Resource Management for Health Services Organization

Week 11 Final Project: Project & Resource Management for Health Services Organization.

Strategic Improvement

What is strategic improvement, and how is it related to overall management in HSOs?

As you have examined throughout this course, health care administrators face a very challenging task when managing the business needs and necessary operations to propel an HSO forward in the marketplace. Responding to both internal and external factors, health care administrators must consider the effects of implementing necessary projects or resources not only as a response to these factors but also to contribute to organizational sustainability. Thus, health care administrators must assess, evaluate, and execute those strategies that most align to the business needs required by the HSO.

This week, you examine strategic improvement as you develop evaluation plans for accountable care organizations (ACOs) for your Final Project. You consider implementation for ACOs as part of a process evaluation plan and reflect on how evaluation plans are related to the business strategies of ACOs.
