These resources could be conference lines, conference rooms, people or equipment. Organizing resources could mean the difference between having enough staff to take more patients or having to defer patients to another facility. Managers also lead their staff in the direction of the organization mission, providing guidance to their direct reports, as well as valuable input to their peers with regard to their respective expertise. Managers control to ensure that resources that will best fit the need are placed appropriately and continue to operate correctly and efficiently. “On a daily basis, health care managers must recognize performance problems, and opportunities, make good decisions, and take appropriate action” (Lombardi & Schermerhorn, 2007. p. 16).
There is always room for improvement in any HCO. In order for improvement to happen, staff at all levels will need to be on the same page. Therefore healthcare management will have to efficiently develop such a strategy that utilizes either type of quality measurements and effectively communicate to the staff. If there is opposition in any way from the staff improvement cannot happen when change is needed (AIU Online, 2012). The healthcare industry is always progressing and growing especially in today’s technological world and will have to progress and grow accordingly as well.
Organizational Change In a rapidly changing healthcare system, creating, advancing and sustaining an environment that is grounded in evidence-based practice (EBP) is vital to ensure that patients and families receive the best possible care. Today an expectation is that new information and research findings will be incorporated constantly and knowledgeably into clinical nursing practice (Pipe, Wellik, Buckda, Hansen, & Martyn, 2005). It is essential that York Healthcare embraces and fosters a culture that supports EBP philosophy and integrates new evidence into its culture. Organization history, vision and goals Anticipating the future needs of the community, a group of local residents in the 1950s began building awareness
AHIMA is also helping the health care sector by helping providers make better decisions with the use of analytics, informatics and decision support technology. Health care organizations will depend on HIM professionals as leaders across all healthcare sectors, with expertise in predictive modeling of clinical information, trend analysis, and revenue cycle management. (www.ahimafoundation.org, 2014). The stakeholder perspective for AHIMA is based on improving clinical documentation, improving patient encounters, and coding accuracy. AHIMA believes that hospitals and providers must improve clinical documentation in preparation for the expanded scope of clinical data beyond a single patient encounter to a comprehensive data set comprising the entire continuum of care (www.ahimafoundation.org, 2014).
Briefing for an Information System There is a growing movement for health care organizations to change to electronic health record (EHR) systems. However, choosing the correct system can be an extremely overwhelming job. An organization must inquiry about what requirement is currently, what the future needs are, and if a particular system will meet the required needs on an organization from the vendor when making a choice of which vendor will employ to accomplish the task at hand. In, this briefing it will show how an organization goes about deciding which vendor to use, and the training every staff member will need to ensure he or she is efficient running the system while providing the utmost quality of service to the patients, coworkers, and the organization. Selection Process, Organization Goals, and Stakeholders Role There are a number of items that must be well-thought-out when changing an information system.
Patients should always be the focus of an organization’s quality improvement strategy. Patients rely on hospital organizations for their products and services and thus have expectations and needs. It is only fair that these services, needs and products are delivered with the highest quality. The patient stimulated quality emphases the process and results. It requires that services are detailed because the priority is the patient’s perspective, thus making them very important to the organization.
Therefore, it takes a very important part in the reformation of health care. The American Nurse Association was purposed to charge nurses to further their education in the medical field so that they could gain more credibility amongst their patients and within the medical field.With the ANA support in March of 2010 President Obama proposed the Health Care Reform Act to help assure individuals better, high-quality, and affordable health care insurance coverage. ("Health care reform in the United States", 2010, p.1). President Obama's purpose of the health care reform was purposed to provide better quality care to patients and the American Nurse Association is a perfect way in insuring that this word stands

This paper will discuss the formulation, legislative, and implementation process of policy making. Due to the need for policy review it is important to follow these steps in order to ensure and improve upon the health care system.
System Structures Overview Denise Schuler HCS 533 January 12, 2015 Dr. Kevin Lett System Structures Overview Health statistics and data are important for any organization because it allows the organization to know, at a glance, an array of vital information necessary to operations and patient safety. In the health care industry today, reportable data interconnects and reports on both the clinical side of an organization and the revenue side, it is because of this that having a system structure in place is paramount for data collections. This overview will focus on disease classification structures that are necessary for reimbursement and epidemiological data collections by providing a description of the information system structure, the reason for the focus on this system structure, how this structure applies to utilization in a hospital setting and the advantages and disadvantages of the system structure. Description of the Selected System The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) is the standard diagnostic tool for epidemiology, health management and clinical purposes; physicians and other health care providers, researchers and payers use this tool in order to classify diseases (World Health Organization, 2015) for statistical data and for reimbursement. This system ranges from ICD 6 to ICD 11(Loscalzo et al, 2007) and
