Strategic planning defines the process by which an organization identifies their current as well as future human resource needs for an organization to meet its goals.

However, most organizations overlook the importance of this relationship thus failing to achieve its goals. In any organization, demand and supply are two important factors that determine the success of an organization. It is, therefore, imperative for organizations to estimate the demand requirements within the organization, in terms of labor, evaluate its size and sought supply requirements that are sufficient to meet the needs in demand. This is a connection with human resource management is essential for the good performance of an organization.

The organization currently chosen strategic planning model
Hillside, the health care organization, uses basic strategic planning model since it has no previous experience in strategic planning. This system bestows the process of decision making on the top management. This planning model involves the following processes: Identification of the mission statement, goals to be accomplished, approaches for implementation, and identification of specific action plans in implementing each strategy. In identifying the mission statement, the organization understands the purpose of the mission statement and establishes needs to be met. In order to meet the purpose and needs of the organization, the management develops goals that have to be accomplished to ensure the purpose of establishing the organization is met. There's need to develop strategies that the organization must seek to implement to ensure the overall objectives are met.
The organization’s current theoretical framework
The systems theory framework hypothesizes the structure or the organization as well as the performance of the heath care organization. This framework combines organizational theory, concepts of service delivery, clinical care and systematic evaluation of performance. This system is flexible to changes within health care. Healthcare professional are patient-focused rather than disease-oriented, and this facilitates the process of health care delivery to patients. The organization also encourages health education, population empowerment through health care programs and primary health care. This system is designed to optimize comprehensiveness, integration together with accessibility as far as health care provision is concerned. It also appreciates the structural components of the organization and primary health care system.
What is the role of your organization’s mission, vision, and values in relationship to its strategic plan?
Mission and vision statements are the most fundamental elements of an organization. These two statements form the core guides in the development of an organization's overall objectives. The strategic plans developed by the organization have their foundation laid by the mission and vision statements. An organization's mission statement is its statement of purpose. It forms the baseline for decision making within an organization. It targets the shareholders involved in the operation of the company (Neil, 2012). Shareholders, employees, and managers develop their strategic plans that align to the mission statement therefore facilitating the accomplishment of overall goals of the organization. Vision statements, on the other hand, provide more of directional perspective in the achievement of the mission statement. It is an important element in the development of overall strategic plans of an organization. The values are the behaviors and practices that foster the accomplishment of the vision and mission statements alongside the overall objectives of the organization.

The health organization uses a functional organizational structure whereby, the whole system is divided into different groups with clear separation of roles. The organizational structure comprises of departments managed by departmental heads. Examples of these departments include: financial, human resource, communication and marketing departments. However, central administration is responsible for making key decisions of the organization. Functional structure enhances efficiency in terms of performance since there’s coordination of stakeholders and clear separation of duties (Mohr, 1982). This structure supports the need for employees to perfect their skills and develop their careers. This is due to the specialization and division of roles embraced by this structure.
