The discussion this week explores how organizational structure impacts the clinical microsystem.

In your initial post (Min 350 words) identify and explain the organizational structure of your current (or former) employer using the structures identified in Yoder-Wise CH 11 (Functional, Service-Line, Matrix, Flat, or Shared Governance). Next, identify and describe the clinical microsystem (unit) in which you work (e.g. pediatrics, ER, home care, hospice, etc.). Finally, review the Clinical Microsystem Assessment form, which describes five areas of excellence in clinical microsystems: CLINICAL MICROSYSTEM ASSESSMENT TOOL.pdf download

Which area of the assessment is the strongest and which area is the weakest in your unit/microsystem (Leadership, Staff, Patients, Performance, or Information & Information Technology)? Please explain your answers using specific examples. Discuss three ways the organizational structure you identified influences the strengths and weaknesses of your microsystem assessment. Based on the readings in this module, is there an organizational structure that could improve the performance of your clinical microsystem? If so, identify the structure and how it might improve the clinical microsystem’s performance. In addition to incorporating the readings assigned for this module, provide one peer-reviewed, current (within the last five years) article on microsystems to support your initial post.

In two response posts to classmates (min 250 words) provide additional feedback by identifying another (new) way that the organizational structure may be influenced by outside forces (economic, social, demographic or -perhaps the Coronavirus pandemic). How might these factors not only impact the structure of the organization, but also impact the clinical microsystem? In addition to the readings assigned for this module, provide one peer-reviewed, current (within the last five years) article on microsystems to support each response post. (A different article for each response.)
