Healthcare managers today work in challenging environments with limited resources, high patient expectations, staff shortages, and constant change. Managers must make decisions that balance efficiency, effectiveness, and quality of care.
This assignment asks you to reflect, research, analyze, and respond using the concepts covered in Weeks 25, including management theories, planning, leadership, and organizational structure.
How can a healthcare manager use management theories, planning, leadership, and organizational structure to make good decisions and improve performance, while still ensuring high-quality patient care?
In your response, you should:
- Explain one management theory and how it helps managers solve real problems
- Discuss how planning helps managers use limited resources wisely
- Explain how leadership can motivate healthcare staff and support teamwork
- Reflect on how organizational structure can help or slow down decision-making
- Support your ideas with research and real healthcare examples
There are no right or wrong answers. What matters most is how clearly you explain your ideas and connect theory to practice.
