Intravalley Health Evolving Impact with Healthcare
Instructions
You have been hired as the vice president for operations for Intravalley Health. One of your first tasks is to educate the board of directors concerning the evolving nature of healthcare and how it impacts the health system.
Identify a professional or scholarly journal article that addresses issues addressing/analyzing group one from a managerial perspective.
Group 1. Change management, conflict resolution, strategic communication, preparedness, or crisis management in healthcare.
Access, review, and integrate the findings of the journal article into an 8–10-page analysis of your topic. Your exploration should include the background of the issue, relevant laws and regulations, and strategic and operational impacts on health services organizations.
The board of directors consists of preeminent social scientists; therefore, your report should be delivered in APA format, including an abstract and references. The page count pertains to the body of the paper only.
Some administrative notes:
· There is a tendency to default to a hospital setting when considering issues in healthcare. You can examine other sectors, such as long-term care, palliative care, retail clinics, or community health centers. Make sure to position your paper from a managerial perspective.
· The research’s depth is expected to go beyond your studies in the core courses (MSM students) or HCAD 600 (MSHCA students). Please review the policy for re-use of prior course work – even if it is your own.
· To provide a comprehensive assessment, other scholarly sources should support the selected journal article (or refute it).
· As you know from your Library Skills course, sources such as Time, Forbes, the Washington Post, and other newspapers, while often helpful information resources, would not be appropriate for this paper. As a general guideline, if you can find help at a magazine stand, it probably is not a professional journal. The articles you choose should be recent (last five years) and primary rather than secondary. (Please see the APA manual if you do not recall the difference.)
