The governing board of Middleville hired a consulting company to evaluate its strategic performance, specifically in the areas of Human Resources, Information Technology, Financing, and Marketing. As part of the consultant’s evaluation, several leaders of Middleville’s units were asked their perspective of the organization’s performance.

You are working for the consultant. Your job is to identify the issues from the response that should be considered further by the consultant team and possibly discussed with the governing board and the CEO. The firm has a rule, “Never offer a criticism or negative finding without suggesting how the client organization can correct it,” so you must indicate what sort of correction you would recommend as part of your list. Because you know there were about two (2) dozen other interviews, you decide you should rank your issues in importance, to make sure the most critical are discussed.

Write a six to eight (6-8) page paper in which you:

  1. Explain the governing board’s role in these strategic initiatives, determining its responsibility and involvement.
  2. Evidence-based management means that operational and strategic decisions are made based upon the evidence that goals and objectives are actually being met. Quantitative measurements must be identified and measured. This data is then used to evaluate the HCO’s performance. Name three (3) performances Middleville can use to measure its success in providing quality healthcare to the community, and identify quantifiable, measureable indicators that can be used to do so. Explain the importance of each performance measurement.
  3. Given the statistics of Middleville and its two (2) competitors provided in Table 1, recommend to the HCO what areas it should focus on to maintain its competitive market share as well as continue to provide healthcare to the community in the 21st century.
  4. Some of Middleville’s Board members are very interested in pursuing advanced technology systems over the next five (5) years, while others are concerned about the enormous expense and need assurance that the investment in technology will be worthwhile. In both monetary and process terms, describe the costs and benefits associated with implementing EMR and associated health data systems. Lay out a plan for how various systems can be implemented.
  5. Middleville has faced many challenges in recruiting and retaining nurses and other clinical employees. The economy has hit the area very hard and budgetary limitations have reduced the amount of money available for salary increases. The Board knows it needs to provide other benefits to their valued employees. Provide at least two (2) suggestions to Human Resources to promote employee satisfaction and, therefore, retain experienced personnel.
  6. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.
  7. Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:

a. Typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.

b. Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.

c. Include a reference page. Citations and references must follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

  • Examine how healthcare management concepts and theories are applied to critical issues in healthcare organizations.
  • Analyze the critical management issues, purpose, functions, and performance measures of different departments within healthcare organizations.
  • Explain how public policy has shaped the development of the U.S. healthcare system.
  • Use technology and information resources to research issues in health services organization management.

HEALTH SERVICES ORGANIZATION MANAGEMENT
Explain the governing board’s role in these strategic initiatives, determining its
responsibility and involvement.
Governing boards are bestowed with primary responsibilities of creating policies, making
decisions, and being on the lookout of all organizational activities. It is essential to implement
basic policies effectively in order to acquire the goals of an organization’s decision-making and
oversight of activities at large. Policies concentrate on some responsibilities associated with the
board, management, and the medical staff too. Well-written and frequently reviewed policies
lead to successful coordination of the board members. When making decisions, the board is
required to consider the vision, mission, as well as the set objectives of the organization, to
ensure that each is met on a timely basis. Another role of the board is to oversee the future of an
organization in terms of success targets. It is responsible for overseeing everything that happens
in the organization. In other words, the board functions as an emergency department or rather a
nursing unit of an organization. The role of a strategic initiative is to make it easy to run the
organization. For a board to assess the performance of an organization, it looks into the human
resources, finance, information technology, as well as the marketing strategies. This way, they
will get to know what to improve and set strategies of improving the performance. Even though
an organization’s management set plans, the board has to accept and adjust the plans so that they
take the correct direction (Arnwine, 2002).
It is the role of the board to account for the assets that belong to the community. All
departments in an organization are held responsible for the success of an organization and so a
lot of goals must be met. A good example is in the case of Middleville which shows 575 beds but
in the real sense the admissions made are 13,000. It is therefore required that the organization

puts in more beds to the facility in order to cater for the accommodation needs. It would be
difficult to make the admissions with fewer beds.
Introducing more operations at the institution’s different wings or floors may make the
operations run smoothly. The organization ought to hire physicians who are trained and
specialized in diverse fields of the medical professio...
