HA 454 - Strategic Planning in Healthcare Organizations

This course will provide you with the basic elements of a strategic planning and implementation process.  It takes a step-by-step approach to outline a planning process that could be applied in a variety of health care settings.  The process is targeted at an organization-wide planning process, but many of the elements could be applied to a department or division within a larger organizational structure as long as the overall organization’s priorities and direction are considered.  A primary purpose of strategic planning is to create alignment throughout an organization. Strategic planning is not an event it is an ongoing approach to management.

HA 454 uses a series of templates to develop a mock strategic plan for a case study healthcare organization. The case study will be chosen by the individual student based on professional interests.
