Strategic Visioning with Stakeholders
Slide 1
Hi, I am Grace, presenting today about “Strategic Visioning with Stakeholders” for the Grace Hospital. Hospital-acquired infections (HAI) are a major concern for healthcare organizations worldwide. These infections can lead to more extended hospital visits, higher medical prices, and even life expiry. Prevention and control of HAIs require cooperation between healthcare providers, patients, and other stakeholders (Wen et al., 2022). This presentation will explore the importance of collaborating with stakeholders to develop a strategic vision for HAI prevention. We will discuss how management skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, and collaboration can be used to develop effective strategies to address the challenges of HAIs. By working with stakeholders, we can create a shared vision to reduce the incidence of these infections and improve the overall quality of care Grace Hospital provides.
Strategic Plan Summary
Slide 3
Grace Hospital’s strategic plan significantly reduces HAIs by implementing a comprehensive approach combining the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) model and SWOT analysis (Alfajri et al., 2021). The plan is centered around two main goals. A short-term goal is to reduce HAIs by 20% in high-risk units within one year, and a long-term goal is to reduce HAIs by 50% hospital-wide over five years. The short-term goal is to achieve a 20% reduction in HAIs in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) within one year. This will be accomplished through targeted initiatives such as improving hand hygiene practices, increasing the availability of infection control resources, and enhancing surveillance systems. Metrics for success include the number of HAIs per 1,000 patient days in ICUs, with monthly tracking to assess progress (Mouajou et al., 2021).
The long-term goal is to establish a pervasive safety culture across the entire hospital, aiming for a 50% reduction in HAIs over five years. Key initiatives include continuous education and training for healthcare providers, robust patient and family engagement, and a comprehensive monitoring and evaluation framework for infection control practices (Mangal et al., 2021). Success will be measured by achieving and maintaining reduced HAI rates for at least two consecutive years, using similar metrics of HAIs per 1,000 patient days. These goals align with Grace Hospital’s mission, vision, and values, emphasizing patient safety, quality, and compassion while leveraging evidence-based interventions and fostering stakeholder collaboration (Grace Hospital, 2024).
Slide 4
Weaknesses
The proposed strategic objectives align with Grace Hospital’s mission to deliver high-quality, patient-centered care. Grace Hospital can face challenges such as a lack of sufficient resources, including funding and staffing, which could impact the effectiveness of the interventions. Resistance to change among staff and patients may hinder the adoption of new infection-prevention practices. Additionally, competing priorities within the hospital might divert attention and resources away from the focused effort needed to reduce HAIs (Stewart et al., 2021).
