HealthCareOrganizationalPlanning.docx
Select a specific health care organization and identify its mission statement and a current organizational initiative. As the leader of the HR department, you have been asked to deliver a presentation to the organization's executive team on the need to create a new team or department to staff the strategic initiative that is in alignment with the mission statement. Part of your presentation should provide the steps for budget approval and progress of the decision-making process. Include the following in your 10-12 slide presentation:
1. Describe the mission statement and strategic initiative for the health care organization you selected.
2. Explain the role of this organization's mission statement and strategic initiative (i.e., implementing an organization-wide technology adaptation within a 2-year period).
3. List all positions that would be a part of the new department or team.
4. Describe the appropriate wage for each position considering the local region of the health care organization selected. Explain how the individual wages must be budgeted for and what considerations will need to be included.
5. Describe the budgeting decisions and wage offerings needed to approve filling positions. Include team size and annual budget considerations.
6. If labor is 60% of the budget, discuss training, equipment, meeting areas, and other resources needed to become operational. Describe a few of the tools and techniques that could have been employed during the decision-making process.
Include a title slide and speaker notes. Ensure all references are in the speaker notes of the final “Questions” slide in as close to APA format as practical.

HOME CARE Scenario
Type of care provided
Scenario
Care in this capacity can range from a short-term to long-term based upon the changing needs of the patient. Patient age can range from pediatric to elderly. Care can be provided in the patient’s private home, group home, or assisted living setting. Medical homes fall into this category and are a new focus of Accountable Care Organizations through the Affordable Care Act of 2010.
What steps would you, as the Director of Human Resources, take to rectify this issue ($5.00/hr raise)?
Instruction In your capacity as the Director of Human Resources, develop a plan for how you would conduct an internal and external wage analysis of your organization and respond to the impact this would have on the organization.
As the Director of Human Resources within a home care environment, you are responsible for the ad- ministration of the organization’s labor budgets. Your Director of Clinical Services, who has a MSN, has presented some challenges regarding the compensation of her staff.
This specific assisted nursing facility focuses on long-term care, providing approximately 500 nursing and support personnel (83 RN's and 417 Caregivers/CNA's) who deliver direct and indirect care to approximately 225 patients representing various stages of acuity and need for nursing care. Your overall labor budget represents approximately 60% of expense revenue.
The Director of Clinical Service complains that several of her registered nurses are threatening to leave the organization, allegedly because a competitor nearby pays their nurses higher wages. In fact, Direc- tor of Clinical Service asks for an across-the-board immediate pay adjustment of an additional $5.00 an hour for the nurses. She is awaiting a response from you before the day is over.
