Evaluate an existing strategic initiative, or program (e.g., addition of a hospital wing, opening of a new location, closing of an existing branch) for an actual/real stand-alone hospital or other independent healthcare organization (you may select a hospital, large medical group, nursing home, or an ambulatory care facility) within your community.

Assume that you are the Director of Strategic Planning for this organization, and the CEO has assigned you the responsibility for assessing (1) where the program is in its life cycle and (2) making an informed decision as to the best way forward strategically; i.e., should the organization expand the program, continue the current strategy it employs, change certain aspects of operational strategy, fully maintain the program as is, merge the program with an existing one, or close the program? The summary of your assessment will be presented to the Board of Directors, CEO, COO, and CFO.

Write a paper that proposes the process you would implement for assessing this project.

The paper should include the following:

Executive Summary
Introduction:
A brief description of the current program.
Alignment with the organization’s mission, vision, and goals that support the project.
Assessment: An evaluation of various factors that affect the feasibility and project development.
Justification for the project via a robust assessment of the internal and external environment, using at least two tools discussed in our course; such as SWOT+PEST, Five Forces, BCG, etc.
Consideration of organizational restrictions and constraints, mission, vision, values, capabilities, strengths, and weaknesses.
Consideration of organizational issues, context, and multiple perspectives and dimensions are considered.
Implementation: Provide a summary of your recommendations and strategies for implementation.
Realistic strategies and tactics identified with sufficient detail.
Articulates the who, what, when, where, and why.
Considers organizational restrictions and constraints, mission, vision, values, capabilities, strengths, and weaknesses.
Relevant forces are adequately considered.
Program Evaluation: A brief discussion of how you will evaluate and benchmark the project post-implementation.
Specifies measures that would be tracked and trended post-implementation to ensure the action was effective and efficient.

 

 

Sample Solution

An example of a character conforming to such categorisations is in the first story in Angela Carter’s collection:‘The Bloody Chamber’, which is ‘more than twice the length of any other story in the collection’, proving its importance. On a surface level, the unnamed female conforms to both stereotypes of the traditional representation of femininity in gothic literature as a ‘trembling innocent’, due to her naive and virginal nature, and a ‘shameless harlot’ as a result of her desire for sex. This pressing excitement for sex is first shown through the line; she ‘felt [herself] stir’ in his presence. However, upon delving further into the text, it becomes obvious that the marquis is a predator, and she the prey, shown initially through Carter constantly referring to him as a lion/ ‘leonine’ with a ‘mane.’ This lion like imagery presents him as a dominant, untameable and extremely powerful beast, providing a stark contrast to the female’s body, which is compared to a ‘lamb chop’, thus quickly depicting her as powerless in this situation and over her sexuality. This imagery also insinuates the idea of a lion devouring a lamb, particularly since the phrase is cleverly placed after a reference to a ‘Rops’ etching, who was infamous for his erotic and borderline satanic themed artwork, which potentially foreshadows the sex between the two characters as predatorial, raw and objectifying. The visual imagery here enhances the girl’s vulnerability and proves the marquis’ control over her and her sexual appetite, as he ‘closed her legs like a book.’ From the female’s perspective, there is a crescendo to the moment in which they have sex, however, once they do it is clear the naive girl’s actions were fuelled by a fantasy, as a result of the society forcing young girls to believe that sex is a magical experience, predominantly to impregnate the bride and pleasure the man. Yet, Carter, exploring the ideas of second wave feminism, has no issue with illustrating the reality of the moment, comparing it to being ‘impaled, a term that alludes being wounded and hurt. Furthermore, Carter cleverly abuses the setting to further this attack on the patriarchy with the feature of the mirrors, a symbol for the male gaze, as ‘a dozen husbands impaled a dozen brides.’ Feminist writers use the symbol of the mirror to enhance the idea that whenever a female looks at herself in a mirror, she does so with masculine eyes, looking at things he would and altering her appearance for his pleasure; this makes it clear that her having sex with him is merely for his pleasure, not for hers. Moreover, the lack of name for the female character and the use of ‘dozen’ makes it obvious that this same situation happens t
