Need of a Strategic Plan I was asked by the Board of Directors to implement a strategic plan for Countryside Nursing Facility. At present, the organization has never implemented nor had a strategic plan set forth for their facility. It will be my intention to show management and all employees the strategy that can be set forth for their organization with smooth implementations to secure a better future for the organization with the help of all interested parties. Approaching a successful strategy plan during times of change, process considerations, applicable methodologies, and special issues facing various types of healthcare issues can be complicated especially if the organization has never had one. With all of the chaos now surrounding healthcare reform, you already have intensified competition, unstable economies, regulatory changes and the most important, public trust with which your organization is looking for long-term success. Inadequate or no planning could result in the closure of the organization. Real-life case studies can show the plan in strategic action. Outlining the steps for strategic planning in a changing environment will allow you to provide advice on how to analyze the organizations internal and external environment to identify the strategic direction in which your company will need to go for continued success. (Sheahan) The strategic plan remains an important factor being used frequently by management. It can help the organization amidst chaos to position the company for long-term success. Since there has never been a plan set in motion for this organization, we will need organizational design that will encompass the goals for the strategic plan.
