#1) There are 3 key elements of an organizational strategy: strategic thinking, strategy formulation, and strategy implementation (Spath & Abraham, 2013). These steps would be relevant to the strategic mindset of an organization’s management team if their purposes are to aim at directing the pathway of the overall entire organization, having a long-term outlook to the future perspective of the company’s stakeholders and considering positive results of effort by many within the organization. Every organization is engaged in some current activities that are designed to create sales for delivery, distribution, clients and patients. I believe that basic strategy consist of both innate and learned traits. There are so many different components of being a fantastic leader and understanding the key elements of organizational strategy that in my own personal perspective it should be of the things learned mostly. It is important to challenge basic strategy and stretch the knowledge in order to be a more fantastic leader. “Strategic management is nothing less than steering and managing an HSO to be successful over time—not just for the next quarter or year, but for the long term. It involves deciding the direction in which the organization should go and what products and services the organization should offer” (Spath & Abraham, 2013). References: Spath, P. L., & Abraham, S. C. (2013). Strategic management in healthcare organizations. Ashford University: San Diego, CA. Juanell Seward |

The three elements of strategic management are strategic thinking, strategic formulation, and strategic implementation (Spath & Abraham, 2014). In strategic thinking is looking at where the hospital is and where it would like to be. There are times when the service line that has worked well in the past may not be working well today and that is where the hospital needs to look at other alternatives. It would look at what is going on in the community and what may be needed in the future. In strategic formulation is a look internally in the organization on what are the strengths and its weaknesses and looks at why. We are seeing many hospitals looking inward on what they can do to improve. many are looking at their internal processes to improve its patient scores, infection rates, wounds, and its readmission rates. Many are seeing that many processes need to be looked at and changed. In strategic implementation a hospital takes what it has learned and implements changes and monitors them for success. Implementing a new program can be difficult due to cost of the new process if it will need additional staff or create education hours to teach staff the new process. It will also need to be audited and data collected over time to see if the changes expected occurred or will there need to be adjusted. It is relevant to management that they are looking at improvements need to be done to keep the hospital doing well financially and that patients are receiving the best care.
I think that it is a learned trait. The process of strategic management is learned and the mindset you need is part of the person’s personality on how they would work to achieve the goals. You can teach a person how to look at data and see what service line is working and if it is not working. The implementation can also be taught by rolling out the new process, monitoring the compliance, and reviewing the changes occurring.

Resources and competencies are keys to implementing strategies. Resources encompass more physical items, such as finances, facility space, and equipment. (UTA, n.d.)Competencies are more intangible and specific to the people of the organization: skills and capabilities, attitudes, intuition, and creativity. (UTA, n.d.) Competitive advantage is simply defined as a “significant edge over competitors. (Spath & Abraham, 2013) The role of licensed health care providers can give an organization a competitive advantage by showing that they use industry respected best practices and are committed to ongoing professional development of their employees. (National Healthcare Workers Association, 2015) “Certification is also a vehicle for hospitals to distinguish themselves from competitors. It demonstrates to consumers that the organization attracts only the most skilled and experienced healthcare professionals.” (National Healthcare Workers Association, 2015) National Healthcare Workers Association. (2015). “Benefits of Certification” Retrieved from http://nationalhealthcareworkersassociation.com/benefits-of-certification/ Spath, P. L., & Abraham, S. C. (2013).
