Introduction: For your project in this unit, you will be developing what is known as a strategic management action plan (MAP). When all the strategic planning is done, it is time for management action planning based upon our strategies. This is where many healthcare organizations of all types fall short. The same level of effort that went into creating the strategic plan needs to continue as we take action, measure progress, and reassess over time. Management action planning is a step-by-step approach developed to help healthcare leaders plan the action steps that will lead to positive change for our organizations. The strategic plan sets the direction for us, and our MAPs get the work done, turning strategy into reality. Developing a MAP is a seven-step process, and you will actually be practicing this MAP process as you create your project. Refer to the steps in your textbook, Chapter 10, pp. 407–412, for guidance. Some suggested MAP topics are provided here, and you are certainly free to propose your own topic. Perhaps you will choose something that truly needs to be addressed in your own organization. You may even find the MAP to be a valuable tool as you lead your own organization. Suggested health care subjects include the topics listed below. Please select one of these topics, or a topic of your own choosing. Focus on identified problems and improvement opportunities, key issues for planning, and implementation via your MAP components. ? Nursing Recruitment and Retention in Health Care ? Continuing Education Challenges ? Patient Care Technology ? Staff Safety on Duty ? Patient Safety in Hospitals ? Stakeholder Relationships ? Community Education Programs ? Disaster Preparedness ? Medical Director Involvement ? Quality Improvement Program for Health Care ? Patient Satisfaction ? Rural Health Issues ? Funding for Hospital Programs ? Neonatal/Pediatric Services Your project should be a minimum of three to four pages in length and should include a cover page and reference page (cover and reference pages do not count toward the minimum page requirement). You need to include at least one graph, table, or chart to identify, analyze, and interpret your data for key issues concerning your MAP components. Also, show how this information and technology supports your MAP components. To supplement your MAP, you should include at least two sources, References and citations must be provided using APA style. All sources used must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have an accompanying citation

According to Nelson (2005), healthcare managers and leaders should use the approach of procedural justice when making decisions. Procedural justice is similar to stakeholder theory in that it “takes into account the rights, values, and interests of the broad range of individuals and groups who are affected by” an ethical conflict and “will be harmed by or will benefit from the decision” (Nelson 2005, 10). In applying procedural justice to ethical conflicts, one challenge is how to prioritize the competing values. Werhane (2000) suggests that, for healthcare organizations, the appropriate prioritization should be (1) patients or the population served, (2) clinicians and staff, and (3) the organization, including its financial stability. Review the example of the elderly patient with Alzheimer’s disease in the “Ethics of Care” section and then tackle the following: Please address the following points: How do you prioritize the interests of the affected individuals and groups per Nelson’s definition of procedural justice. What happens to the interests of family members, neighbors, friends, and lay volunteers (such as Meals on Wheels staff ) in procedural justice? Does the presence or absence of public transportation and community services and the elderly patient’s personal social support system (such as religious organization) matter in procedural justice? Your paper must include: A title page and reference page formatted according to APA At least one citation per page. A minimum of three outside references A minimum of three pages of content formatted according to APA.
