Deliverable 1: Workflow Chart for The Healthcare Business Plan

Workflow Chart for The Healthcare Business Plan

Workflow Analysis Flow Chart

As shown in the flow chart above, the CEO is critical in the entire healthcare environment based on the position's role in their daily operations. Management of all positions in the work environment is possible based on the CEO's direct connection to the internal work environment. Using a known structure for healthcare delivery is imperative in serving unique requirements that generate healing for all kinds of patient conditions. The chart above shows that the CEO oversees different departments to deal with suitable work outputs. Support the project participants' expertise is possible in the health improvement process to validate various activities involved. The CEO's role is strongly connected to developing strategies to ensure Healthy Dynamics is provided with the best organizational structure (Gordon & Pollack, 2018).

Collaboration with a healthcare advisor is suitable to determine a viable population. The strategic planning manager is a crucial component in the health setting to create effective interventions that adhere to health environment needs. The accounting manager is suitable for promoting better financial management, which is crucial for increased accuracy. Collaboration with the financial advisor is ideal for the accounting manager since it improves accurate resource allocation to serve the Healthy Dynamics project. Role division is suitable for all professionals to provide a clear structure for health awareness. The marketing manager can use advertisements, social media posts, and sharing of health information posts to create awareness of the company's plan. The role of the project manager is to handle all personnel's activities since their integration in the project is mandatory for better healthcare delivery. All the professionals shall generate accurate healthcare improvement techniques under careful assessment by the CEO (Gordon & Pollack, 2018).

Integrating ethics for all healthcare professionals is crucial to generating the best healthcare outcomes. The project members shall receive all required information to handle the target population. The best structure involves justice, nonmaleficence, beneficence, and autonomy that improve ethical operations in the healthcare environment to serve diverse medical needs. Moral improvement of all Healthy Dynamics areas helps generate better healthcare outcomes. Since adherence to current healthcare procedures is a beneficial method, integrating technological processes for serving the healthcare environment effectively develops better healthcare outcomes. Managing complex issues in the entire healthcare environment is the best method for solving everyday complexities when dealing with the general public's wellness requirements (Parsapour et al., 2021).

Deliverable 3: Engaging Stakeholders

Healthy Dynamics Strategy Map

Improvement of Healthy Dynamics is possible by creating a suitable structure that is known to offer effective management of patient requirements. Working with different stakeholders is mandatory to learn about their integral roles and how each component in the healthcare environment will operate in suitable standards. The table 1 below indicates different components connected to the project’s operations (Morciano et al., 2020).

Table 1 Strategy Map

Key Stakeholders	Selection Criteria	Stakeholder Power	Representation	Roles and Responsibilities	Meeting Time	Timeline	Stakeholder’s Influence

Deliverable 1: Strategic Planning

Internal Memorandum for The Healthcare Business Plan

Internal Memorandum

TO: All employees of Healthy Dynamics

FROM: Project Assessment Leader

RE: Development of Better Revenue from the Healthcare Industry

The above matter is referred to handle better healthcare delivery since Healthy Dynamics has substandard performance. Therefore, it is crucial to integrate strategic planning by connecting professionals who shall increase practical healthcare improvements. There can be internal improvements in the healthcare sector using business planning and strategic planning. Business planning is focused on the profitability concept of a healthcare environment by setting up payment options suitable to the patients and thus covering all expenses for managing the healthcare facility (Esfahani et al., 2018). Business plan describes the who and what of the business. It identifies who is running the business, what the business does, and the products and services. It addresses the question of aligning the business to achieve its goals (Parsons, 2020).

In contrast, strategic planning in healthcare is connected to finding the best method to ensure the treatment of patients' conditions. Strategic planning integrates advanced healthcare improvement techniques to offer access to suitable healthcare improvement scenarios (Esfahani et al., 2018). It looks beyond the business plan to explain the how. It projects future products and services to develop long-term goals (Parsons, 2020).

The proposal is to reduce drug and alcohol abuse in the population by using healthcare campaigns. Healthcare campaigns on social media are a suitable focus area to improve revenue by sharing information to a large audience using healthcare infographics and videos (Edney et al., 2018). It can be possible to validate different health improvement sessions once all involved persons understand the need to validate their health factors using interventions. Suggested interventions are physical exercise, integration of community groups, and launching social media campaigns to reduce alcohol and drug intake (Gordon & Pollack, 2018). There can be integrated wellness and health improvements once healthcare campaigns get launched in target populations. Wellness services are gaining better delivery in connection with the level of participation from people that realize the importance of their vital signs like high blood pressure, weight, and blood glucose levels (Gordon & Pollack, 2018).

According to Hossin (2022) by increasing the number of participants, the organization can increase revenue. Targeting the customers in need and developing a plan to manage their overall wellness, is the outreach needed to increase revenue. The organization should offer health clinics, mental health, and physical exercise events beyond the normal business days and hours. For my experience, text messages and social media are the best outreach platforms. Also, offering telehealth services to patients allows for the organization to reach more population in need.

Key questions to address for the new venture shall be:

1. How can the public gain better health improvement?

2. Are there any environmental areas where public members can engage with healthcare personnel?

3. How to effectively integrate healthy concepts into daily life?

4. What goals does the organization want to reach, and what is the timeline?

According to Hossin (2022) the company's view is that better health outcomes shall be possible with constant assessments.
