Health Medical Homework Help

The Signature Assignment is designed as a final project capping off your learning and comprehension of the course.

Using the concepts and framework of strategic planning and management, you will perform an environmental analysis, assess strategic priorities, and develop appropriate strategies and an action plan for a healthcare organization.

Strategy is about making choices and evaluating trade-offs. Healthcare organizations operate in a very diverse environment, serving culturally diverse customers/patients and employing just as culturally diverse a workforce. What is “right” for one organization may not be right for another. Making the “right” choices and trade-offs is a challenge that healthcare administrators routinely have to undertake.

The final product of the Signature Assignment is a strategic plan with an executive summary, environmental analysis, strategic goals, objectives, measurements, and an action plan. There are three (3) parts of the Signature Assignment:
