Organization Department

How should the organization's work be departmentalized?

Organization work should be departmentalized based on the functional structures. Functional structure is a type of departmentalization where the task depends on the common skills of different departments and the work tasks. This involves putting together the functions and people having common knowledge and sharing certain functions and procedures depending on their field of specializations. Functional departmentalization is advantageous as it increases expertise and efficiency as the work activities are done from a department having a group of people specializing in a given activity (Gerffrard, n.d).

How should work be divided among departments and individuals?

Work is divided among departments using the matrix structure. Matrix structure involves both functional and divisional forms of the organization to divide work among the different specialists (Gerffrard, n.d). The process involved here is first making a plan of action. This is followed by deciding the functional department where the work should fall under. After finding the appropriate department for work, roles are assigned to specific departments and individuals based on one's profession in relation to the work requirements. The step is followed by setting small, manageable goals, which are achieved by dividing big goals. Setting small milestones makes the work to be fun and fulfilling. Small goals should have a strict deadline as it helps to compel individuals to accomplish more on the work assigned. Once the work has been divided, a manager is selected to oversee all the activities.

How would you make sure that the work of various individuals and groups was effectively coordinated?

To effectively coordinate individuals and groups, integration has to be done in the organization. The first example of the integration mechanism for proper coordination is bureaucratic, which has a hierarchical communication system and command used for scheduling, regulations, and plans (Gerffrard, n.d). Through this, different groups in the organization can effectively communicate without losing connection and information between members. Secondly is the staff meetings where individuals meet either virtually or physically for the workshop discussions. During such a meeting, group members get a chance to come together and communicate how various tasks can be handled with effectiveness and efficiency. Through such meetings, the identified drawbacks are communicated and the solution implemented. However, a matrix method can be used where two integration methods are simultaneous. Even though the matrix integration mechanism is quite complex, it ensures effective coordination as the advantages of the two methods is put together for a common benefit.

Draw an organizational chart that you could use to describe the agency's design.

Organization charts are the most essential tools in organization as they give the chain of command on various divisions and how information is flowing. It gives an overview of how every decision of the organization interacts with other entities for mutual benefit (Gerffrard, n.d). The following is an agency design of the organization chart showing how the chain of command goes from the top to the bottom.

Access to medicine and affordable healthcare

Many people across the world face many challenges in accessing quality healthcare. This usually affects low income families who find it difficult to access medicine when they get sick. This leads to a lot of suffering and depression among these families. There are several reasons why I would focus on this medical issue instead of population. The first reason is to reduce pain and suffering. Many low income families who cannot get access to medicine suffer a lot. They go through pain which makes my heart sad. I don’t like hearing people suffer from things we can solve. That is why I intend to develop this human service program. The second reason is to reduce prolonged illness. Inability to get access to medicine and quality healthcare leads to prolonged illness (Baldoni, 2019). This means that patients from such low income families take too long to heal. This can lead to reduced production in the economy. This happens when the sick people don’t go to work because the sickness is taking too long to heal.

Another reason why I intend to develop this program is to prevent and reduce number of deaths. Having no access to essential medicines has led to numerous numbers of deaths in low income families. This brings pain to family members and friends after losing their loved ones. Some children are left orphaned or single parented which affects their lives negatively. It pains me to see innocent children left on their own struggling with life when we can help. That is why I feel it is important to support such families to get access to medicines so that they can stay with their loved ones in peace. In addition to this, women and men can be left widowed which can affect their lives negatively as well. It is very painful to lose your loved in a situation that can be prevented. Poverty has affected the administration of quality healthcare to people in many ways (Benjamin, 2018). These are the reasons why I intend to develop this program. The main point behind this is to become a blessing in another person’s life.

The main issues I plan to address in this program include the following. The first issue is holistic individual health. This is characterized by the treatment of the whole individual, taking into account social and mental factors, rather than just the symptoms of the disease. Another issue is high costs of medicines and lack of insurance coverage (Alexander, 2020). These issues go hand in hand. To be specific, they are the main reasons why individuals from low income families find it difficult to access medicines and quality health care. That is why I believe that if these issues are addressed and solved, these families will benefit and get access to medicines and quality health care.

The following are also healthcare needs that my program will address. They include mental, physical, sensory, emotional, developmental and behavioral needs that require good medical management, specialized services and effective healthcare interventions. These needs are very important in human life and that is why they are going to be taken seriously. I believe that if these issues I have raised in this program can be fixed, then millions of families will get solutions to their health problems.
