Introduction
As a leader of a health organization, you will need to keep abreast of research and best practices in the field to create a culture within the organization that supports innovation, sustainability, and a drive to customer-focused results.
For this assessment, you will review all of the information from your analyses in the other assessments and prepare evidence-based recommendations for health care organizational improvement.
Assessment 5 will give you the opportunity to synthesize all of the feedback on the different assessments and give a presentation of a complete case study and recommendations as if you were presenting to the company’s leadership team.
Scenario
In the process of analyzing your selected health care organization, you have explored strategic initiatives, organizational structure, current trends in the industry, and creating an innovative culture. There will always be the expectation that you have considered relevant data, benchmark measures, current research, and best practices when leading a health care organization.
Now is the time to synthesize all of the information from your analyses and research to prepare recommendations to the leadership team in a report format. Be thinking of how you will share this information in a presentation to the leadership team in Assessment 5.
