The Quadruple Aim

The Quadruple Aim provides broad categories of goals to pursue to maintain and improve healthcare. Within each goal are many issues that, if addressed successfully, may have a positive impact on outcomes. For example, healthcare leaders are being tasked to shift from an emphasis on disease management often provided in an acute care setting to health promotion and disease prevention delivered in primary care settings. Efforts in this area can have significant positive impacts by reducing the need for primary healthcare and by reducing the stress on the healthcare system.

Changes in the industry only serve to stress what has always been true; namely, that the healthcare field has always faced significant challenges, and that goals to improve healthcare will always involve multiple stakeholders. This should not seem surprising given the circumstances. Indeed, when a growing population needs care, there are factors involved such as the demands of providing that care and the rising costs associated with healthcare. Generally, it is not surprising that the field of healthcare is an industry facing multifaceted issues that evolve over time.

In this module’s Discussion, you reviewed some healthcare issues/stressors and selected one for further review. For this Assignment, you will consider in more detail the healthcare issue/stressor you selected. You will also review research that addresses the issue/stressor and write a white paper to your organization’s leadership that addresses the issue/stressor you selected.

To Prepare:

Review the national healthcare issues/stressors presented in the Resources and reflect on the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected for study.
Reflect on the feedback you received from your colleagues on your Discussion post for the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected.
Identify and review two additional scholarly resources (not included in the Resources for this module) that focus on change strategies implemented by healthcare organizations to address your selected national healthcare issue/stressor.

The Assignment (3-4 Pages):Analysis of a Pertinent Healthcare Issue

Develop a 3- to 4-page paper, written to your organization’s leadership team, addressing your selected national healthcare issue/stressor and how it is impacting your work setting. Be sure to address the following:

Describe the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected and its impact on your organization. Use organizational data to quantify the impact (if necessary, seek assistance from leadership or appropriate stakeholders in your organization).
Provide a brief summary of the two articles you reviewed from outside resources on the national healthcare issue/stressor. Explain how the healthcare issue/stressor is being addressed in other organizations.
Summarize the strategies used to address the organizational impact of national healthcare issues/stressors presented in the scholarly resources you selected. Explain how they may impact your organization both positively and negatively. Be specific and provide examples.

Global and International Business Strategy

This is an individual piece of work – select one organisation (from the list provided) and address the following aspects:
Provide only a short introduction to state the company and define the industry in context.
Part 1 deals with strategic position of the organisation and addresses two aspects (Q1 external, Q2 Internal).

Q1. External analysis of the external business environment (industry as defined –it’s not about company). PESTEL – approx. 800 words
PESTEL: 5 most important issues to be identified, discussed and each concluded as an O or a T.
Os and Ts from PESTEL should form the OT parts of the SWOT matrix.

Q2. Internal analysis (resources and competences) of the acquirer without the target– approx 800 – 1000 words
Resources (what a company has) – descriptive approach. Approximately 5 resources to be identified and discussed (each should be discussed in a separate paragraph and concluded as a Strength or a Weakness). Try to address human, physical and intangible resources.
Try to identify at least one Weakness.
Competences (what a company does). Construct a Value Chain and list at least 5 activities (distinctive capabilities/competences) within.
One activity (distinctive capability/competence) should be discussed in detail (explain the activity, state why it is good/special and provide some evidence to support your arguments) in the main body. You can discuss another distinctive competence in the appendix in the same way if you like. Each distinctive competence is a Strength, so (assuming that you identified and discussed 5 resources – 4 Ss and 1 W) in total you should have 5Ss (competences) + 4Ss (resources) + 1W (resources).
The above Ss and Ws should form the SW parts of the SWOT matrix.
Part 2 is about the deal (undertaken by the company/case you’ve chosen).

Q3. Strategic direction of the deal discussed. Construct the Ansoff matrix and place the deal in one of the sections (other 3 sections should stay empty) explaining below why do you think that the deal belongs to the stated direction (e.g. market development). Approx. 100 – 200 words.

Q4. Thinking about the same deal, discuss important drivers of international as per Yip’s model. There are 4 drivers (11 points in total), make sure you address 3 point (out of 11) while addressing this question. Approx 300 – 400 words.

Q5. Thinking about the same deal, identify and discuss motives behind the method of the deal (in all cases it is M&A – mergers and acquisitions). Think of Strategic, Financial and Managerial motives behind the deal (there are approx. 8 points in total make sure you address 3 points while addressing this question). Approx 300 – 400 words.
