Editor's Notes

  1. It is very important for a healthcare organization to fully understand how to conduct an environmental assessment to support their planning process. Additionally, healthcare organizations must not downplay the importance of creating a mission statement, philosophy, values, and their goals and objectives.
  2. Goals and Objectives should follow the SMART Guidelines. You will have an opportunity to review an Orthopedic Product line which can be interchanged with other product lines such as robotic, bariatrics, or hyperbaric.
  3. Leaders must be visionary in their approach to strategic planning and ensure execution of the plan to be successful.
  4. The key in creating your vision is to ensure that your vision is actualized!
  5. Given all the changes facing health care, agility is key as well as the ability to thrive in chaos. Forward thinking/thinking out of the box is key as well as involving staff in the planning and execution process.
  6. The SWOT analysis should not overlooked. One must be very honest in their response to the SWOT analysis.
  7. It is imperative to ensure execution on the strategic plan. Hold staff accountable to goals and timelines. Adjust the plan as needed.
  8. In regard to the internal environment, it is important to understand what resources are available.
  9. An example of a mission statement that staff can remember is Healthcare Organization X is the best place to give care and the best place to get care…
  10. Objectives need to demonstrate what needs to be achieved and by when (timeline).
  11. A financial plan needs to be included along with capital requirements (capital is an item that costs over $5000).
  12. It is imperative that you include staff in the process. They are your frontline experts. They will get you where you need to go.
  13. There is nothing wrong with adjusting your plan. In this environment, the best strategic leader will be agile and will be able to anticipate needs.
  14. This is similar to our nursing process…
  15. Be honest in your assessment…
  16. Find your NICHE…and market it.
  17. Consider the creation of a Website, podcast, and blogs.
  18. You can conduct focus group with key stakeholders/clients--be brave and listen to the feedback--again adjust your plan and make changes as appropriate.
  19. Be open to constructive criticism.
  20. Ask your manager if you can see a copy of your organization’s strategic plan and or marketing plan. You should be informed about what your organization wants to achieve and how you participate!
