Hello Class,
Stakeholders are important in the healthcare industry.
Healthcare organization stakeholders can be internal or external to an organization. They are interested in the success or failure of a project or business and may support or resist changes (UNC School of Medicine, 2023). The internal key stakeholders for the Acme Medical Center project include board members, physicians, nurses, technicians, ancillary services staff, and all other staff members, volunteers, and donors. The external key stakeholders include patients and family members, non-profit organizations in the community, and health insurers.
Many research tools can be utilized to help determine the geography and local, economic, political, and other characteristics of the community I selected for this project.
The U.S. Census Bureau, Colorado, and local government sites are good sources to obtain population demographics, the
Center for Disease Control to obtain health-related data and statistics, and other state and federal department sites to obtain additional information about the location or community.
In Teller County, obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure are the main health concerns (Geostat, 2019). Healthcare needs include weight management, preventive care, education, diabetes prevention or control, and high blood pressure management. With the establishment of AMC in Cripple Creek, patients no longer need to travel long distances
to get to the appropriate healthcare facility for their healthcare needs, as all of the services will be provided by AMC. References:
