History Organizational Survival Strategies. This
discussion has two options. Please choose either
Option A or Option B to respond to. Be sure to
indicate within your post which option you
chose. Option A Hospitals frequently seek ways
to ensure survival. Sometimes an adversarial
climate cannot be avoided when the action that is
being considered is controversial. For example, a
hospital may seek to expand its market reach by
opening an inpatient drug treatment facility in a
small suburban township. The county where the
township sits has seen a steady rise in heroin
addiction, as well as an increase in hepatitis
cases. As a manager, identify the three possible
categories of clients within this new clientele
network. Give at least one example of a client
for each category and explain the reason for your
decision.

ASHFORD HCA 459 Week 1 DQ 2 the Challenge of
Change For more course tutorials
visit www.tutorialrank.com   History - General
History The Challenge of Change. Change is
usually positive, but it can also be difficult to
embrace at times. Employees can be resistant to
change, while managers may feel that it is
necessary for organizational stability. Discuss
the challenge of change as it relates to health
care organizations. What is the overall impact of
change on the organization, its employees, and
its constituents, and what role does the manager
play as an agent of change? In addition to
responding to these questions, review the
examples of successful change in your textbook
and choose two examples to discuss in greater
detail. What did you learn from these examples?
In each case, how did the individuals overcome
the barriers to change, and what were the
resulting benefits?
