Strategic Plan Strategic Planning Healthcare Management Class
Section 1 Health Service Organization: STRYKER (stryker.com) This paper is being done by a team so I am responsible for researching “Service Area Competitor Analysis” section below for the company Stryker & Internal Environmental Analysis Stryker Corporation in Michigan, USA produces a variety of medical technology products and hospital equipment such as stretcher. One of Stryker’s main competitors in providing a complete line of emergency handling equipment such as the “stretcher” or gurneys is Ferno-Washington. Please research the competitor analysis on FERNO- WASHINGTON who is Stryker’s main competitor in emergency medical services. Please use only reputable references sources such as journal articles. APA format with reference page. See instructions below. Competitor Analysis. There are likely multiple competitors in your service area. However, for this exercise, please research Ferno- Washington which is Stryker’s main competitor in Emergency Medical Service. Then, identify the strengths and weaknesses of the competitor. This section should be at least (1) full page.
Section 2 Internal Environmental Analysis- Service Delivery. For purposes of this exercise, please analyze the point-of-service. In your analysis of the point-of-service, first identify the strengths and weaknesses. Point of Service Strengths Weaknesses Next, evaluate the competitive relevance for strengths and weaknesses by determining the value, rareness, imitability, and sustainability of resources, competencies, and capabilities at the point of service. Point of Service Resources Competencies Capabilities Value (High or Low) Are the resources related to point of service of high value or low value? Are the competencies related to point of service of high value or low value? Are the capabilities related to point of service of high value or low value? Rare (Yes or No) Are the resources related to point of service rare? Are the competencies related to point of service rare?
Are the capabilities related to point of service rare? Imitability (Difficult or Easy) Are the resources related to point of service easy or difficult to imitate? Are the competencies related to point of service easy or difficult to imitate? Are the capabilities related to point of service easy or difficult to imitate? Sustainability (Yes or No) Are the resources related to point of service sustainable? Are the competencies related to point of service sustainable? Are the capabilities related to point of service sustainable? Resources – are the stocks of human and nonhuman factors that are available for use in producing goods and services (i.e. tangible = land, labor, or capital; intangible = intellectual property, reputation, and goodwill).
Competency – the collective knowledge and skills possessed by individuals may be a source of sustained competitive advantage for the organization. Capabilities – an organization’s ability to deploy resources and competencies, usually in combination, to produce desired services. Capabilities fall into one of the following two categories: ? The ability to make dynamic improvements to the organization’s activities through learning, renewal, and change over time; or ? The ability to develop strategic insights and recognize and arrange resources and competencies OR to develop novel strategies before or better than competitors. Third, based on this evaluation, identify if the point-of-service for your health service organization is a competitive strength or weakness. This section should be two (2) pages.

 

To prepare for this courses Practicum Experience address the following in your Practicum Journal:

Select and explain a nursing theory or feminist perspective to guide your clinical practice.

2. Develop goals and objectives for the Practicum Experience in this course. When developing your goals and objectives be sure to keep womens health guidelines and best practices in mind.
4. Create a timeline of practicum activities based on your practicum requirements.My time line starts 8/29 I will do two 8 hr days per week for 11weeksResourcesSchuiling K. D. & Likis F. E. (2013). Womens gynecologic health (2nd ed.). Burlington MA: Jones and Bartlett Publishers.??

CASE STUDY A You have been appointed as the Director of Clinical Services at a large (600 bed) metropolitan hospital – Ambrose Health. You are younger than the previous incumbent, being only 30 years of age and better qualified, having just completed a Master of Health Service Management and enrolled in a doctoral program. Most of your experience has been in smaller hospitals outside the metropolitan area. The executive management team made it clear to you at interview that they were interested in effecting change throughout the Clinical Services Division, which is why they were seeking an external appointment to the position.
In particular, they were seeking an individual who could establish a cohesive and productive working team. Shortly after commencing in the position it becomes obvious that much of what is achieved is as a result of ‘who you know’. There are many instances when the usual communication channels or procedures are not followed because of ‘system failures’ which have never been brought to anyone’s attention. When running short of stock medications, for example, many nurses contact the nursing unit manager of the medical ward as she has a ‘contact’ in the pharmacy, rather than working through appropriate channels to correct the problem.
Patients in the Coronary Care Unit are routinely admitted directly to the unit rather than through the Admissions Office because it is a slow and tedious process. When you ask why these problems have never been addressed formally, the nursing unit manager of the medical ward tells you “It has always been this way. I am a very experienced health professional – I know the system and how to get around it to get what I need to do the job properly. I see no reason to change things when I think the system is working well.” Questions to be answered (maximum of 750 words):
1. Propose three personal goals that will guide you in effecting change throughout the Clinical Services Division of Ambrose Health within the first six months.
2. Determine the major driving and restraining forces for change at Ambrose Health and strategies for dealing with these.
3. Determine relevant strategies for initiating change and methods of unfreezing and refreezing.
4. Propose how you would respond to the nursing unit manager of the medical ward who expressed the comments in the last paragraph – your exact words are required.
5. Predict your chance (as a percentage) of implementing successful change in this organisation in the next two years and justify why. CASE STUDY B You have recently been appointed (in a voluntary capacity) to lead the medical services in a
volunteer organisation which provides first aid services at a range of sporting events. The position has been vacant for two years and perhaps as a consequence, medical staff numbers have fallen, there are very few policies to guide the volunteers and virtually all protocols have not been updated for over ten years.
The director responsible for all volunteers is and has been running the organisation to suit his own needs, which at times are in conflict with accepted medical practice. The administration of drugs during cardiac arrest procedures by medical officers, for example, has been discouraged because lay members of the organisation are unable to participate in this activity. He has often described the medical staff as being ‘elitist’ and ‘arrogant’ and does not like it when they try to ‘bamboozle him with scientific information’.
Despite being committed to assisting injured players at sporting events, morale is low amongst the medical staff volunteers who are now looking to you for leadership in this organisation. The organisation is well established and hierarchical. There are over 2000 volunteers of whom less than 100 are medical staff and there are approximately 150 nurses. A range of commercial providers is increasingly competing for contracts that your organisation has traditionally held.
Questions to be answered (maximum of 750 words): Determine the difficulties facing this organisation. Determine the challenges you face in this leadership role. Justify how you would proceed in your new leadership role. Predict your chance (as a percentage) of implementing successful change in this organisation in 
the next two years and justify why.
