Tiana Palmer Class, This week, I decided to research the comparison and differences between strategic planning with managerial, operational, and disaster planning. Managerial Planning Managerial planning consists of both long- and short-term strategies which provides an organizational mission statement. It functions in a way to decide what is to be done, when, where, and how. Managerial planning also consists of one following these steps: understanding the mission and vision, identifying the objective, courses of action, evaluate alternatives, choosing a course of action, implementing a plan and last evaluating the results. Strategic vs. Operational Planning The planning to pursue an organization's vision is known as Strategic Planning. The planning to achieve the tactical objectives of the organization is known as Operational Planning. Strategic Planning is long-lasting as compared to Operational Planning. Operational planning supports strategic planning. Strategic Planning considers the internal as well as the external environment of a business. Conversely, Operational Planning is concerned with the internal environment of a business. Strategic Planning is done by top-level management, whereas Operational Planning is a function of middle-level management. Strategic Planning covers the whole organization, but Operational Planning is in a particular unit or department of the organization. Strategic vs. Disaster Planning Disaster planning includes the four phases of comprehensive emergency management: mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. Mitigation involves preventive measures to reduce vulnerabilities. In healthcare, these include structural hardening and non-structural measures such as laws, guidelines, and surveillance. Disasters, both natural and human-made, can occur at any time and have increased in frequency. A study mentions that since the 2001 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, there has been an improvement in disaster preparedness and recognition of including public health and health care professionals in the planning process. There has also been an increase in government involvement at the Federal, State, and local levels. Disasters can take many forms and require healthcare leaders to take an all-hazards approach. Which step do you think is most important in strategic planning? Carol Kalcevic This week I choose to discuss a disorder/disease regarding the reproductive system. I leaned more towards the female reproductive system because I discovered there were a few disorders/disease I was unfamiliar with, so I took the opportunity to read more into them. 2 Pyosalphix, py/o meaning pus, -salpinx meaning fallopian tube, is an accumulation of pus in the fallopian tube. When the fallopian tubes fill with pus, it also causes them to swell. A complication of pelvic inflammation disease (PID), this infection can present itself with pain in the lower belly that is constant or that comes or goes, a lump, pain before menstruation, fever or pain during sex (Watson, 2018). One of the most severe symptoms of pyosalphix is infertility. Due to the swelling, the egg is unable to travel down the fallopian tube to be fertilized and then implant in the uterus. Pyosalphix is caused if PID or other infections are left untreated and can be diagnosed by a pelvic ultrasound, MRI and laparoscopy. Treatment most always is delivered in the form of antibiotics; however, in some severe cases, surgery is an option and the type is dependent upon the severity as well. Surgical options include: laparoscopy, bilateral salpingectomy, oophorectomy and/or hysterectomy (Watson, 2018). Of these surgical options, laparoscopy is this best due to fertility being persevered. Safe sex and proper hygiene is key to prevention of pyosalphix. Regular checkups, on doctor recommended scheduling is vital for women’s health. The prognosis for pyosalpinx solely depends on the severity of the case. In all cases, fertility, and its perseverance, is of the up most concern. Norris Sayviseth Erectile dysfunction (ED) ED is considered a common problem that men report to their primary care provider. This disorder affects as many as 30 million men. ED is defined as “trouble getting or keeping an erection that’s frim enough for sex” (Erectile Dysfunction, n.d.). Although it isn’t rare for men to have problems time to time with erections, ED that occurs routinely during intercourse isn’t normal and should be treated. Having ED can affect self-confidence, cause stress, and contribute to relationship issues. Having ED can be underlying signs of other health conditions that needs immediate treatment. ED can happen as an early warning sign for more serious diseases such as heart disease, atherosclerosis, diabetes, or high blood pressure. When ED occurs during sexual arousal, nerves releases chemicals that increases the blood flow into the penis. Blood flows into erection chambers that are made of muscle tissue that aren’t hollow. During erection, the muscle tissues trap blood and the pressure in the chambers make the penis firm. When a man orgasms, a set of nerve signals reach the muscular tissues in the penis to contract and blood is released into circulation that causes the erection to inflate. Symptoms of ED includes reduced sexual desire, trouble getting an erection, and trouble maintaining an erection. There can be multiple causes of ED, some factors include smoking, lack of exercise, drinking too much alcohol, being over the age of 50, and having high blood pressure. ED can be diagnosed by a mental and physical exam. Healthcare providers may ask personal questions to help diagnose any emotional or physiological issues that may cause ED. Blood test can also be ordered to uncover ED or hormonal problems. Treatment for ED really starts with vascular health. Doctors may ask you to change lifestyle habits such as quitting smoking and increase daily exercise. They may also prescribe some oral drugs to help with erection. The most common drugs are Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra. To prevent ED, it’s crucial to make healthy choices and to manage health conditions. Take steps to reduce stress, quit smoking, limit alcohol intake, seek help for anxiety, and see doctor regularly for check-ups.
