HCA 459- Organizational Survival Strategies
This discussion has two options. Please choose either Option
A or Option B to respond to. Be sure to indicate within your post which option
you chose.
Option A: Hospitals frequently seek ways to ensure survival.
Sometimes an adversarial climate cannot be avoided when the action that is
being considered is controversial. For example, a hospital may seek to expand
its market reach by opening an inpatient drug treatment facility in a small
suburban township. The county where the township sits has seen a steady rise in
heroin addiction, as well as an increase in hepatitis cases. As a manager,
identify the three possible categories of clients within this new clientele
network. Give at least one example of a client for each category and explain
the reason for your decision.
Guided Response:
Review several of your classmates posts. Provide a
substantive response to at least two of your peers. Discuss the benefits of
expanding your network. What opportunities could this provide for your
organization?
Option
B: In this increasingly difficult economic environment, many
organizations have been forced to take drastic operational and systematic measures
to stay afloat and maintain their position within the community. If you were a
health care manager leading an organization in which its financial, political,
and/or social position was threatened, what survival strategies would you
employ? Please choose at least three strategies from your textbook to discuss
and thoroughly explain the rationale for your choices.
Guided Response: Review several of your classmates posts.
Provide a substantive response to at least two of your peers who chose different
strategies than you chose. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of their
strategy choices.
