours to detail a vehicle if  he  has help from his friend (Hint: how much is this total per car?).
  • He plans to charge $120 per vehicle.

Question #1 – How many vehicles does Ryan need to detail each month to break even?

Scenario 2

Ryan is now considering leaving his full-time job to grow his business but does not want to lose his salary.

Question #2 – If he decides to pay himself $2000 per month how many   cars does he have to detail in a month now to break even? Assume all   other figures remain constant from scenario 1.

Conclusion

Are these numbers attainable? Please explain. List two suggestions   you could give Ryan that would affect his break even point in a   favorable manner, using the Break-Even Formula to justify them.
