The technicals in the development of a strategic plan are the final and most crucial component, which consists of elements such as developing the strategic goals to implement in the strategic plan, strategies of implementation, leading success indicators and performance targets. All these elements comprise the executable part of the strategic plan. In the Cross Senior Care Skilled Nursing Facility project, there are some factors to put into consideration as we approach the technical aspect of the strategic plan.
Strategic Goals
To be able to execute the strategic plan, strategic goals that address the objectives to be covered on a short-term basis are considered to be the most effective (Lasserre, 2017). For the betterment of the Cross Senior Care organization shortly with regards to globalization and its impact, we can narrow our strategic goals too.
Improving the health scores over the next 12 months. An improved health score means international recognition as to having met the standards of care, which subsequently means opening up the Cross Senior Care to the global market and receiving patients from all over the world.
Revising the employment contracts over the next six months. A revised employment contract is an avenue that will allow the organization to employ permanent and full time registered nurses who will be in charge of caring for the patients round the clock. This can be used as an opportunity to shop for the best of the best-registered nurses in the world and have them spearhead this organization to the epitome of success.
Increased financial income over the next 24 months. This will allow Cross Senior Care to be mapped economically on the global market as a world-class performing care organization with a potential of opening up other branches of this organization worldwide.
Potential Alliances
With the implementation of these strategic goals, Cross Senior Care could be placed on the world map ranked among the best senior healthcare institutions attracting potential alliances with global organizations desiring to be affiliated with this success. Some of the potential alliances could be the Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRC) in China, which is seeking partnership with American senior care providers. Antara Senior Living and Ashiana in India could also be potential alliances according to a study on India’s demographics (Chand " Tung, 2014). These global alliances among the senior care providers are essential in the global economy to give these organizations a competitive advantage over the other organizations (Dunning, 2015).
Implementation of goals
To improve the health scores over the next 12 months, strategies such as increasing the number of beds to accommodate more patients will prove highly efficient. Including different families of admitted patients in the developing of care plans will also reduce the complaints and improve the health scores.
Revision of employment contracts can be attained by employing more registered nurses and specialized physicians to be the primary caregivers at the organization. Salary bonuses can also be awarded to the staff members as a form of encouragement to keep up the excellent work.
Increasing the financial income of the organization would entail rigorous marketing campaigns in both mainstream media and social media. Improvement of the services offered to patients will subsequently see an increase in the number of patients coming to this facilities. This will, in turn, improve the financial income generated by this organization.
Accountability
The leadership of the organization will be joint as a team, in line with the core value of teamwork, be responsible for the execution of the strategic plan (Sadler " Dalal-Clayton, 2012). Down from the nurses, they will play the most significant role in increasing financial income of the organization by delivering quality health care services to the patients. The various departmental managers will oversee the improvement of health scores by improving the amenities at the facilities to ensure no customer complains. The administrators at the top of the leadership will revise the employment contracts and ensure to employ the best staff to work in the organization full time.
Employee accountability would be tracked by enacting suggestion and complaint boxes at these facilities to monitor the areas to improve on directly from the patients. Audits will also be conducted after a three month period to establish what areas are being implemented in the strategic plan and what areas are not.
The client’s and stakeholder’s role in accountability would be to make an honest contribution to the progress of the organization without fear or favor. Monthly questionnaires and online sessions will be conducted as a form of getting feedback from the clients and stakeholders active concerning the execution of the strategic plan.
Conclusion
New threats and opportunities may occur as a result of the implementation of the strategic plan. A review of the strategic plan as it being implemented is, therefore, an essential factor to consider. The leadership of the organization will be joint as a team, in line with the core value of teamwork, be responsible for the execution of the strategic plan.
