Introduction, Mission, Vision
The organization that I work for is the Grady Health System in Atlanta, Georgia. The Grady systems comprises 8 health care facilities in the Atlanta area. The Grady Health System has been part of the Atlanta community since 1892, with 110 beds and one operating room at Grady Hospital in a three-story facility. The organization was founded by Henry Grady, the editor of the Atlanta Constitution, as a means of providing health care for the area's poor (GradyHealth.org, 2014).
Grady's vision is to become the "leading public academic healthcare system in the United States." The organization's mission as follows:
"Grady improves the health of the community by providing quality, comprehensive healthcare in a compassionate, culturally competent, ethical and fiscally responsible manner. Grady maintains its commitment to the underserved of Fulton and DeKalb counties, while also providing care for residents of metro Atlanta and Georgia. Grady leads through its clinical excellence, innovative research and progressive medical education and training."
Grady's values are stated as excellence, customer service, ethics, teamwork and commitment. These values, mission and vision reflect the origins as a provider of healthcare for the poor, and the focus on excellence that has come to characterize Grady in the past several decades.
Strategic Planning Model
A strategic planning model is the means by which an organization develops its strategic plan. There are many different approaches to strategic planning. One model is to build from the vision or strategic goals; another is to plan around key issues. There is also the alignment model, seeking to align resources with the mission and vision; there is the scenario planning model and then there is also the organic planning model that reflects ongoing strategic planning (McNamara, 2014).
The Grady Health System builds its strategic plan around its vision, but aligning its resources and strategies around that vision. They begin with a clear sense of long-range objective in their vision statement and then work from there. Their mandate has been adjusted since Grady was founded, but there is the same sense of community values that surrounds the organization. Grady has, additionally, built competencies in specific areas, including trauma and emergency, heart, stroke, and other care options....
Strategic Planning Financial Plan Explanation Grady's budgeting is done on an incremental basis. What this means is that the budget for next year will be based on the budget for last year, with adjustments for inflation, for changes in the payer mix, for strategic changes relating to the service offering mix, and for new facilities in the system, as well as new capital expenses. Grady uses a cost-benefit analysis, which takes the form
Strategic plan II Environmental Analysis An environmental analysis is an important component, and indeed a prerequisite, to the strategic plan. It stands to reason that you cannot set a course for the future without knowing the route you will take, and you cannot know the route until you have the lay of the land. The environmental analysis is "a process in which you look at the outside factors that can have an

In some respects, the challenges faced by leaders in health care organizations do not vary from those faced by leaders in other organizations. The balance between patient outcomes, the disparate groups of subject matter experts and the challenges presented by operating in a highly regulated and litigious industry, in addition to the life-and-death consequences of the organization's work highlight the need for unique leadership in health care.
