According
to Zuckerman (2006), studies revealed that the state of strategic planning in
healthcare indicates that executives believes those practices are effective and
will provide direction for their organization. This may possibly reflect the
attitude of executives in AGH because their strategic planning came in the
middle of a national healthcare reform. In AGH’s future, their community will
grow approximately 3% in the next two years with 70% of the population listed
as obese (alanticgeneral.org, n.d.). Therefore, AGH plans to strategically
focus on ways to implement an effective care delivery system by including the latest
technology advancements to assist patients in improving their lifestyles.
Along
with technological advances, AGH will experiment with Medicare reimbursement
systems in order to force healthcare providers to rethink delivery structures
such as management of chronic illnesses (alanticgeneral.org, n.d.). With the
new implementation, AGH has to stay ahead of the curve by planning a financial
roadmap to accommodate for their new health system. Moreover, payment reforms
included in the ACA should assist AGH with forward progress and future visions.
