Healthcare Organization Strategic Planning Approach Solution

Introduction
Strategic planning helps healthcare organizations to take cognizance of key stakeholder needs to develop mission, vision and value statements using stakeholder input to manage risk and set their strategy going forward.

1. Identify all of the stakeholders that are involved and impacted by the organization.
What are healthcare stakeholders? - Those individuals or groups with a stake in the healthcare organization (HO) and who influence its success (Wiseman et.al 2016). These may include the following:
1.1. Providers-accuracy of diagnosis, appropriateness of therapy, resulting health outcome. Providers want to provide the best service using the most accurate and newest tests and treatments (also likely most expensive). They also want to provide preventative care which the insurance company (payer) may not cover.
1.2. Payers-Focus on cost-effectiveness. Payers want providers to follow clear, evidence based, diagnostic plan and reach an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan with the fewest visits and least number of tests.
1.3. Employers-Want both to keep their costs down, and to get their employees back to work quickly. Employers want to maintain or lower their cost contribution. They want the patient/employee to seek only needed care, follow providers' instructions, and recover quickly to full utility. Patients should also seek to reduce their health risk behaviours, i.e. diet, exercise and smoking cessation.

In strategic planning, Key stakeholder expectations and needs are incorporated into the statements that make up the organizations' strategy i.e. mission, vision, and values which map out its purpose, its future aspirations and values and how it aims to perform.
2. Differentiate internal from external stakeholders, and evaluate the relationship between the organizational mission and vision for each stakeholder group based on strategic planning components.

2.1. External Stakeholders-Those individuals that can influence the organization but the organization cannot in turn influence them(Perera 2012) examples are:
2.1.1. Clients-Those who benefit from the services of the healthcare organization. They may be segregated by demographics, socioeconomic factors. The mission should clearly state what clients can expect(Want compassion as well as skill with clear communication) and the vision(should state the future capacity)
2.1.2. Competitors-Those that compete for business with the HO. The mission should state ...
