Directional strategy

Write a directional strategies report (4-6 pages) that examines the alignment of a health care organization’s current directional strategies with its strategic goals. Include improvement recommendations that address gaps between where the organization is and where it wants to go.

Note: Each assessment in this course builds upon the work you have completed in previous assessments. Therefore, you must complete the assessments in the order in which they are presented.

In your previous assessments, you examined how today’s health care organizations prepare themselves for the present and the future through strategic management. Specifically, you analyzed how a health care organization’s external and internal environments affect its operations. You also performed a TOWS analysis to help a health care organization identify strategic objectives to drive and improve all aspects of the company.

The next step is to consider the directional pathways health care organizations take to achieve their strategic objectives. Creating a strategic vision for a health care organization involves developing or revising the organization’s mission, vision, and value statements. Here is a summary of these three directional strategies:

A mission statement captures the organization’s distinctive purpose or reason for being.

A vision statement creates a mental picture of what leaders want the organization to achieve when accomplishing its purpose or mission.

Value statements clarify how the organization will conduct its activities to achieve its mission and vision. They frequently reflect common morality and emphasize respect, integrity, trust, caring, and the pursuit of excellence.

In a first-in-class health care organization, these three directional strategies align with the company’s overarching goals. Once strategic leaders are confident the mission, vision, and values are well formulated, understood, and communicated, they then focus on the activities that will make the most progress toward accomplishing the organization’s mission and move it toward realizing its vision. These activities are called strategic goals.

This assessment provides an opportunity for you to create a directional strategies report. In this report, you will analyze the alignment of your health care organization’s current directional strategies (mission, vision, and value statements) with its strategic goals. You will make recommendations for improvement if you identify gaps between where your health care organization is and where it wants to go.

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:

Competency 1: Analyze organizational structure, design, culture, and climate in relation to environmental forces.

Analyze the effectiveness of a health care organization’s directional strategies.

Identify gaps between effective directional strategies and an organization’s existing directional strategies.

Competency 3: Recommend an organizational structure and design to optimize a strategic plan.

Analyze the alignment between a health care organization’s directional strategies and its strategic goals.

Propose changes to the organization’s directional strategies that improve alignment between the organization’s structure and strategic goals.

Competency 4: Communicate in a manner that is scholarly professional, and consistent with expectations for professionals in health care administration.

Write a clear, concise, well-organized, and professional directional strategies report that includes conclusions that are supported by relevant evidence.

Follow APA formatting and style guidelines for citations and references.

Note: Complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented.

Preparation

Use
Mission, Vision, and Values Analysis Questions [DOCX] to complete the assessment. The document identifies three questions about each directional strategy you need to consider as you are analyzing your organization’s fit with its directional strategy.

To prepare for the assessment, reexamine your TOWS matrix from Assessment 2, the analysis of your matrix, and the initial strategies you prepared as part of your draft strategic plan. Once you have reexamined your work, you will be ready to begin work on this assessment.

In addition, you may wish to review the assessment instructions and scoring guide to ensure that you understand the work you will be asked to complete.

Note: As you revise your writing, check out the resources listed on the Writing Center’s
Writing Support page.

Scenario

Your manager is pleased with the thorough and impressive work you have done to date. However, she notes that the TOWS matrix findings do not align with the organization’s directional strategies. The organization’s structure needs to align more closely with its strategic goals, so that the organization can be more efficient, competitive, and profitable. She asks for your help once again.

Her next task for you is to examine the organization’s current mission, vision, and value statements, and compare them to the TOWS matrix. She requests that you recommend revisions to the organization’s mission, vision, and value statements so that they more closely align with the organization’s strategic priorities.

Knowing your manager, you understand that she wants your directional strategies report to be insightful, substantive, and brief—all at the same time. You also know that your manager is a visual person. It will serve you well to include appropriate images and diagrams, such as your TOWS matrix, in your report to highlight key information.

Introduction

Telehealth uses digital information and communication technology to provide healthcare remotely. Technologies include computers, tablets, and smartphones technology at home. A nurse or other medical professional may provide Telehealth in outlying areas out of a clinic or mobile van (Qian et al., 2021). Telehealth is a tool that doctors may use to supplement or improve care. Telehealth organizations utilize telecommunications and digital communication technology to provide medicinal care, worker and patient schooling, health evidence facilities, and self-care. Animate film conferencing, smartphone apps, “save and forward” electronic broadcast, and RPM are all used in Telehealth. Digital involvement and follow-up may enhance patient quality of life and treatment outcomes. Telehealth may reduce the risk of infection and enhance patient evaluation. Healthcare expenses could be immediately reduced by Telehealth (Qian et al., 2021). Cut back on patient travel and transportation expenses. A telemedicine consultation could replace a hospital visit or stay. Numerous procedures and programs might be economical. Technology may make it easier for more people to access healthcare. Telehealth could enhance coordination, efficiency, and home care.

Telemedicine PESTEL Analysis

PESTEL, which emphasizes the market’s Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Environmental, and Legal environment, would be used to assess the external setting of the telehealth organization. In contrast, Porter’s Five Pressures would be used to assess the market’s competitiveness (DeSilva & Vaidya, 2021). PESTEL is an acronym for the market’s Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Environmental, and Legal environment. industry dynamics like the negotiating power of buyers and distributors, the risk posed by new participants, and replacements are highlighted to gain a better understanding of competition.

a) Political factors

The growth of the telehealth industry has been significantly influenced by several political factors, including the creation of institutions dedicated to innovation, the advancement of technological capabilities, and the cultivation of human resource capacity (DeSilva & Vaidya, 2021). In 1990, the government initiated a strategy with a duration of five years to promote submicron innovation. One component of this strategy was the development of submicron research labs.

b) Economic factors

The only significant financial challenge in the telehealth industry is not caused by demand and supply imbalances. The below-average prices and the market’s excess supply have created a concern for the providers’ cash flow. Economic turmoil may bring the industry’s production down to a lower standard (DeSilva & Vaidya, 2021). Increased output due to performance improvements may cause an economic downturn due to excess supply and weak demand, leading to the closure of businesses due to low profitability. Such may be the case if the supply exceeds the demand. Between 1991 and 2007, the market for telehealth services went through three economic crises due to an excessive supply and a lack of revenues (DeSilva & Vaidya, 2021). This hints that there is a high possibility of another one in the future.

c) Social factors

The government has primarily emphasized enhancing human funding through implementing training that increases resource knowledge (DeSilva & Vaidya, 2021). The fact that it is the only industry in the world to develop labour divisions fully is evidence that social measures have been taken to improve the market’s reputation and overall quality.

d) Technological factors

Because telehealth producers do not possess their technology, they are forced to rely on foreign technical partners, which results in the market still having technological challenges. The participation of the government in telehealth services is being undertaken to reduce this reliance (DeSilva & Vaidya, 2021). The fact that other countries governments cannot innovate is one of the limitations of this system.

e) Environmental factors

The rapid capacity expansion in the telehealth sector is evidence that the United States is an especially advantageous location for manufacturing related to Telehealth (DeSilva & Vaidya, 2021). This monitoring is made even more important by the area’s potential for industrial use.

f) Legal factors

The legal framework of the telehealth industry includes intellectual property rights and legal agreements, which carry with it both opportunities and challenges. If a company’s copyright (also known as intellectual property), handling, and inventions are all legally protected, then the company may be more reliable (DeSilva & Vaidya, 2021). The potential lack of interest in telemedicine on the part of Micron due to a legal contract is evidence of how highly valued legal contracts are in the telehealth industry.

Vision, purpose, and values represent the Telehealth organization’s directional initiatives.

The mission, vision, values, and objectives are all included in the directives. Using a network of volunteer medical professionals and innovative technology, Telehealth can deliver high-quality medical care to some of the world’s poorest and most medically underserved communities (Donner et al., 2021). Such helps to increase the local community’s capacity and provide essential health services. Because of the expansion of the Telehealth group, all residents of South Carolina will have access to medical care. Still, those who live in underserved and rural areas will benefit the most. It will advance trustworthy medical care centered on the patient and delivered promptly, in addition to research and education (Donner et al., 2021). The company will earn a good reputation for providing telehealth services that are collaborative, practical, and cost-effective.

Increasing the number of telehealth healthcare initiatives is one of the ways that service development works to expand access to medical care. Expanding access to Telehealth and mental health initiatives and services is one of the company’s primary focuses. The group also informs and educates members of the general public and healthcare professionals to boost Telehealth’s adoption (Donner et al., 2021). Cooperation between organizations that provide health care, education, and research helps make collaboration possible and strengthens existing relationships. The organization illustrates Telehealth’s advantages by presenting its work results. Through promotion and long-term sustainability, the organization demonstrates Telehealth’s positive effects on access, quality, and cost.

Competition Forces

One of the many components that go into the definition of Telehealth is providing medical care through the Internet. Professionals in the healthcare industry are researching different healthcare delivery models, seeking second opinions, and gathering evidence-based consumer information online (Rashvand & Hsiao, 2018). Patients use the Internet to educate themselves about healthy lifestyle choices, as evidenced by the frequency with which they visit their physicians. In light of the proliferation and variety of healthcare initiatives, it is essential to investigate the factors that contribute to the success of Telehealth and the forces that shape them.

The first step is to understand the traditional competitive forces present in all industries and how the Internet as a disruptive technology has affected these forces to understand the competitive forces present in any e-health endeavor. Accessibility, quality, and value are the three pillars on which modern telehealth companies are built (Rashvand & Hsiao, 2018). It is necessary to have a solid understanding of this value proposition for healthcare. Strategic management aims to achieve a “fit” between an organization and its environment, resulting in the highest possible level of performance. The organizational strategy and goals have to have technical support or enhancement (Rashvand & Hsiao, 2018). Such is especially true for companies actively operating in the twenty-first century, as the core operations and activities rely heavily on technology, information, and knowledge.

Telehealth organizations perform an in-depth market analysis before they formulate a plan. The Porter Five Forces model is useful. Microeconomic principles make up five of the fundamental drivers Porter has modelled as being responsible for explaining competitive laws and industry attractiveness (Rashvand & Hsiao, 2018). When a new competitor enters the market, it initially threatens the market share held by established companies. Second, a replacement could take customers away from a company’s goods or services. Third, compared to businesses, buyers’ or buyer groups’ power lies in their ability to negotiate better prices. Fourth, the ability of suppliers to bargain is determined by the strength of their position compared to other companies in the industry.

Lastly, the current competition considers the relative positions of the major competitors and their market shares. By affecting prices, costs, and capital investment, the potency of these five forces determines Telehealth’s attractiveness and potential for superior financial performance (Rashvand & Hsiao, 2018). After conducting a comprehensive analysis of the market, the company may conclude that one generic strategy makes the most sense for the company and allows it to utilize the majority of its core competencies in the context in which it currently operates.

Mission, Vision, and Values Analysis Questions

Mission

As you consider the alignment of your organization’s mission with its strategic goals, you are trying to determine whether its current mission statement is the best way to define the organization’s goals and operational direction “right now.” These three questions about mission will help you discover whether the organization’s mission is a
fit with its current strategic goals.

Why does your organization do what it does? Answering this question helps provide the big picture ideals and values your organization brings to its customers.

Whom do you serve? This question helps you determine how your organization influences or helps others.

What image do you want to project? The mission statement needs to represent the organization’s deeply held values,
and the image the organization wants to project to others. What value does your organization bring to the table that no other organization does? What is the organization’s culture? Is it fresh and innovative, or traditional and reliable? Does the organization’s brand boast a fun, irreverent quality, or more of a dignified gravitas? The best mission statements clearly answer these questions.

Vision

As you consider the alignment of your organization’s vision with its strategic goals, you are trying to determine whether the vision serves as the organization’s “north star.” Is it providing focus and long-term alignment? The best organizational vision statements answer these three questions:

Time horizon: By what specific date will your organization achieve its strategy and vision? Usually this is within three to five years.

Measurability: What are the few measurable goals for which achievement can be objectively assessed?
Remember: These goals should align with the strategies you developed as part of your draft strategic plan in Assessment 2.

Unique Approach: What is the succinct statement that reflects
how your organization will effectively deliver its services, meet the needs of its customers, and achieve its vision?

Value Statements

Company value statements are designed to look introspectively into the organization’s long-term aspirations. Consider these three questions as you consider potential revisions to your organization’s value statements:

What do perfect employees look like? Think about the values they hold. What is their preferred work style? Independent? Or team-based? What is their attitude toward customers?

Will employees adhere to these values in 25 years? Selecting sustainable values is critical to long-term organizational success. Value statements can change over time, but core values remain constant.

How does your company help employees grow? Providing support to help your people grow personally
and professionally is vital to maintaining an engaged and motivated workforce. After all, this is the workforce that will uphold the organizational values that have been set.

Weaknesses	Strength
· Lack of sufficient human resource in the organization to provide services to clients. · Poor hiring and recruitment information system which hinder the organization to access highly talented potential employees. · Lack of competent training and development program for the employees to enhance their skills and knowledge. · Poor marketing strategies that have left the organization unknown in the region hence reducing its market share.	· Large capital base that has enabled the organization to acquire state-of-the-art medical equipment. · Competent organizational leadership and management teams that have created conducive working and care environment. · Reduced medical errors and provision of quality care due to high level of employee training and use of high-tech equipment. · Implementation of technology based information communication system that enhance communication in the organization. · Sufficient healthcare professionals that are highly skilled and trained in the organization who enables the organization to provide quality care.

Analysis

The company is facing competition from other techno-based healthcare organizations in the area. This may reduce the profitability of the organization. It is important that the organization develop strategic competitive goals on which it will base its operations to ensure that it becomes competitive enough in the industry (Dimitrova & Desev, 2018). There is low level growth and development programs for the human capital in in the organization leading inadequate exposure. The organization need to embrace the advantages that emanate from training and development program to effectively motivate its employees and reduce threats of employee turnover (Asari et al., 2022). The organization face the threat of losing its employees to competitors of they are not motivated through training and development programs.

Lack of R & D programs in the organization resulting to low level of innovation. Any organization that does not have a well-developed research and development program is likely to grow at a snail pace. Therefore, the company faces a threat of being overtaken by its competitors if it does not enhance its creativity or innovation through research and development programs (Dimitrova & Desev, 2018). Low level of innovation may retard organizational growth. Lack of innovation is a huge threat to the existence of the company. The company needs to invest in innovation to ensure that it crate new technology and equipment that will foster its competitiveness. The increasing level of legal environment may expose human resources to liabilities. The company faces a threat of copyright manipulation which may see it lose its resources. The organization therefore needs to train its workforce on the prevailing legal requirements to ensure that they do not violate the established laws and professional regulations (Asari et al., 2022). Implementing the above will reduce the threats that the organization is exposed to in the process.

All organizations are exposed to different opportunities which they have to grab in order to be competitive enough in the market or industry. Based on the TOWS analysis, telehealth organization is exposed to many opportunities including embracing high level of technology that is exposed to attain its goals (Datta et al., 2020). Technology is at the center of successful operations in the organizations today. The organization stands a chance not only to be competitive enough in the industry but also achieve its goals if it embraces technology.

The company should take advantage of the changing legal environment that allows the organization to safeguard its intellectual property rights from copyright manipulation. Healthcare organizations are known to be innovative and produce intellectual properties that need to be safeguarded (Datta et al., 2020). For this reason, the company has the opportunity to protect its intellectual properties if it implements policies based on established copyright laws. This will ensure that it does not lose its innovations and also enhance its creativity in the future. The company should also invest its large capital that the organization has into high-tech medical equipment. This is important as quality care is accompanied with high quality equipment. This will also enhance provision of quality care. The main goal of the organization is to reduce medical errors, increase the safety of the patients and employees (Datta et al., 2020). This can be done by investing in techno-based equipment. Investing in advertisement and promotion will help the company enhance its brand awareness in the area. It is important for the organization to create its brand awareness so as to increase its market share. Telehealth will be able to achieve this if it will invest in advertisement and promotion.

TOWS matrix indicates that the company faces a lot of weaknesses which are making the group less competitive in the industry. As such, the company has to work tom eliminate the weaknesses by capitalizing on its strengths to become more competitive (Dimitrova & Desev, 2018). The group faces a lot of weaknesses including lack of sufficient human resource in the organization to provide services to clients. Human resource is the backbone of any organizational success. However, the group is experiencing many human resource deficits which limit the quality of care provided to the patients (Asari et al., 2022). Again, it is evident from the analysis that the organization has poor hiring and recruitment information system which hinder the organization to access highly talented potential employees.

Healthcare organization can only be competitive enough if they have competent and highly talented employees. This can only be achieved if the company has a competent hiring and recruitment information system (Datta et al., 2020). Therefore, the organization needs to implement and elaborate hiring and recruitment information system so that it can reach as many potential employees in the market as possible. Poor recruitment and hiring system limits the company to the number of highly talented candidates in the market. Lack of competent training and development program for the employees to enhance their skills and knowledge. This is a devastating weakness as it makes employees less competent (Dimitrova & Desev, 2018). Training and development is important for any employees as it enhance the chances of retaining the employee. Poor marketing strategies that have left the organization unknown in the region hence reducing its market share. Telehealth organization is also seen to have poor marketing programs which limit company awareness. The organization should therefore implement a robust marketing program to ensure that it reaches as many people as possible.

Just like other organization in the healthcare industry, telehealth enjoy some advantages which have given it competitive edge over other organizations in the market. The company has large capital base that has enabled the organization to acquire state-of-the-art medical equipment. Having high quality equipment and technology will help the organization to reduce medical errors, enhance patient and staff safety in the process (Datta et al., 2020). The organization has competent organizational leadership and management teams that have created conducive working and care environment. Good leaders are known to enhance the motivation and satisfaction of the staff. This in return translates to provision of quality care as employees are motivated and willing to work for the betterment of the organization.

The group enjoys high level of reduced medical errors and provision of quality care due to high level of employee training and use of high-tech equipment. Reduced medical errors are as a result of high quality equipment and effective communication systems in the organization. The group has implemented a competent information technology system which has enhanced communication among the stakeholders (Asari et al., 2022). The organization also has enough healthcare professionals that are highly skilled and trained in the organization who enable the organization to provide quality care. Effective training and development program enhances the skills land the knowledge of the employees hence reducing chances of mistakes during medical procedures.

Part 2: Strategic Plan

Analysis of Telehealth organization’s TOWS reveals many loopholes in the organizational operations which needs to be sealed. For this reason, the organization needs to implement a strategic plan that will allow it achieve its goals and objectives in the process. Firstly, the organization intends to reduce medical errors, increase staff and patient safety and reduce mistakes during medical procedures (Rashvand & Hsiao, 2018). For this reason, the company should implement effective information technology system in the next two months. Again, the organization should invest in high technology medical equipment to reduce errors and mistakes during medical procedures. Secondly, the organization should rollout an elaborate training and development program that will ensure that all healthcare professionals are trained in new skills and knowledge to reduce medical errors, increase patient and staff safety, and mitigate the problem of mistakes during medical procedures.

To reduce the problem of employee liabilities due to changing legal environment, the organization should identify the best EHR systems that can be implemented in the organization to enhance proper handling of patient records and avoid the possibility of violating the HIPAA laws while working with patient records. The organization should also training healthcare practitioners on the content of HIPAA laws and how to use EHR systems effectively. The intention of the organization is to enhance its contact with the community. In this way, the organization should implement programs that enhance delivery of health care services to the community so as to meet the needs of the people in the community (Donner et al., 2021). Again, the organization should conduct community health assessment into better understand health needs of the community and the illnesses that bedevils the people in the community. Finally, the organization needs to implement a robust and radical research and development program in the organization to enhance creativity and innovation. This will also enhance talent management of the employees in the process.

Given the nature of the organization, it is imperative that the company adopt a non-profit organizational structure. The vision and the mission of the organization are geared towards helping the people in the community for this reason, it is important that the organization is structured as a non-profit so that it can access the funding that it requires to fund the operations of the organizations (Donner et al., 2021). As a community based organization, telehealth organization will be able to access much funds from donors, the governments, well-wishers and other funders to achieve its objectives and goals. Functional structure will also enable the organization to achieve its objectives and goals because of its flexibility. By adopting functional structure, the organization will be able to adjust its operational budget based on available funds.

Given the planning components that are presented in this plan, the organization will need to allocate some financial expenditure that will be used to implement the programs and intended projects. The organization will spend more than $2000 to implement a training and development program that will enhance the skills and the knowledge of the medical practitioners. Again, the organization will use 12% of its annual budget to implement an EHR system that will ensure that patient records are well entered, kept and accessed. It is apparent from the analysis that the organization has to implement a digital hiring and recruitment program. In this perspective, the organization should spend 7% of its revenues to implement an information system that will help reach as many people in the labor market as possible during hiring and recruitment. It is clear from the analysis that the organization need to develop a research and development program. In this way, the company has to allocate 5% of its annual revenue towards research and development. This will ensure that the employees in the company become more productive and innovative enough.
