Describes the purpose of the healthcare organization

Organizational Strategy

The business plan of a healthcare organization describes the purpose of the healthcare organization and the structure to its organizational goals. The strategic plan is used as a road map on how the organization will accomplish its purpose and put ideas into action. The strategic plan also prioritizes the organization’s resources as a way to fulfill the business plan. One could summarize the business plan as the “what,” and the strategic plan as the “how.”
