1ORGANISATIONAL CAPACITYThe consumers are well informed about their health care needs due to whichthe health care organisations need to provide more effort to develop the strategicmovement for building capacity. Daly, Speedy and Jackson (2014) defined that‘capacity building’ is a strategic move adopted by the organisations to strengthenthe skills and efficiency level to retain the sustainable position within anenvironment or community. The essay concentrates on such capacity buildinginitiative determined by Sydney’s Whitlam Memorial Hospital to deliver the highquality health care services to the community people. The essay will discuss thedevelopment of the appropriate organisational structure that will become muchhelpful for the hospital to accomplish the goals, missions, and objectives. Theobtained idea from the case scenario identifies that the current organisationalstructure maintained within the hospital has the considerable limitations.Therefore, the essay will discuss the fruitfulness of a different organisationalstructure that address the mission and vision of the hospital. Furthermore, the essaywill also provide a brief description about the strengths and limitation of theproposed organisational structure in terms of addressing the organisationalstrategies of WMH. The organisation is a collaborative firm where the individuals work togetherto acquire the determined goal or objectives. According to Sullivan (2013), theorganisational mission, structure, vision, and objectives are integral to manage the
2ORGANISATIONAL CAPACITYworkforce for meeting the internal and external environmental needs. It has beenobserved that the health care sector has been facing numerous barriers to maintainthe consistency in this dynamic world. Mickan and Boyce (2006) indicated thatdetermining the organisational structure develops the understanding of theappropriate organisational principles as well as the organisational culture. Asdescribed by Maddern et al., (2006), the organisations need to follow theappropriate regulations to structure the organisational activities and capitalinvestments for achieving the predetermined goals.

On the other hand, thevision statement clarifies the strategic focus of the organisations and the method ofachieving the determined goals. The observation of the mission, goals, and visionof WMH will be helpful to identify the strategic initiatives that can help inachieving the purpose of delivering quality care to the community people. The

The appropriatestructure helps in establishing the appropriate communication flow that developsthe better quality services. Hence, the achievement of the mission depends on theappropriate organisational structure. Each of the organisational structures has limitations or weaknesses. The casescenario highlights that WMH has been following the bureaucratic organisationalstructure to provide the health care services to the community people. It becomesimportant for the management team to review the current organisational structureto identify the underlying strengths and weaknesses. Sullivan and Garland (2013)observed that the bureaucratic organisational structure has the clear focus onaccountability as well as the authority that helps in improving the efficiency levelof the organisational functionalities. This characteristic can be considered as one ofthe major strengths that help the organisation to maintain the systematic approachto formulate any internal function. The bureaucratic organizational structure helpsin clarifying the administrative policies suggested for the changes within theworkplace (Speedy and Jackson, 2014).
