Some of the driving factors of reengineering of health care organizations are changing in technology such as instating the electronic medical records; another is competition such as acquisitions which has become evident in the environment. Most hospitals are now affiliated with some health network or system. (Yoder &Weiss, p. 141) Consumerism is also a factor driving reengineering. At this time Patients are more informed consumers, and they know they have choices on where to go for healthcare. Web sites such as (Health grades) and (www.hospitalcompere.hhs.gov) assist them in selecting the best option for their needs. (Yoder & Weiss, p. 139) Also changes in reimbursement regulations such as the Affordable care act factor in the reengineering of health care organization.

Then there is the Service-line Structures where one manager or executive for like services so you tend to report to multiple administrators. Whereas a Matrix is complex, its function and services are integrated, and management has to report to both the Functional and The Services- lines managers where Flat structures it places authority in the action level allowing the employee to make decisions at the time of the issue. Where Shared Governances is a hybrid structure, it includes a little bit of all the different types of structures, allowing nurses more autonomy in their practice and founded on professionalism as oppose to organizational hierarchy. (p. 146-150) I believe Shared Governance works best at my facility; it has grown so much that not one structure would work as a
A mission statement express the core purpose of an organization and its reason for existence. Mission statements are vital to an organization because they communicate and set the foundation of the purpose of their existence. They shape the attitudes and behaviors of the members of the organization and the perceptions of the public (Hess, 67).
Both, vision and mission statements provide purpose to organizations. Therefore, they should set the foundation for the strategic planning process. However, if and organizations strategic direction evolves, leaders should consider revising the organization’s mission and vision
An article discussing the importance of a mission statement states that a mission statements’ job is to outline the organization’s unique purpose and establish the basis of its values and traits, as well as describe the attitude that is to be expected of those a part of the organization. Furthermore, this philosophical foundation sets the “tone” for physical actions, meaning that the content of the mission statement can determine the behavior of personnel (Hitt & Ireland, 1992).
A mission statement should define the organization, why they exist, who they are serving, and what products and services they offer (Aguinis, 2013). Aguinis (2013) includes eight components for a good mission statement. These components are products or services offered, customers being served, benefits to their products or services, technology being used, growth and profitability, managerial philosophy, public image, and self-concept of business by the employees and stockholders (Aguisis, 2013).
The mission statement of an organization should clearly communicate the purpose and values of the organization. The statement should be clear, concise and memorable by every member of the organization, providing inspiration and direction. Failing to create an effect mission statement will distract employees and leave the customer unclear about the purpose of the organization. Conversely, a well-written statement provides employees a sense of direction, value, and
The current focus on new healthcare models is a reaction to long-standing concerns around quality, cost, and efficiency. Accountable Care Organizations model focus on integrated healthcare to promote accountability and improve outcomes for the health of a defined population. The goal of integrated healthcare is to ensure that patients, especially the chronically ill, get the right care at the right time, while avoiding unnecessary duplication of services and preventing medical errors (CMS, 2014). The following paper will analyze an ACO’s ability to change healthcare in the United States.
A mission statement is a powerful message that companies or organizations set to be the focus and reason behind why or how they manage things. They are used to help their potential members, employees, or buyers understand their passion. It is of great importance that the mission statement is upheld or it becomes ineffective. These statements are written differently, but they are used for the common objective. The mission statement at Spring Hill College is a well written statement that uses effective style, has a clear focus, and can be interpreted by a varying audience.
It is the reason why the organization exists. It is the duty of the board to ensure that the organization has a modern statement of what it is, represents, and does. The board also should periodically review the statement’s adequacy, accuracy, and viability. A mission focuses the organization and gives individuals the cause they are seeking.
The current mission, vision, and value statements are written very broadly to provide the five divisions within the company with an overall direction and strategy. Each division then interprets the strategy and goals to develop operational processes, procedures, tactics and plans to implement and achieve those goals.

...ieved. In essence, mission statements grow because they are nurtured by a strong sense of responsibility. The importance of nurturing relationships and managing them in an effective manner is paramount since organizations cannot develop in isolation but rather they develop and prosper when it enjoys cordial relationships with its stakeholders (Satterlee 2009).
A mission and vision statement is important in order for an educator to remain focused on what one will like to accomplish within the classroom. Without a mission and vision statement one will have a harder time accomplishing their personal goals as well as their goals for the students.
Due to the nature of the service HSOs provide to their clients, these organisations possess unique attributes which distinguishes them from other types of organisations such as commercial organisations. As a result, any changes to the status quo of these organisations cannot be predicted in the same way that similar change in commercial organisations does. Regardless of the change that occurs in these organisations, it is hard to determine how the clients, the ultimate beneficiaries; will not only interpret the change but also how the client will behave as a result of their interpretation. According to Professor Hillel Schimid, ‘‘of all the factors that are subject to change in an organisation, the human factor is considered the most difficult and complex change.’’ Despite their extensive knowledge and experience social workers and other professionals are often times surprised by the responses of their clients when interventions are implemented. Some of these clients revert to their prior behavioural patterns because of change, as a result of the counter-production many workers often tend to maintain the status quo and avoid dealing with the need to change or improve their client’s behaviour. However, workers must realise that this fear of change is not beneficial to clients in the long run, simply because the change whether technological or structural, should be an opportunity for workers to teach their clients how to accept changes and learn how to adapt to it through skills training. While it can be a daunting process of disrupting the status quo, it appears to me that some workers are more afraid of disrupting their own predictable work environments in order to maintain their routines, but never-the-less change is inevitable, ...
