STRATEGIC PROCESS FRAMEWORK 2

Proposed Initiative and Overview of the Organization

Homebound patients experience a variety of different medical problems. Mobility, social participation, and independence may all be restricted as a result of these conditions. Patients may experience an inability to leave the home, hence requiring home visits from the medical team. As a result, patients experience feelings of loneliness, isolation, helplessness, and hopelessness. These feelings often lead to suicidal thoughts or in some cases, completion of suicide.

According to Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (2022), A Home Health Agency (HHA) is an agency or organization which is primarily engaged in providing skilled nursing services and other therapeutic services. Home health care is provided to patients by nurses, therapists and other medical personnel. Once a patient is admitted to this setting, a depression screening is done at admission and will be done every 90 days for recertification to determine validation of continued services.

My proposed initiative addresses the need to screen the patients more frequently. This initiative requires patients be screened for suicidal thoughts/risk every week during the nursing visit instead of at recertification in order to refer patients to a behavioral health treatment team in a timely manner.

Formulation

Organization Mission, Vision, and Values

Mission: To improve quality of life, provide services and support that allow our clients to remain as independent as possible in their homes or residences while enabling a quality of life for our clients and their families which cannot be achieved on their own.

Vision Statement: The organizations will be viewed by clients and families, by healthcare partners, by community partners and by senior living communities as the standard for quality home care services in the area. The organization will continue to invest in technology, programs and personnel which will help meet the challenges of change that lie ahead in caring for our senior population. The organization will maintain a solid financial picture enabling the organization to invest in its employees, making this organization a preferred place to work and serve.

Organizational Values.

Respect: The organization celebrates the uniqueness of every person, values everyone’s unique contribution, and as such, treats everyone with the highest level of personal and professional courtesy, consideration, and care. Overall, there is an emphasis on kindness as this is the greatest component of respect. This is achieved by recognizing that people are different, and each has their unique perspective. No perspective is less important than another. Everyone is important and should be treated with the utmost respect as this will create a sense of belonging to everyone.

Truthfulness: Relationships are honest, authentic, and open. We pride ourselves on the fact that we keep our commitments. Our word is our promise. Truthfulness is an important value in healthcare considering the kind of services offered.

Teamwork: Teamwork refers to putting efforts together to achieve a common goal. The combined efforts of all members will help to achieve the mission and vision of the organization.

Innovation: Innovation is a mindset. We work to stay future-focused and committed to bringing new ideas to life that generate differentiated value for everyone.

Strategic Issues, Goals, and Strategies

Strategic Issue: Improving Education

Goal: To improve the knowledge and assessment skills of healthcare service providers. There will be periodic continuing education about mental health and suicidal risk assessment. A combination of these strategies will ensure the professionals get additional skills and knowledge that will enable them to deliver better services and referrals.

Strategic Issue: Conduct Research

Goal: To understand depressive symptoms, mental health problems and discover better ways to treat them.

Strategies: Suicide is a major public health problem and a cause of premature mortality. With a view to prevention, a great deal of research has been devoted to the determinants of suicide, focusing mostly on individual risk factors, particularly depression (Tegeler et al., 2020).

Studies will be conducted on mental health diagnosis and safety issues. Research will be carried out to make sure common issues with homebound patients are understood and this will make it easier to deal with the problems.

Strategic Issue: Improve patient self-awareness.

Goal: To teach relaxation techniques and ways to reduce stress, teach patients positive self-affirmation.

Strategies: The organization will achieve this by encouraging professionals to be creative and innovative. Videos, exercises and apps that teach these techniques will be provided to nurses. This will enable them to come up with better ways to provide healthcare services to patients. Efficiency and effectiveness are essential as far as strategic improvements are concerned.

Operationalizing

The following chart is a demonstration of the tactics required to back the strategic planning of homebound patients. The budget for each item is included in the chart as well as the time expected for every tactic to be completed. The table provides a summary of the resources needed in operationalizing the strategic plan.

Tactic	Owner	Cost and Timing	Completed By:	Quarterly Status Update
Improve Education	Human Resource officer	Cost: $10,000 Timing: 1 year	July 3rd, 2024	An assessment of elements learned
Conduct Research	Research and development department	Cost: $500 Timing: 9 months	April 3rd, 2024	Communication about the extent of the research
Improve Patient’s self-awareness	Supervisors	Cost: $1000 Timing: 12 months	July 3rd, 2024	Assessment of the efficiency and effectiveness of new tactics

Execution

The achievement of the strategic plan requires input from different stakeholders and relevant resources should be provided in the right quantities. For every tactic in the strategic plan, there will be an internal memo that will be addressed to all stakeholders. Communication is a key issue in strategic planning as it directly influences the chances of success (Shneyder, 2022). Stakeholders will also be equipped with resources and any other tools and equipment that they need to get the work done. There will also be motivation in different ways, such as allowances and bonuses. These are important incentives as they will encourage the stakeholders to take part in the process.

The chief operating officer of the organization will be accountable for ensuring that everything is executed according to plan. To achieve this, he needs the support of other stakeholders that will head different parts of the strategic plan. For a strategic plan to be successful, each stakeholder needs to play their role effectively. One of the most important stakeholders, in this case, is the human resources manager. This officer will make sure that proper education is provided to employees so that they are equipped with the relevant skills and knowledge required in the organization. The research and development officer will be tasked with the responsibility of ensuring that all research processes are carried out effectively. They will give an account of the research process and ensure that resources are also used effectively. Lastly, supervisors will oversee all operations that are intended to improve the healthcare of homebound patients.

Monitoring

Monitoring is an important aspect of strategic planning as it helps stakeholders to keep track of their performance (Martin, 2018). It also enables the management team to understand the progress of the plan. One of the key performance indicators that will be used to monitor is the skills and knowledge of the nurses. With increased education, it is expected that they will be more knowledgeable. The discovery of new and better strategies to assess homebound patients will indicate that the strategic plan is headed in the right direction. Lastly, an increase in the quality of services will be an overall monitoring tool. This will be determined by the level of satisfaction of the patients.
