As a manager in Ford Rehabilitation centre, I have
encountered several challenges in both external environment
and internal environment that have greatly challenged the
increasing demands of my patients’ services as well as failure
of the reimbursements of funds by the insurance providers.
Environmental conditions normally affect human health in
varied means. Interactions between the environment and human
health usually lead to very complex ethical queries that are
related to health policy decisions. There are various factors in
the environment that can lead to risks and the same time
benefits. They include genetically modified plants,
nanotechnology, bio fuels and other technology. There is a body
of evidence that have emerged saying that environment can
affect the health of human being and at the same time human
health can have impact to the environment.
The external factors are factors in the environment that
cannot be controlled by an organization. There are several
external factors that affect many health organizations; these
factors include political conditions, government policies and
regulations, technological environment and social environment.
In my organization the two key external factors affecting my
company are the social environment and technological

2. environment. Social factors have developed challenge in the
Ford rehabilitation centre. This is because many patient
customers have varied and different types of beliefs which make
the relations in the health centre challenged. It have become
problematic to deal with some patients since it is difficult to
know the type of services they need based on where they have
come from. Various patients have diverse transformation in
attitude towards health care. The patients are however very
demanding in my organization because each one of them needs
to be handled differently based on community variations. In
order to curb this, as manager I have decided to implement
several programs that will promote cooperation between my
patients as well amendments that will bring in suitable services
to each patient. Implementation of this programs will enable
my organization to continue being indispensible and financially
stable despite the social challenges affecting the availability of
patients in the organization.
Another external factor in the environment that will have
a great impact in my company is technological environment.
Implementation of more advanced methods to serve my
customers is likely to improve patients’ attendance and this will
boost the company’ to remain financially solvent despite the
challenges. Use of medical technology is most efficient way to
bring the costs of medical services down. Based on my patients’
demands, they should now expect medical technology. I have
already set various platforms on how to implement it because
this will earn me a lot of income selling it and hence my
company will remain stable to contradict the challenges that are
likely to cause the collapse of the organization. This technology
will entice many patients due to advanced services such as
advanced heart disease care and fine care services. Use of
information systems in my organization is also likely to
improve the mode of services to the customers since it is fast
and manageable. Eventually this will be one of the milestones in
making our work and services as per customers’ demands.

3. There are various factors that leaders in various health
care organizations should apply so as to meet their objectives in
meeting the competitiveness of the organization. One of the
internal factors that the leaders should consider is the
knowledge. It will be crucial for them to heighten and develop
an awareness and knowledge about the health risks that are
likely to occur in future. The leaders should have a clear
understanding about the dangers that are likely to occur in
future which may tremendously affect the financial solvent of
their organizations. There is very limited evidence that states
that one’s shape or behavior is likely to be shaped by the
individual’s attitude or knowledge toward a particular disease.
This is one of the areas where leaders in health organizations
should be conversant with. It will enable meet their patients
needs as well as fulfill the demands generated. The leaders
should also try to compel more evidence on whether education
influences the human behavior consequently. It will be also
crucial for the leaders to understand that the knowledge of risk
factors of a certain disease is likely to determine the personal
risk in a more accurate manner. This will aid in determining the
perceptions in which one’s vulnerability of the infection is
determined. It has been proven that information alone especially
in rehabilitation centers is not likely to change the behavior of a
person. This means that the leaders ought to find more methods
and conduct a research which might favor their mode of
delivery to the patients’ demands. Raising the standards of
correcting misconceptions and the knowledge itself will be very
crucial as a strategic plan in which the leaders can begin to
cover themselves as well as make insuring their population.
This will promote inaction of humane and effective legislations.
Another key internal environmental factor that the
leaders should consider is the Life Adaption Skills. They should
learn that for an effective self regulation of one’s behavior,
there is a requirement of certain skills for self guidance as well

4. as self- motivation. Each leader should be aware that these
skills are very crucial in determining people’s social situations.
They form an integral part of risk reduction chances and they
are more likely to induce one to effectively resist risky
behavior. In return, such knowledge is likely to attract more
customers in the organization and despite the charges the
patient will be willing to pay since the services and the demand
they need most have been met. This will in return meet the
profits of the organization as targeted. Many leaders are still
not aware of factors necessary when discussing touchy matters
such as safe sex. Behavior is not easily changed by use of
limited skills but it requires the leaders to understand and
implement other abilities such as effective communication
skills, assertiveness skills as well as verbal tone abilities. This
will aid in bringing future competitiveness in diverse
organizations. Knowledge about such skills by the future
leaders will also create an environment in which the health care
of patients is met as per their expectations. An organization
with such services is likely to cause a stiff competition to those
which will be dragging behind still.
So as to maintain the financial solvent of an
organization, I would recommend a manger to implement a
strategy to improve access to Quality Health Care and Services.
This is a very crucial area of concentration because each
organization’s dream is to make profits and attract more
customers. So as to initiate this, the manager will be expected
to develop several platforms that will see the strategy come
true. The strategic plan will involve integration of public
health and primary care, expansion of oral health and behavioral
health services, promote innovative and cost efficient approach
as well as increase in outreach and enrollment into good health
care. This is a milestone in which the patients’ demands and
services are met. Other goals of this strategy will involve the
managers strengthening health systems and assurance of
medical home for those who are served. This will generate

5. quality health services by an organization.
Strategic management involves implementation as well as
formulation of objectives and initiatives by an organization’s
management. It is usually based on the resources considerations
after the assessment of the company’s internal and external
forces of environment which gives some organizations stiff
competition. On the other hand strategic thinking is defined as
the thinking that is normally applied by person so as to achieve
especially in an organization. It involves the generation and
application of unique business chances so as to generate a
competitive advantage in an organization. Strategic planning
involves the process by which managers in an organization
define direction and the same time make decisions on how to
allocate resources to conduct this strategic planning. Managing
the strategic momentum is one of the three elements of strategic
management. It usually involves decision-making processes and
evaluates the strategy ongoing. It mostly relies on new periodic
strategic plans as well as strategic thinking.
External factors normally occur outside the organization.
Despite this, external factors may have varied significance in
the organization based on growth as well as its long-term
sustainability. Several managers tend to ignore the external
factors without putting into considerations detrimental errors
they commit. A component that provides health care services
may also be regarded as an external factor. Such systems consist
of hospitals and healthcare organizations. As we all know health
centers compete for third-party payers, patients and physicians.
The significance of healthcare component is that organizations
are now able to compete for more patients and they do this by
offering better services and amenities to their customers. Based
on the technological environment, organizations which have
new medical discoveries and more developed technology are
likely to have more potential in recruiting knowledgeable
medical personnel. This will lead to improved health care

6. services and eventually development of an organization due to
increased number of patients who are enticed by staff members
who are likely to meet their needs fully
There are several factors that are associated with the
competitor service analysis that are meant to meet the needs for
the customers in the world of marketing. The analysis tries to
distinguish strategic objectives and thrust as well as define the
organization’s present and future strategies. The analysis also
helps organizations to understand competitor’s strengths and
weaknesses and give a layout on how to develop a strategy that
is likely to compete against the competitor. There are several
advantages of competitor analysis service. It is used by
organizations in improvement of product and service analysis.
For those organizations who want their products and services to
be first moving uses the competitor analysis to schedule the
products for competing brands. It also helps an organization to
separate itself and the services from the competitors.
Internal environment analysis helps the organizations in
meeting competitive and sustainable advantage. This analysis
helps managers to understand and distinguish the strength and
weaknesses of their organizations. It is also very crucial in
making useful strategic decisions of the company.
