From the Paper:

"The commitment of Faith Community Hospital to its spiritual heritage and values is apparent in the very manner in which this has been upfronted in the mission statement of the organization. While this indicates a clear set of organizational values and a strong culture, it also implies that Faith Community Hospital is an organization with a culture that is committed to not just its task but to the very idea of the organization. Unfortunately, this commitment to the idea of the organization has led to stakeholders who are more committed to the process rather than the product of organizational action, which really should be focused on the health outcomes of the patients treated. Indeed, it is this factor that has likely led to the existing conflicts between "ethics, laws, beliefs, oaths, etc." (Case Study, p. 2) In fact, the commitment to adhere to the spiritual and moral values of patients and staff has also led to several other problems especially in the area of financial management. Indeed, the SWOT analysis (Refer Appendix 1) clearly reveals the following problems, which Faith Community Hospital must address if it is to assure its continued survival and, indeed, grow its reputation and capacity to serve its communities."
