The Medical Center of Plano has established itself as a leader in health care since its opening in 1975, nestled in Plano, Texas. Since its inception as a small community hospital, it prides its self of the delivery of quality health care as well as its concern for its patients. Over the years, it has grown to “a full-service facility, with 427-bed acute-care facility with more than 1,300 employees and over 1000 physicians on staff, representing over 70 specialties and subspecialties.” (The Medical Center of Plano, 2014, para. 2) The main campus “includes the main hospital and medical offices, also includes an outpatient surgery center, a comprehensive cancer-treatment center, an emergency and Level 2 trauma center, a radiology/imaging center, a comprehensive cardiovascular program, the Center of Lifestyle Enhancement, The Bariatric Institute, Wound Care Center and complete woman’s and children’s services including a high-risk antepartum unit and a Level 3 neonatal intensive care unit.” (The Medical Center of Plano, 2014, para. 2)This success can be accredited to their Mission Statement:

In addition to this business plan, we must also address the financial issues plaguing this organization. To illustrate some of these issues lets look at some of the trends here at OCB and within our Industry: For example, OCB’s clinic operations profitability in 1990 was 60%, and now in 1996 our profitability is only 37%, which is down 23 percentage points! We can blame some of this on rising costs of overhead, consumables, etc, however this is happening as the industry as a whole is growing 5% annually, and as our customer base, largely senior citizens, population is growing at almost 1% as year. We should be capitalizing on these industry trends, however, as you all know, not all the trends work in our favor. For example, our lifeblood, the Insurance company’s managed care organizations, and government healthcare reimbursement programs shows a downward trend of allowable payments for our services (DRGs) For example in 1995 the DRG price of ...
After analyzing the Coastal Medical Center, it is apparent that the employees and staff have no conception of the mission, vision, and values of this health care facility.

Honor Health is a hospital and physician provider system located in phoenix Arizona. Honor health is relatively new hospital chain, more specifically it is the result of a merger of Scottsdale hospital and the John C. Lincoln Health Network (Alltucker, 2013). Honor Health’s mission statement is relatively short, comprising only a single sentence. Their mission and vision statements are, “To improve the health and well-being of those we serve” and, “To be the partner of choice as we transform healthcare for our communities” (Honor Health, 2015). While their vision and mission statements impart a direction and goal for their organization, the vagueness of both statements may cause problems in guiding targeted strategic initiatives. This essay

Today, many Americans face the struggle of the daily hustle and bustle, and at times can experience this pressure to rush even in their medical appointments. Conversely, the introduction of “patient-centered care” has been pushed immensely, to ensure that patients and families feel they get the medical attention they are seeking and paying for. Unlike years past, patient centered care places the focus on the patient, as opposed to the physician.1 The Institute of Medicine (IOM) separates patient centered care into eight dimensions, including respect, emotional support, coordination of care, involvement of the family, physical comfort, continuity and transition and access to care.2

When asked to state the primary goal of his business, Dr. Slez cited “high quality health care service” as the firm’s main objective. The effective treatment of, and development of trust with, the practice’s patients, Dr. Slez continued, takes precedence over profits. Indeed, if all healthcare firms placed profits above patient care (and many do) we would be far worse off. While doing what is needed to stop the spread of a disease or alleviate pain may not always be the most cost effective approach, it is the approach demanded by the government and general public. This is not to say that Dr. Slez’s firm does not try to maximize profit. The f...
