Abstract
This paper begins with an introduction to Faith Community Hospital, a nonprofit organization established with the aim of promoting the health and well-being of the people in the communities it serves. The paper then reviews the SWOT analysis of the hospital that was done in order to identify the issues and define the problems the hospital is currently facing. Finally, the paper presents conclusions based on the SWOT analysis, with the intention of finding solutions that take into consideration different environmental factors, especially the interests of various stakeholder groups.
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."

Abstract
This paper examines the problems and their causes currently facing Faith Community Hospital. First, the paper suggests that the lack of clarity in the mission statement allows for it to be interpreted from many different perspectives, with such interpretations then influencing and determining the manner in which medical care and services are offered and received. The paper next suggests that there is also a lack of clarity amongst board members and staff regarding legal and policy mandates, which the hospital must adhere to in order to protect itself as well as its? patients. A third significant problem identified is that the hospital does not have an established specialization or identity. Finally, the paper looks at the problem of decreasing patients. Included in the discussion of each problem is a recommendation for resolving it.
From the Paper
"There is lack of consensus and understanding amongst the Board of Directors, health and medical staff, and patients of the differences between values and ethics, and how each of these influences medical practices. The basis of this confusion and lack of clarity appears to be the result of the mission statement of Faith Community Hospital which emphasizes the role of spiritual values and beliefs in directing medical care. No one spiritual faith is adhered to or largely represented amongst board members, staff and patients. Thus, such diversity in spiritual and religious backgrounds leads to massive opportunities for the mission statement to be interpreted from many different perspectives, with such interpretations then influencing and determining the manner in which medical care and services are offered and received. Lack of clarity in the mission statement leads to lack of clarity in purpose and fails to provide a clear and concise foundation upon which the hospital builds its? identity and determines its? daily practices and operations. Currently, the mission statement is such that it allows for the board of directors, the staff and patients to use their own personal/professional identities as well as values, ethics and beliefs as the basis for decision-making."

Abstract
This paper is based on a case study of Faith Community Hospital and is an attempt to identify several problems at the hospital and the issues arising from those problems. The paper delineates the steps in the identification process and presents an analysis of the problems the hospital is facing. Following the analysis and identification, recommendations for solutions and a plan for implementing the solutions are presented.
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 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.

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
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 discusses the Faith Community Hospital case study. The article is based on a business scenario where the employee, Chris Smith, starts a new job as the Executive Assistant to the CEO. The problem is that the Hospital's mission statement is outdated and borderline religiously discriminatory. The paper shows that many organizations face challenges of uncertainty particularly with regard to understanding the organization's purpose.
From the Paper
"Business environments in the 21st century are becoming increasingly complex as a result of globalization. As the world becomes more inter-connected the assimilation of various organization theories will translate into contemporary work environments that are cross-culturally based. This organizational melting pot scenario will not come without problems, thus it is important for decision-makers to research and examine legitimate business case studies. These types of working examples are demonstrative of changes in competitive environments, charts responses of decision-makers in terms of corporate level strategy, and what the outcomes are post problem."

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."

Abstract
This paper discusses the challenges start-up hospital Peach Tree Hospital has been encountering. By evaluating the methods they?ve employed to date, as well as survey results from their employees and continued communication, this paper helps Peach Tree?s administrator and human resource director to clarify exactly where the problems exist. From this information they can then begin to take steps to make the changes necessary to overcome their challenges.
From the Paper
"Although the staff of Peachtree Hospital ?had spent the better part of its time recruiting and training employees? (Hellriegel et al., 2002, p. 289) the administrator of the hospital felt the organizational efforts had not been as successful as they should have been. The human resource director, although acknowledging that there were still organizational issues that needed to be addressed, wrote these off to start-up conditions, as the hospital had only been open for less than one year and would be resolved in a very short period of time. To quantify the organizational problems, a survey was administered to most of the 1,200 employees of the hospital and revealed some startling results."

Abstract
This paper examines the elements of an Emergency Response Plan of a hospital in the event of a disaster striking. This paper specifically discusses the elements of the emergency plan for Bellevue Hospital in lower Manhattan, both before and after the attacks on the World Trade Tower. The way in which a local hospital should be concerned with protecting people, information systems, and communications is examined in this paper.
From the Paper
?The primary concern for a hospital is the protection of people. These people not only include the victims, but also management, employees, and families of the victims. It is necessary to be able to quickly assess the number and skill levels of the staffing available. In the early moments of a disaster, this may be difficult, as was the case in the World Trade Tower attacks. Bellevue Hospital in lower Manhattan received word that the trade towers were on fire. They quickly and efficiently invoked their Emergency Response Plan. They waited and prepared for a flood of victims. In this case, instead of being understaffed to handle the load, they found themselves with many willing and capable volunteers and unfortunately, no victims. This created another situation, in which, when a victim did come in they were stormed by people willing to help.?
