Week 1 Discussion Strategic Planning

Choose a healthcare organization and share its vision, mission and values statements. Complete a SWOT analysis after determining a problem statement specific to a department or organizational issue. Stick to the data that is relevant to this problem when completing your SWOT. Create 2-3 high level goals from your data analysis. Conclude your analysis. Support your work with resources appropriate for this problem and organization.

To support your work, use your course and textbook readings and also use the South University Online Library. As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.

Your initial posting should be addressed at 150-300 words. Submit your document to this Discussion Area by the due date assigned. Be sure to cite your sources using APA format.

Respond to your peers throughout the unit. Justify your answers with examples, research, and reasoning. Follow up posts need to be submitted by the end of the week.
