health Policy and Management's assignment

Select a specific organization (nonprofit or healthcare). Assume that you are a department manager within this organization, and answer the following questions:

1. Write a mission statement for the organization, concise yet appropriately descriptive of why the organization exists.

2. Consistent with the organization's mission as expressed in this mission statement, develop a statement of philosophy for your department.

3. Write one major policy that supports this philosophy.

4. Write two or three specific procedures that express aspects of the policy from Question 3 as instructions for action (keeping in mind that a policy is ordinarily a statement of what is to be done, and a procedure consists of how it should be done).
