will research a cost control policy that is in effect at your organization or one that you research. In doing so, you will detail the impact this policy has on the organization, its unintended consequences, and a possible alternative.

All healthcare organizations must be aware of cost controls, regardless of nonprofit or for-profit status. Managing costs at all levels of the organization affects the bottom line, which has a direct effect on all aspects of the organization. This assessment is designed to help you analyze why organizational policies are put in place. In addition, it will help you understand the role of operations in a healthcare setting, which is to ensure a high quality of care is maintained across all departments.

Find a policy at a healthcare organization related to cost controls. Include the following in your paper/presentation.

Summarize the details of the policy:
o When was the policy put in place?
o Was it adopted system-wide, in one department, or multiple departments?
o What does the policy address?
o What is the potential impact of not following the policy at the organizational level? Unit level? Individual level?

Explain how the policy impacts fiscal aspects of the organization:
o How does the policy act as a cost control?

Describe how the policy impacts the quality of patient care:
o Does the policy improve efficiency?
o Are the goals to improve care and reduce costs?

Explore the unintended consequences:
o What secondary impacts does the policy have on the organization? Unit? Staff? Patient?
o Does the policy need revision?

Suggest alternatives to the policy:
o In your opinion, is the policy the best way to address the issue? Support your position by explaining why or why not.

Cite at least 3 evidence-based, peer-reviewed sources published within the last 5 years to support your position(s).

Note: Students who do not work at a facility can research a policy related to cost controls by locating a facility and conducting an interview “virtually” (e.g., via Zoom or by phone), or the student could research a facility’s policies without conducting an interview.

Research and choose a specific healthcare organization for your marketing plan. You could select the organization your currently work for, one you are familiar with, or one you would like to work for in the future. After selecting your HCO, conduct research online to locate the organization’s strategic plan and read its vision, mission, and values statements. Add the term strategic plan after the HCO’s name in the search engine box (e.g., Sharp Healthcare strategic plan) to narrow your search results.
In your assignment

State your choice of HCO and explain why it interests you.
State the organization’s vision, mission, and values statements
Discuss whether the organization’s purpose and priorities are clearly defined
Discuss whether the mission statement clearly separates the HCO from competing organizations.
Include any ideas you have at this point for improving the mission statement in terms of aligning the HCO’s stated priorities with its products and services.
Discuss whether the current vision statement correctly describes the HCO’s path as it implements the strategic plan.
Could the current vision statement be utilized to motivate the organization’s workforce?
If not, how would you reword the vision statement to better reflect high ideals and aspirations to fulfill the HCO’s strategic plan?
Discuss whether the current values statement takes into consideration the values of multiple participants such as the community, employees, shareholders, and customers.
How would you reword the current value statement to better reflect priorities found within the HCO’s strategic plan?
