Implementation Barriers

Submit two current (within the past 5 years) credible references you’ve located that are specific to implementation barriers that may be experienced as part of your proposed project (as covered in Module 8). Finding these resources now will ensure that you have collected and reviewed appropriate material related to this aspect before completing the final portfolio assignment.

Your document should conform to APA guidelines.

My Portfolio Project:

For this project, you are to evaluate an existing service line or program (such as a diabetes management program, comprehensive oncology center, geriatric wing of a hospital, etc.) for an actual/real healthcare organization. You may select a hospital, integrated medical group, day surgery facility, nursing home, or urgent care facility within your own community. If your current employer falls into one of the categories, you may use your current employer/organization for this project. For the purpose of the assignment, assume that you are the Director of Strategic Planning for this organization.

The CEO has assigned you the responsibility for making an informed decision as to the best way forward strategically, whether that means that the organization expands the selected program, continues the current strategy it employs, changes certain aspects of operational strategy, fully maintains the program as is, merges the program with another one, or closes the program. The summary of your assessment will be presented to the Board of Directors, CEO, COO, and CFO, so those perspectives must be considered.
