This paper analyzes the Faith Community Hospital case study aka Let It Pour. The paper ties in course concepts of ambiguity, perception, individual personal values versus society legal and ethical norms, and communication processes. Included is stakeholder and brand (hospital image) concepts. The writer outlines the recommendations of the case study for the benefit of the hospital.
From the Paper
"?A good mission statement should accurately explain why the organization exists and what it hopes to achieve in the future. It articulates the organization's essential nature, its values, and its work? (Radtke, 1998, Para 2). A good mission statement is not the recipe for success in business; it is the grand global picture. To accomplish the goals identified in the organizational mission statement, identification of all stakeholders, support of key stakeholders, written policies, detailed written procedures, and effective communication are critical success factors. These critical success factors are the missing ingredients at Faith Community Hospital, the subject of this case study."

Abstract
This paper states that the position of the hospital is that it lacks skilled management. The author points out that the organization seems no longer to believe in the premises for which it was established as reflected in the differences in the opinions of various people on the Board of the organization and in the inability of the CEO to control these differences. The paper relates that the CEO is not able to manage the differences in opinion among the hospital staff and there is a laxity in not fixing the rules under which the staff has to operate in terms of medical and financial operations especially in the area of medical insurance.
From the Paper
"The thinking of the CEO is clear from his statement saying "I report directly to the Board of Directors of the Faith Foundation. Its diversity alone represents a kaleidoscope of thinking and decision-making. The grand point of commonality among the Board members is their support of the purpose, values, and survival of Faith Hospital." (Let It Pour: My First Assignment as Executive Assistant) The problem is thus not only in the hospital but goes even further and it goes to the Board. The Board embers do not have identical opinions about the method of running the hospital and this means that the differences of opinion will percolate down. At the same time, they all want the hospital to continue operating, but this is difficult if they do not have unanimity in thinking or decision making."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The health of the organizational culture of FCH is another component paramount to the long-term success and stability of the hospital. Success in any work setting depends on a respect for people and an understanding of human behavior in complex organizational systems (Schermerhorn et al, 2005 p. 9). Therefore, I also recommend the human resources department issue surveys to hospital staff, and patients on a quarterly basis. The survey results should be used as a management tool to gauge and control the health needs of the organization as perceived by the patients and employees."

Abstract
This document discusses a situation at a hospital where wait times for patient service or inordinately high. Physicians, nurses, and patients as well as administrators have all complained. A team has been assigned to address the problem and, with the assistance of the HR director, is going to make recommendations and observations to the hospital CEO.
From the Paper
"Hospital physicians, administrative staff, nurses, and patients have all made note of, and in many cases complained of, inordinate wait times for service delivery in the hospital. The hospital CEO has directed a team of administrative staff to determine the cause or causes of this inordinate wait time and to identify corrective measures. The team has identified a particular departmental supervisor that is not open to improvement or willing to accept the changes that are necessary to correct this and other problems. Additionally, because of the authoritarian management styles on the part of past executive leadership of the hospital, the team membership is somewhat reticent to approach the CEO with its results and feedback."

From the Paper
"Mrs Tran (she prefers to be called "Grace") is a 47-year-old Vietnamese woman. She speaks little English and is traveling with her husband "John" from Vietnam. Although not mentioned, language barriers with the husband should be anticipated in order to ensure clear two-way understanding of the situation at hand. The couple were visiting their son, who is currently studying international business at La Trobe University. Medical diagnosis Mrs Tran presented 12 days ago with a sudden-onset headache and subsequent loss of consciousness. There were presumably no other extenuating factors surrounding her sudden illness. She has a significant past history of hypertension but was otherwise well. Compliance issues may have to be ruled and anticipated against when she recovers. A head CT scan revealed a 5cm x 4cm left frontal intracerebal hemorrhage."

From the Paper
"The Community Hospital in the present case study saw its beginnings during the mid-1800s and has come a long way since then serving a population of nearly 13,000 inhabitants. Its location from the nearest large city is 15 miles which itself has four major hospitals and 40 miles from the state capital with more medical conveniences. Apart from that, the Hospital also caters to the medical needs of five very small and nearby rural towns with a net total population which is estimated to be 35,000 inhabitants. It continues to be a general hospital since inception because of the presence of many large hospitals in its vicinity. Although the hospital has good doctors in attendance, majority of them have grown old in their profession and as such the Hospital will be facing a severe shortage of doctors 10-15 years down the line. The Hospital is facing a crunch on the financial front as the minimum occupancy rates have fallen well below the break-even point needed for the Hospital to stay afloat."

From the Paper
"As we are told, medical errors are a major concern for the hospital. This problem is made more relevant for Faith Community Hospital because we see that the varied views of both the patients and the staff inflict upon their ability to provide adequate patient care. As we are told "we have particular patients who refuse to take certain medical services." We are told of a current case where Child Protective Services are threatening to take action because of the way the hospital did not provide services, even though this non action was in agreement with the parent's wishes."

Abstract
The paper explains that some of the critical issues facing Faith Community Hospital, which the hospital needs to address, are basic financial problems; the conflict between the organization?s spiritual heritage and values and the ethics of the medical profession; non-compliance with government, managed care, insurance regulations, and non-adherence to hospital operational policies. The author points out that Faith Community Hospital has an organizational management problem, which needs to be thoroughly analyzed rather than tyring to solve the various problems piecemeal. The paper states that, although the mission statement of Faith Community Hospital implies a broad goal of promoting the health and well-being of the people it serves within a framework of spiritual values, it can be inferred that the organization suffers from an absence of clear-cut policies and goals that are specific, measurable, targeted, and time-specific.

From the Paper
"The mission statement plays a critical role in setting direction and laying the foundation for the culture and goals of any organization. Indeed, this is clearly expressed in Hyrum Smith?s model of instructive goal setting, which is commonly referred to as Smith?s ?Success Triangle.? This model places an organization?s governing values at the base of the goal setting process and recommends that goals must be linked to specific governing values in order to be meaningful and to help the organization achieve its mission (Parker, 2003). The mission statement of Faith Community Hospital appears to adhere to the strategic principles inherent in Smith?s ?Success Triangle? to the extent that it clearly emphasizes the organization?s commitment to promoting the health and well-being of the people in the communities it serves, using its spiritual heritage and values as the foundation. However, since spiritual values can vary vastly across religions and individual beliefs, Faith?s mission statement has led to broad individual interpretations that have, in turn, led to an organizational culture, which allows too much leeway for individual decision-making. This is evident in the anecdotal cases cited by the CEO of doctors independently deciding to either treat patients pro bono or insisting on insurance coverage prior to commencement of treatment; the pharmacist filling prescriptions for uninsured patients; and the inconsistency in adhering to hospital policy in areas such as ?Do Not Resuscitate? (DNR) decisions."

Abstract
The following paper examines the current problematic situation in Faith Community Hospital, where the overall problem is that the level of patient care is at risk, however the symptom lies deeper. Firstly, the writer introduces the variety of problems that have been recognized. The paper then provides several solutions, explaining their reasoning and how they will solve the problem. Finally it concludes by showing how solving these base problems ultimately leads to better patient care.
From the Paper
As the CEO tells Chris, ;we;ve got some interesting interpretations of the mission statement being made, in all of our stakeholder groups.The main problem is that the mission statement is not clear enough, it can be interpreted in various ways. It is also relevant that the mission statement goes out to all types of stakeholders, who each have different needs. Interpretation from these different groups means that the hospital is viewed in many different ways, with the hospital itself having no clear mission and certainly all the parties involved with the hospital not having the same expectations.The values of the hospital are also open to interpretation. The faith of the hospital attracts those that support the faith.
