Organizational Design, Culture, and Adaptation
SLP: Second Part
Many healthcare programs have modified their operational design and culture to one of being patient-centered while being fiscally viable. As part of your interview of a healthcare manager or executive selected for module 1 discuss how the program was or will be transformed to be patient-centered. In your discussion please address the following questions.
1.How was the program restructured or reengineered to adapt to internal and external factors impacting it?
2.What internal and external factors were considered in the transformation?
3.What were the barriers or obstacles were encountered (e.g. internal politics, economics, resource limitations, time constraints, etc.).
4.What is the potential impact on the program of technology, legislation, etc on the services provided on the program.
*Please note that you may add any additional questions that tie into the themes presented in module 2.

Additional considerations to keep in mind while working on your SLP assignments:
Originality and use of directly quoted material
•The purpose of each assignment is for you to present your understanding and synthesis of the background material and key concepts. Accordingly, this must be accomplished substantially in your own words.
•Use directly quoted material sparingly and only when preserving the exact words of an author is necessary. For purposes of this course, rarely should directly quoted material represent more than 5-10 percent of your entire paper’s content. Composing a paper patched together from mostly quoted material is not acceptable.
•Be sure to properly reference all directly quoted material and include the in-text citations. All paraphrased information also requires reference citations at the end of the paraphrased section.
