Course outcome(s) assessed/addressed in this Assignment:
HS230-5: Evaluate the principles of change management, staffing, and leadership
within the planning of human resources in a healthcare facility.
It is important to understand the requirements of the Affordable Care Act and how this
act will impact healthcare in this country. Imagine yourself as a hospital administrator
preparing a dynamic plan of action of how you will explain to all stakeholder groups both
inside and outside the hospital (employees and patients) about the requirements of the
Affordable Care Act and how your hospital will mobilize everyone to achieve the best
possible results to be in compliance with the act and try to achieve the best results
possible for the community, patients, and employees in the process. You will address all
invited stakeholders from inside the hospital and citizens and groups in the community
in a large meeting at the hospital where you will present your plan in a PowerPoint
Presentation at the meeting. Your plan will be to WOW! them with your great plan and
convince them to make your hospital their first hospital of choice.
Part 1: In the first part of your plan you need to study change management theories,
techniques and leadership styles needed to successfully undertake a change initiative.
Describe some ideas you would like to use to help make the communication and
deployment of the plan a success. You will evaluate the staffing levels, productivity, and
human resources needs and provide feedback to staff regarding how any new
requirements will affect their work in the hospital. You will need to explain the kind of
initial and on-going training programs you will provide them to help with the transition.
Part 2: In this part of your plan you will explain how you will market to all stakeholders
your dynamic plan of action. Explain how your hospital will be especially able to meet
the needs of the community better than all competitors to understand their rights and
benefits regarding the Affordable Care Act. You will describe how that response will
provide them with new and exciting benefits for their health and the public health of the
community in general.
