Stevens District Hospital Strategic-Planning Scenario
Background
Stevens District Hospital is a 162-bed acute care hospital that is qualified as a not-for-profit facility. The hospital was originally a county-owned facility, and its status was transferred to an independent facility three years ago. The hospital receives no external funding from government agencies for operations. The hospital is accredited by The Joint Commission and received reaccreditation during their triannual survey last year. The hospital has an aggressive quality-management program and a low volume of medical malpractice claims. The hospital is in Jefferson City, which is a city of 50,000 people with 80,000 in the regional market. The hospital provides a general range of acute care services, including medical/surgical, rehab, and emergency care.
Current Performance Analysis
Current Mission and Vision Statements
Our mission: To improve health by providing high-quality care, a comprehensive range of services, and exceptional service.
Our vision: Stevens District Hospital and its affiliates will be the health care provider of choice for physicians and patients. Our five-year vision is to create a large, multispecialty physician practice system that would include at least six family practice physicians and specialists in cardiology, oncology, and women’s services. Currently, the hospital employs three family-practice physicians, one obstetrician, one medical oncologist, and one non-invasive cardiologist.
Previous Strategic Plan Review
Goals and Progress Table
Goals |
Progress Toward Meeting Goals |
Increase market share by recruiting three family practice physicians. |
During the past year, the hospital was able to recruit only one family-practice physician to increase primary care market. The limited number of state medical school graduates makes local recruitment difficult. |
Improve quality HCAHPS scores in all six criteria to a baseline of the 85th percentile. |
The hospital improved HCAHPS scores in four of six criteria. Lagging elements in HCAHPS scores are inpatient patient satisfaction and primary-care patient satisfaction. |

Increases in the percent of population with chronic disease and contributing factors will change significantly over the coming five years.
Chronic Disease Predictions
Payment
There will be continued focus on pay for performance and increased wellness programs. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is leading to more people being covered; however, there are often high deductibles.
The median household income for county residents is $59,548. On average, households in the county earn more than the state median household income of $44,446 and more than the national average of $53,650. The addition of a new automotive manufacturing plant to the local market next year is projected to add 1,500 production line jobs and 300 administrative jobs by year end. Median income for the production positions is estimated at $45,000 and will provide health, vision, and dental insurance benefits.
Percentage of Population by Insurance
Figure 2: Current Payer Mix
Figure 2: The Current Payer Mix pie chart shows that 35% are covered by Medicaid, 30% are covered by Medicare, 24% are covered by commercial insurance, 9% are uninsured, and 2% are noted as “other.”
Figure 3: Projected Payer Mix in 5 Years
Figure 3: The Projected Payer Mix in 5 Years pie chart shows that 38% are covered by Medicare, 24% are covered by Medicaid, 32% are covered by commercial insurance, 4% are uninsured, and 2% are noted as “other.”
As part of your review of this data, consider the following factors:
· A portion of the population will become Medicare eligible.
· The addition of manufacturing positions that include benefits will increase commercial insurance coverage.
· Changes from the ACA will increase the number of patients in the market with insurance coverage.
Employers
There is expected growth in large employers with the addition of the automotive factory in the northwest sector of the county.
Physicians
The continued shortage of medical staff, especially in orthopedics, oncology, and primary care, will require increased recruitment efforts.
Competitors
Hanover County Hospital, which is the other hospital in the county, has an updated facility that has drawn more market share to its facility.

Technology
A competing hospital has added e-visits for physician practices, which is causing a shift of patients to the competitor hospital's physician practices.
Regulatory Changes
Health care reform through the ACA has increased the number of patients with some form of insurance payment. These patients are now seeking care from a primary care physician in greater numbers. Stevens District Hospital struggles with accommodating patient scheduling requests to establish care with a primary care physician.

The Purpose of Mission and Vision Statements in Strategic Planning Small Business | Business Planning & Strategy | Strategic Planning
By Madison Hawthorne Updated March 25, 2019
Businesses often make or rewrite their strategic plans when the organizational structure is changing, or as a way to respond to changing market conditions. Change can be a difficult process and employees sometimes require time to get on on board with the decision-making process. One tool that can help is the clear articulation of the company's mission and vision statement. Articulating and repeating the positives of the move toward change in the organization will help employees stay engaged and motivated in the process. G

What is Strategic Planning?
Change is an essential component of strategic planning. This involves moving the organization or program forward to create or change something. Some plans are created out of the need for the organization to move in a certain direction, and other plans develop organically. Mission and vision statements will be important to help communicate the goals of the plan to employees and the public.
Role of the Mission Statement
Leaders should emphasize the current mission statement to employeesemphasize the current mission statement to employees, which clarifies the purpose and primary, measurable objectives of the organization. A mission statement is meant for employees and leaders of the organization. Strategic plans may involve changing the mission statement to reflect a new direction of the organization. Highlighting the benefits of the change and minimizing the deficits will help employees and the public buy into the change.
Another way to look at it is that mission statements describe the company's mission as it is now and for the near future. So if the company is undergoing major changes, it would make sense to revise the mission statement so it is current.
Role of the Vision Statement
Like mission statements, vision statements help to describe the organization's purpose. Vision statements give direction for employee behavior and help provide inspiration. Strategic plans may require a marketing strategy, which could include the vision statement to also help inspire consumers to work with the organization.
A vision statement is a view into the future with hope and a positive outlook. It describes a company's inspirational, long-term planinspirational, long-term plan for what they'll be able to accomplish, who they will help, and how the company will then be perceived. It's often out of reach for now, but not so far out of reach as to be unattainable. The vision statement gives everyone a description of what they're working towards.
Purposes of Strategic Planning
Strategic planning will likely have its successes and failures. Leaders should celebrate the little successes toward meeting objectives, which are part of the mission and vision statement. The mission statement will help measure whether the strategic plan aligns with the overall goals of the agency. The vision statement helps to provide inspiration to employees. Employees who feel invested in the organizational change are more likely to stay motivated and have higher levels of productivity.
Encouraging Continued Engagement
A successful change will involve communicating and repeating mission and vision statements, which helps prevent people from becoming discouraged in the event of small failures along the way. Leaders should continue to highlight the strengths of thecontinue to highlight the strengths of the strategic planstrategic plan and involve important stakeholders in the process. Engaging employees and volunteers will help them to recognize and take ownership of the change. Involving employees also helps to provide more minds to prevent possible problems.
Examples to Consider
Many companies have vision and mission statements that don't serve them well. Still, there are companies with outstanding statements. LinkedInLinkedIn is a good example is a good example:
▪ Vision: To create economic opportunity for every member of the global workforce.
▪ Mission: To connect the world’s professionals to make them more productive and
successful.
Notice how LinkedIn's vision statement refers to "every member of the global workforce." That's a huge goal that won't be accomplished in the near future. Maybe never. But it is inspiring and makes employees want to achieve it.
The mission statement, on the other hand, is achievable. By connecting professionals, they give them the contacts they need to make them more productive and successful.
Now consider the example of Southwest airlinesSouthwest airlines:
▪ Vision: To become the world’s most loved, most flown, and most profitable airline.
▪ Mission: The mission of Southwest Airlines is dedication to the highest quality of
customer service delivered with a sense of warmth, friendliness, individual pride, and
company spirit.
There's no question Southwest's vision statement is for the future. Many people currently love Southwest, but everyone in the world? Hardly. Will they ever be "most loved, most flown, and most profitable"? That's a lot to ask of any business. But by striving for all three, they're encouraging employees to be at their best
Southwest's mission statement is much more down-to-earth, current and achievable. Their employees have the choice to dedicate themselves to having the highest quality service, to be warm and friendly, proud and filled with company spirit. G

What Skills Should a Strategic Leader Have to Achieve Ambitions? By Neil Kokemuller
A strategic leader is one who plans ahead to ensure an organization has a long-term mission and objectives, and the strategies to achieve them. In addition to the common leadership skills you need to develop and motivate people, an effective strategic leader also needs vision, intuition, perseverance and persuasive communication skills.
Clear Vision
Vision is the ability to keep the focus on the future even when a company is doing well in the present. Strategic planning in an organization is essentially an ongoing process of looking ahead. The strategic leader with clarity of thought on future opportunities, challenges and how the company should move forward is a huge plus in an organization. Other managers and employees are usually more inspired to follow a leader who has a clear vision and plan for the future.
Intuition and Perception
The strategic leader benefits from keen intuition and perception of things going on around him. Rarely can a company operate in a straight-forward, uninhibited manner to achieve its goals. Unexpected obstacles often get in the way. A good strategic leader senses early when plans get off track or when employees aren’t aligned in efforts to achieve shared goals. This early detection of such roadblocks allows for early intervention, shifting of direction or reactionary measures to improve the situation.
Perseverance
For the same reasons the strategic leader needs intuition, he also needs perseverance. A “try one time and give up” attitude is no good when you have to drive people toward medium- and long-term goals. Employees may become demoralized if new ventures, activities or plans get derailed. Part of your job as a leader is to keep everyone focused on the big picture. This role often involves meeting with the entire work force, individual departments or even individual employees to reaffirm or redirect their efforts.
Persuasive Communication Skills
Communication skills are essential for any type of manager or leader. A strategic leader must have strong abilities to communicate persuasively. Within a management team, the strategic leader may have to fight to convince others that a particular path is optimal in achieving goals. He must also participate in helping employees at all levels understand their roles in carrying out a strategy. In many cases, employees don’t like change. Thus, the strategic leader must help them understand why the change is necessary for future success of the business.
