Assignment: Healthcare organizations require astute handling of strategy implementation. The processes must be followed with a contingency plan in place for failed strategic objectives leading to the goal.
• Review the stages of implementation in Chapter 13 of your textbook.
• Review "340B Drug Pricing Program Oversight" case in your textbook (Chapter 13).
• Provide a written analysis of the implementation phases that were used/excluded in the "340B Drug Pricing Program Oversight" case.
• Explain what the literature (external scholarly source) suggest(s) regarding health implementation strategy regarding drug pricing.
• Conclude with a summary of your research.
Your paper
• Must be four to six double-spaced pages in length (not including title and reference pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
• Must include a separate title page with the following:
• Title of paper
• Student's name
• Course name and number
• Instructor's name
• Date submitted
• Must use at least four scholarly sources in addition to the course text.
• Must document all sources in APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
• Must include a separate reference page that is formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
Stages of implementation planning.
It is also important to consider whether the new policy can be implemented effectively using existing organizational structures, managementsystems, and funding approaches or whether there is a need to establish a new structure designed to deliver the changed output.
Work Breakdown
This stage is a detailed analysis of the tasks generated by the implementation requirements of the policy. Political decision makers are likelyto establish important dates (milestones) for implementation, dates that may or may not be achievable. Then the implementing organizationmust get to work:
• Identifying the tasks to be performed, such as submitting a detailed budget, hiring personnel, finding office space, issuing rules andregulations, establishing advisory committees, and specifying reporting requirements
• Identifying the units and individuals responsible for each task and gaining their commitment to complete the task within a specific timeperiod
• Establishing reporting responsibilities for the status of each task
• Including coordination tasks as well as intradepartmental tasks
• Developing a master schedule and an estimated time of completion for the project along with mechanisms for monitoring progress
Depending on the complexity and urgency of the project, the project implementation staff may choose to use any one of a number of projectmanagement techniques and their associated software to show what the resulting project duration will be and whether the original target islikely to be met. If not, implementation planners may decide to undertake a number of efforts to "crash" the project in order to remain onschedule.1 This process works best when the estimate of how long an activity will take comes from the individual or team that will beresponsible for that activity. This encourages participants to make realistic estimates and then commit to meeting their own estimates. Forexample, the Obama administration shortened the testing period for the insurance exchanges and failed to have top-level oversight of theprocess to determine whether this mission-critical system was up to its assigned tasks.
