1HEALTHCARE ASSIGNMENT
Introduction
Continuous and gradual increase in the healthcare interventions development of strategies
and increased involvement of the patients has developed the environment that compels the
healthcare organisations to include strategic changes (Sondaal et al., 2016). Besides these, there
are aspects that require complete adaptation of the new strategy so that they can be provided with
effective intervention (Goodman et al., 2016). In the United States of America, there is an
organisation namely the Banner healthcare that also requires strategic development and
involvement so that people around the organisation could be provided with improved healthcare
(Smith et al., 2016).
In this assignment, the readiness of the Banner HealthCare would be discussed and with
that a strategic plan to address the issues related to network growth, nurse staffing, resource
management, and patient satisfaction could be addressed. Finally the comparison of the
organisation with the Singapore airlines would be conducted to understand the involvement of
any cultural issues that could influence the practices mentioned for Banner healthcare.
Description of chosen organisation and its strategic planning as well as readiness

could be addressed. Further, thorugh the usage of involved technologies, the leaders are planning
to expand their facilities so that need of the community could be served (Bannerhealth.com,
2019).
The care management overview report published by the Banner University medicine
mentioned that they serve the community and determines their readiness upon three aspects,
including priority for the people, excellence and development of improved results (Agarwal et
al., 2015). This helps the organisation to understand the compassion, dignity and respect of the
patients. Further, it also helps to understand the expectations of the patients so that healthcare
professionals could understand the need and requirements of the patients while working in the
care system (Burstin, Leatherman & Goldmann, 2016). The readiness of the organisation could
be understood from the fact that the organisation aims to develop itself as a national leader that
would be recognized for its clinical as well as the innovative organisation that helps to determine
the quality of involved patient’s life. Further to address the increased pressure and to
accommodate the revised need of the patients, the organization is focusing upon maintaining its
