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 risen 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 it’s
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.
