2Background Information, Values, and Ideologies of Community Health Systems OrganizationThe health organization to assess is the Community Health Systems that is a fortune 500 organization situated in Franklin, Tennessee (Liao et al., 2016, pp.11-15). Values and ideologies apparent in the company have made the most significant contribution to making the healthcare useful and great.Community Health Systems have several values that are adhered to, in offeringquality services to the patients. One is on dignity, where the organization upholds that the human life is sacred and thus deserves respect regardless of the condition (Swideret al., 2017, pp. 657-660). The other value by the organization is on compassionate care. The type of responsibility shown by employees in this organization is not only to patients but also to each other. They ensure that every person is treated professionally, with concern and kind. Also, there is the value of community, where the organization works to meet the necessary medical needs of the community that it serves (Lavigne et al., 2017, pp. 1522-1523). For example, the company ensures that the quality of life and health is ensured by services like education on how to prevent illnesses and clinical services. The value of quality is also evident in the organization, where employees and other stakeholders strive to offer the best services to clients (Murillo et al., 2016, pp.280-2860). The workers believe that where people work together, better outcomes are realized within a short time. The last value evident in Community Health Systems is stewardship. In this factor, the organization value trustworthiness stewardship as well as acting based on the high ethical standards that would result in the public in trusting the organization. The ideologies evident in this organization connect the organizational and functioningaspects of politics. However, just like other European organizations, there is no clear explanation on how the ideologies are actively applied in the functions of the organization
3(Giger, 2016). Despite the lack of clear evidence, it could be concluded that the political-ideological aspects determine the policies that are applied to the organization and those left. This is to say that apart from the normal principles that determine the applicability of a policy, the political aspect is also considered. This has made nations in the same geographicallocations, populations or historical tradition, have policies that are different as political ideologies differ. This is because; the governing people do not have similar ideas with other nations and thus makes different policies. This is to say that the ideologies in Community Health Systems are dependent on the decisions that politicians in the region make the policiesmade directly affect issues practiced by the workers in the organization.Health Problem, Urgency and Effects on the Population AffectedThe health problem evident in the organization is depression and burn out, among the nurses. With the fact that the organization is one of the largest in the nation, it is expected that it operates 24/7. This is to say that the nurses’ work based on shifts, where they work either at night or during the day or even both times when the work is too much. This has led to most of the nurses developing depression due to burn out. One of the aspects to consider is the extent of the problem in the organization and others that offer services all the time. One, a study was conducted in 1999, where around 10, 000 nurses were asked about the work where 43 percent of them recorded of having emotional exhaustion that made them claim that they disliked the work (Adriaenssens et al., 2015, pp.649-661). A more recent study was also carried out, in 2007, where about 68, 000 registered nurses were asked about stress in the workplace (Boamah and Laschinger, 2016). They were divided into hospital nurses, nursing home nurses and the operating from other points. The hospital nurses were the most affected by burning out, evidenced with emotional imbalance, leading to behaviors like anger and rudeness to patients. In connection to that, depression prevalence is common among the nurses than any other population in the United
