It is important to consider organizational outcomes in the development of a strategic plan to ensure that changes are beneficial to the employees and the organization as a whole. In this assessment, practice creating a strategic plan proposal that aligns with organizational outcomes.

For this assessment, assume the following organizational outcomes apply to the organization described in the professional experience from Units 1-3.

Outcome #1: Increasing quality metrics as related to patient care and health outcomes.
Currently, patient satisfaction scores are at a historic low and patients are not feeling that their care is high quality and effective.
Outcome #2: Decreasing financial abuse and misuse to maintain strong profit levels.
Recent financial analyses showed that the organization is losing money and reimbursement levels are lower than average.
Outcome #3: Strengthening the cultural competency of the organization as related to patients and employees/staff/medical staff.
The new influx of patients introduced a new demographic section to the organization which has not previously been treated in the office.

Instructions

Create a strategic plan proposal that aligns with the outcomes of the healthcare organization.
Using the steps covered in previous units, this strategic plan proposal will be the beginning of the actual process, so the plan needs to include the following:
- Statement of the problem or issue
- Rationale for the proposed plan
- Analysis of the organizational outcomes (are they positive outcomes, do they align with the overall expectations of the organization, can they actually be met?)
- Strategic plan is outlined with steps and expected timelines
- Potential hurdles or negative aspects are outlined with plans to mitigate
- Organizational outcomes are discussed and applied to the strategic plan
Complete additional research on this topic as necessary. Include at least 2 references, formatted APA style.
