Undertaking a task such as designing and developing a free clinic requires direction, support and research. Whether you have a formal or an informal process, the shape and course of the tasks associated with this long term project is driven by an assembled group of individuals referred to as the steering committee. A steering committee is a group of individuals that set the agenda and schedule for the formation of the non-profit and clinic. This committee may have anywhere from two to ten people on it, but for the sake of completing tasks, it is optimal to try to keep it under five people. Ideally, these committee members will be representatives from several disciplines. Look for individuals with a background or experience in accounting, law, fundraising, doctors/health care practitioners and business leaders. They will be able to utilize their network and experience to help you along the way as you encounter challenges. For example, your accountant might have experience with nonprofit organizations, as you will need to create a 501c3 organization for tax purposes. You will also need to know how to market your clinic, manage your finances and seek out potential donors. What’s your Vision? Before you begin to assemble your steering committee you need to make sure you have a vision. Your vision statement should be no more than three sentences in which you describe why you started the clinic in the first place and what you intend to accomplish as a result of starting the center. It should be inspirational and motivational in describing how you can uniquely fill the needs of some healthcare segment that you have identified. The steering committee can shape your vision which in turn will point you toward the informatio... ... middle of paper ... ... how to take appropriate action, but also take the opportunity to re-emphasize their essential active role. Share with them the tasks at hand and ensure buy-in by sharing the preliminary project plan. Communicate with them the vision and the scope of the project and ensure that they have continual access to the right information. Check to make sure that the members are clear about their role. Establishing these expectations is not easy nor is it obvious. There is a role that precedes the steering committee. That role is the role of the person (or the persons) who establishes the committee. This is where it starts - someone forms the committee. Someone, or some small team, will establish the Steering Committee and will create the rules, expectations, guidelines, etc…You start with the key people, and usually their job requires picking the rest of the team.

The key stakeholders for this system change, and to help implement the strategy on providing new patient navigators would be the financial director, chief nursing officer, floor nurses, the hospitalists, and a group of patients and their family. Identifying the key stakeholders is important because with providing new services to a health care facility this group of people will be responsible for accepting the strategy to put in place which includes adding a new job title, approving the salary and the number of people to be hired, on down to how each navigator will be trained and oriented. Although the patients and their may not have much choice in the beginnings of the process of the system change, they can have a say and impact on helping in figuring out the role, and where there are gaps in the care during stays at the hospital, as well as helping in the interview process.

After analyzing the Coastal Medical Center, it is apparent that the employees and staff have no conception of the mission, vision, and values of this health care facility.

If I was to become the CEO of a large health care organization, I would investigate and analyze all the information to determine what needs to be improved within the organization in order to make the best decision for the company. There are three major elements of quality: structure, process, and outcome”(Burns, Bradley, & Weiner, 2011, pg 251). One way to improve the quality of care in my organization is to be passionate and excited about the engagement of consumers. The patients need to be able to have access to the right information to educate themselves about their health care decisions. If they are active working with the physicians it can reduce emergency hospital visits and improve treatment and quality of life that is associated with different chronic diseases (Aulbach, 2015). As for my staff, I would ensure that they have all the equipment as well as the
In allowing them to have a voice, they will be able to offer feedback or contributions (positive or negative) that can be instrumental in some decision making. I will set the example by being a good role model, so that they will not only hear what they are expected to do, but also see. “We must become the change we want to see.” Mahatma Gandhi. In looking out for their well-being, I will let them know that they are appreciated and that I sincerely care. It will be very important for me to be a great communicator and keep them inform to satisfy their want and the feeling of being in on things within the organization. After all they are a vital part in the organization. To be kept in the dark will be so demoralizing to them. I will let them know about my open door policy so they can talk to me and I will take the time to listen not only to the words, but to the hidden message behind

In order to meet the deadline, each member’s role should be more defined, and the tasks should be assigned according to team members’ background and strengths.

The second goal will be used in organizational development in terms of teamwork. By the 1940s, behavioral scientists in the United States already were recognizing the value of teamwork according to Wesner (2010). “Teamwork and teambuilding are considered effective ways to improve organizational performance and development” (Wesner, 2010, p. 42).
