Health Care Leadership Problems Over Case Study

The idea with this part of the strategy is to be able to form some kind of a partnership with these individuals. This will help to push for a transformation inside the organization. As, these people will help to provide everyone with: a reason for adapting and pushing others to do so (indirectly). (Turner, 1999, pp. 162 -- 163)

Once this occurs, you could then have these individuals become a part of a committee. They will have the responsibility for making specific recommendations about how this can be implemented. This is important, because this will help everyone to realize that some kind of change is occurring inside the facility. Over the course of time, this will lead to shifts in the operating environment by giving people reason for embracing these changes. (Turner, 1999, pp. 162 -- 163)

The Effectiveness of the Plan

To determine the effectiveness of the plan the Human Resources department will conduct anonymous surveys every six months. They are interested in: the views of patients and employees about the facility. This will help to provide specific insights about: possible issues that could be affecting the hospital and ideas for dealing with them. (Kovnar, 2008, pp. 34 -- 61)

At the same time, there will be outside consultants posing as employees, who will carefully monitor the kinds of services that are being delivered. Where, they will also look for structural weaknesses inside the organization. This is important, because the findings from the consultants can be used to: corroborate and identify new changes that could be taking place. At which point, they can make specific recommendations about how to address the problems. If this kind of approach can be utilized, it will help California Hospital Medical Center to avoid the challenges that are affecting so many other hospitals around the country. This is the key in being able to mitigate these effects and begin redefining the organizational environment. (Kovnar, 2008, pp. 34 -- 61)

Clearly, charismatic leadership could have a major impact on the kinds of services that are being provided and the rising costs that are affecting California Hospital Medical Center. This is significant, because many of these issues are from a lack of leadership (which has lead to the different problems at the facility). If left unchecked, these various challenges will begin to slowly eat away at: the quality of care that is provided and the costs to operate the hospital. This is the point that the facility may be forced into bankruptcy. To avoid these kinds of situations requires that a new management structure is implemented. One possible strategy for achieving these objectives is through: the use of effective navigation, communication and forming alliances. You would then use various surveys and consultants to understand these issues. This will provide specific insights about: the underlying challenges and how they can be addressed.
