UOP - Organizational SWOT Analysis: A Scholarly Project

Organizational SWOT Analysis
Developed in the late 1960s, the SWOT analysis, representing strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, has be used to evaluate a project or business. This evaluation can then be used in the development of a decision-making plan of action based on the findings in each area. The SWOT matrix is broken down into positive and negative characteristics or elements that are either helpful or harmful to the established objective (Yoder-Wise, 2015).
A SWOT analysis of the organization reveals that the strengths include having a long history and positive reputation within the community, providing comprehensive services, being a recognized teaching facility, a geographically central location with easy access, and a strong commitment to the community. Although not specifically defined within the mission and vision statements for Community Medical Centers (CMC), quality is inferred in its desire to improve the health status of the community it serves. By incorporating the principles of best practice and continuous improvement Community Medical Centers strives to build a culture of safety (Community Medical Centers, 2018).
Organizational weaknesses are on going budget shortfalls and continued staffing shortages. The major threats to the organization by not implementing this proposal include the potential for adverse patient outcomes that could lead to litigation. Costs to the organization related to the identified weaknesses and threats could far outweigh the costs associated with implementation of the proposal (Reynolds, 2018).

WHO KNEW ?

Well, you can't always trust what you see on television. I'm sure you've seen COPS on television and see them haul people off to jail for fighting and physical assault / battery. Well, it doesn't really work that way. The attacked person has to actually press charges, even if there is visual evidence such as a torn shirt, bruising to the arm, etc. They can only haul in the agressor if it is a domestic dispute or when the parties involved live under the same roof. So, needless to say, some of us were very upset to find out that there was nothing the cop was going to do other than give a "stern" warning. Obviously the agressor has also watched COPS, because when the officer began to question her regarding the incident, she denied everything and then claimed to be a diabetic having a hypoglycemic episode. You would expect that since this happened at work the employer would be responsible to take some kind of action as well. Anyways, if you have a co-worker that b...

MORE BASEBALL

This is our life right now! We had our annual dinner/auction on April 22nd and overall made around 20K including $725 for the SF Giants quilt. The aerial photos are courtesy of DJ and our new camera.

Morgan made a baseball diamond for her entry (surprised?) and Dalton made a school bus. I think they will win, but then again, I'm the mom right?
