ORGANIZATION MISSION, VISION, VALUES AND SHARED GOVERNANCE
Everything we do follows a protocol that was learned through teaching, trial, and error. Additionally, everything that an organization does is based upon similar protocols. Success is always the preferred result, however we all; including organizations, encounter failure. As we grow we develop new, more complex goals. These goals become our focus and our “mission” is to reach attainment. Furthermore, the goals of an organization hold the same purpose and is known as the mission statement. A mission statement is the organization’s goals, it states why they are in business and how they plan to better the field in which they belong. It is a care plan of sorts that assesses their field

Furthermore, when breaking down the Cleveland Clinic’s mission statement we see that there are three main areas; (1) care, (2) investigation, and (3) education. The organization’s efforts can be seen in the fact that patient care (1) is improved through proper education (2) of the latest innovations and continual research (3). As an employee of an organization, you are expected to represent their beliefs and goals, in other words, you must be the brand they wish to …show more content…
As for the Cleveland Clinic, the section of data analytic remains with the trend of being patient centered. Furthermore, it is important to explore which data analytic approach is chosen and whether it is centralization, decentralization, or in between. When asked about the data analytic approach they have chosen, Eric Hixson of the Cleveland Clinic responded with “where does data fill a gap, to influence decisions, direct or indirect, about patient care? So our focus really is on what the outcome is that I’m trying to influence, not so much on the product itself. So, what does it do, rather than what it is? That is our focus” (2015). With that being said, the approach employed by the Cleveland Clinic would be that of in
This particular focus initiatives encourage and support organizations in their efforts to make patient safety
St. Jude Children 's Research Hospital is a non-profit organization to help kids with cancer or other diseases. St. Judes started on February 4th, 1962 in Memphis, Tennessee.

Mission statements will ensure that shareholders, employees and customers clearly understand what the company stands for. Mission statements also describe the organization’s overall goals. Mission statements should be written in a way that when someone reads the statement, they have an understanding of the activities that are performed in the organization. In this paper I will compare the mission statement of Chick-Fil-A Foundation with my personal mission statement. Chick-fil-A Foundation Chick-fil-A Foundation is a non-profit organization that’s sole purpose is to provide leadership and guidance to children and also support education in the local communities.
Personal and professional development are key facets that most people constantly strive to improve. One way to ensure that growth is constant and a way to evaluate it, is through a Mission-Vision-Values statement. Radiography students at Loma Linda University develop one of their own while in the Medical Radiography program. Loma Linda University’s mission, visions, and values align with the Medical Radiography mission, vision, and values with a few personalized aspects. The values are descriptions of how each organization or person achieves their mission and vision.
Their mission will guide them to make more informed choices about what they fund, give support to, and why they started their organization. Their vision statement
Overall, patients are going to be rendered more diagnosis-centered care, with an interdisciplinary look at each case inpatient, as well as outpatient. Patients will be given a work-up and plan for success, no longer as a “quick-fix”, but a long term plan of care to control chronic diseases outside of the acute care setting. Looking at a study from Connecticut, “By revamping the discharge process and working with post-acute providers, UConn Health Center/John Dempsey Hospital, Farrington, CT, reduced thirty-day heart failure readmissions from 25.1% in August 2010 to 17.1% in March 2012. Key initiatives included follow-up appointments within seven days in the hospital heart clinic, revising nursing education, adding automated dietician, social worker, pharmacy, and cardiology consults with the diagnosis order set, and collaborating with the community providers to smooth the transition of care” (“Hospital Initiative”, 2012).
An organization’s mission statement refers to a brief description of the organization’s purpose. The mission statement articulates to the organizations purpose to the public (Ward, 2005). The mission of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is to “fulfill President Lincoln's promise: "To care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan" by serving and honoring the men and women who are America's Veterans” (Department of Veterans Affairs, 2015). Since its inception, the Department of Veterans Affairs has undergone many changes however; its core mission remains unchanged. The VA’s mission statement serves as a guide for making organizational decisions and provides the framework for the future.
Introduction It is important to understand the organization has a shared vision and must work together (although process and programs may be different) to achieve a common goal. For example, in an educational organization the goal may be to produce college and career ready students. The organization will expect stakeholders to foster academic excellence with rigor. Another way to meet this goal is to develop trade skills using programs and processes within the organization. A third focus may be intense professional development for stakeholders to also reach the goal.
Mission Statement for West TN Healthcare “To improve the health and well-being of the communities we serve while providing exceptional and compassionate care” (WTH.org, n.d.). The purpose of the mission statement is to declare what goods or services a company or organization intends to provide (Kinicki & Williams, 2016). Based upon this premise, the mission statement for West TN Healthcare shows that the organization intends to provide health care that is both exceptional and compassionate and that by doing so its purpose is to improve the health and well-being of the communities surrounding it (WTH.org, n.d.). West TN Healthcare’s mission statement does meet the criteria set forth as a viable mission statement.
If employees are not familiar with the company’s goals and what the company is expect from them they won’t be able to perform good. Successful organizational culture requires a team work. Johnson should establish the espoused values of the company. These are the stated values and norms that are preferred by the company (Kreitner, 2013, p.63). Johnson should set the basic assumption which values employees (Kreitner, 2013, p.65).
The goal is to improve the health and safety of patient while also providing care in a cost-effective manner to improve the outcome for both the patient and the health care system at large. According to Melyn and Fineout-overholt(2005)Evidence-based practice should be a problem-solving approach to clinical practice that integrates a systematic search for critical appraisal of the most relevant evidence to answer a burning clinical question.
Mission statements are typically future focused and are not essentially constructed on present-day. They should be a reasonable viewpoint from which to look down the road. These statements should not bound the development of the organization’s premises through incorrect
The goals created for the organization have to be aligned with the strategic goals and overall mission of the entire organization.
It relates to the purpose of the company and what they want to achieve in the future. The mission goes beyond the vision as it explains the company’s goals and objectives more clearly. It also mentions how this will be accomplished. The last step is to create a strategy based on the defined vision and mission. (Miller, 2014) Tesla’s mission is ‘to accelerate the advent of sustainable transport by bringing compelling mass market electric cars to market as soon as possible’.
