Chapter Question
How does an organization combine its mission and vision with its environmental analyses to
develop a strategic plan? Provide a specific example not listed in the textbook of a company or
organization in healthcare that
has combined its mission and vision to develop a strategic plan.
Any healthcare organization or business's mission is to increase revenue and satisfy their
customers or patients needs. With an environmental analysis and full understanding of their
capabilities, a healthcare organization can use this data to achieve and align their goals within
their means. Creating goals that have too high of a standard is not very strategic or even
obtainable. A strategic plan cannot be executed without adequate resources. Environmental
analysis and data contains measures like financial or portfolio information, human resources,
patient information, physician information and other performance-based data. The most efficient
tool is a SWOT Analysis, which highlights the internal and external strengths and weaknesses.
Stakeholders mainly focus on the Executive Summary, which aligns with the mission statement,
because this information highlights the overall plan and purpose. Realistically, if you wanted to
bake a cake and had no flour or sugar, how would you make a cake? You have to create a
strategic plan to travel, fund and make these purchases, especially, if you do not have the
necessary ingredients.
The example of a healthcare organization combining their mission statement with their
environmental analysis would be Baptist Health. They are a faith-based, mission-driven and not-
for-profit healthcare organization that promotes equality and charity care. They are located
across-state and offer free healthcare screenings with compassion. Within their capabilities, they
also educate overall wellness and preventative care through dozens of complementary programs
and Youtube videos to serve the community.
