1POLICY ANALYSIS AND IMPROVEMENT
The public policy taken by the healthcare organization is creating of incentives for the
health care providers for helping them to experiment with the system of care management
and patient involvement approaches that will be helpful for enhancing health-related results
and reduce the expenditure.
Strengths
Aging health care facilities and processes, artistic medical equipment’s, effective
investments in healthcare informatics and high emphasis on community healthcare projects of
improvements. Other strengths of the CVS health organization, policy initiative include high
performing staffs provided with a clear understanding in between the employees of the
organization and its goals with an effective focus on quality improvement. The policy is
based on incentives for the health care providers for helping them to experiment with the
system of care management.
Healthcare organization is a public administration service. In this context, it would be
justifiable for most of the citizens of US to expect a public administrative theory to be highly
established due to its capability to reach into the lives of Americans (Sallis, Owen & Fisher,
2015). Therefore, based on a situation of the policy it can be stated that according to the
theory of administrative management in relation to principles of natural justice no employees
must be judged in their own cause and both sides of the conflict must be considered in case of
any bias. Therefore, the policy is innovative as it has the ability to influence the policy with
an experience in the development of the community.
Weakness
Employees within the workplace are needed to define their success as not many
employees are doing their work. There is a major difficulty in managing the delivery of
policies service and advocacy of the policies. Moreover, collaborating with other

collaborators takes much amount of time along with the necessities of more resources. Many
specific incentive policy, experiment, and priorities require particular approaches for working
with different partners within the region. In this context, the diversity of the collaborative
organization also requires different approaches. There may be financial difficulties within
some incentive policy and experiment of employees and particular groups within the
workplace (Watts et al., 2015). As a result of which there may be challenges taking place
surrounding the misunderstanding of the concepts related innovation resulting to vague
prioritization of the adopted policies.
Opportunities
There are various opportunities for the healthcare organization. The organization will
be provided with an opportunity of fostering cross-sector care provision initiatives that will
help to stimulate the recognition and advancements of the new incentive policy and
experiment and associations. This will help to explore the new type of care provisions for the
well-being of the patients as well as providers. This will also provide them with the
opportunity to improve and enhance the standards of the systems and operations given out by
the healthcare organization (Obama, 2016). By doing so, they will be able to enhance and
empower the results based on the collaborations in between different employees with an
opportunities from different international networks.
Threats
There might be various threats to the policy initiative within the healthcare company
due to the increased amount of competition and difficulties in managing the local strengths
while promoting internalization within organization. There might be issues such as cut down
of budgets owing to equipment’s; experiments care systems, wrong perceptions of incentives
systems. Apart from these, lack of collaboration amounts group of employees within

workplace and insufficient support from the care providers during the phase of development
may be a problem (Berry & Berry, 2018). Emerging partnering organisation coming from
non-US region may pose threat owing to poor quality business environment.
