Comparison of the Transformational Model and Accountable Care Organizations Tiresia Kliegl National University HCA 402 Healthcare Administration COMPARISON OF THE TRANSFORMATIONAL MODEL 2 Abstract Healthcare organizations are not only going through technological changes but changes in management practices as well. These changes will challenge healthcare organizations practices, policies, and patient attitude. Comparing the transformational model (TM) with accountable care organizations (ACO’s), this paper will explore how each model improves quality of care, access to care, and reduce cost while discussing their differences.

Strategic planning is matching the strengths of an organization to its available opportunities (textbook). To effectively plan strategically the organization must first analyze and collect information about the industry, in which the organization operates. Strategic planning focuses on the interaction with environmental forces, which include competitors, government, and suppliers (textbook). One organization may be able to get more from a supplier than a competitor based on the established relationship. The ability to implement strategic planning is critical for the survival of any organization.
Given the pressure surrounding service delivery in the healthcare organizations, the board of members and senior administrators are seeking practical ways of refining the way they set priorities under resource constraints versus the increasing demand. The ethical challenges surrounding the practice environment pose weighty concerns among the healthcare leaders on effective decision-making principles and approaches that could help them in setting priorities. Accordingly, strategic planning plays a critical role in healthcare organizations. Perera and Peiró (2012) consider strategic planning as an entirely valid and valuable tool that guides organizational practices. The process needs to be programmable, rational, systematic, holistic and integrates short, medium, and long-term aspects to help healthcare organizations to focus on the relevant enduring transformation for the future (Perera & Peiró, 2012).
Many of the times we go into change and train (education) but there is always a resistance and we always struggle with and we can never measure it correctly to show the effectiveness of our trainings and process improvements. Chapter 19 explains the resistance to change and I think in today’s world this will be a huge concept to understand when leading a healthcare organization. Healthcare for many years has been said to be “old school” and it has in many ways when it comes to the culture. As leaders, we first have to learn how to adapt to change ourselves, learn the tools that are needed to drive this change, and then ensure the organizations voice is heard and inputted into these changes. Using chapter 19 tools and theories can help drive that change effectively.
Strategic planning serves as a guide or an outline of the organizations activities and resource allocations on its day-to-day operations (Daft, 2013). It is a management tool that demands leaders rise above the tumult of day-to-day operations to address the future of the organization’s products/services, markets served, competitors faced, and the dynamic business environment in which we find ourselves (Taugher Change Catalyst Consulting, 2009). The strategic planning will be used to improve the communication processes in the organization the author belongs to, which is BayCare Health System. It is an organization comprised of 14 hospitals across Tampa Bay and Central Florida regions with the mission is to improve the health of all we serve through community-owned, health care services that set the standard for high-quality, compassionate care (BayCare Health System, 2016). It helps meet goals specified in the plan, which contributes to the long-term success of an organization.

Introduction Effective leadership by professionals is crucial in all healthcare organizations. The way workers define leadership has changed from generation to generation, however, a common description of leadership is the motivating behavior of an individual directing the activities of a group towards a shared goal. (Ward, 2017) Influencing group activities and coping with change are some of the key aspects that an individual in a leadership role will be working towards. According to an article, "management is about coping with complexity" and "leadership is about coping with change", therefore, both aspects are critical to a successful leader.
The corporation’s cultural values include compassion for patients, teamwork and an aspiration to win, and driving results with determination, urgency, and accountability.

Healthcare organizations’ goals includes provide quality, value priced, safe health care services and ultimately, improve health outcomes. In addition to this primary goal, healthcare organizations also seek financial stability, community value, ethics and employee engagement. In this context, leaders are asked to efficiently use the available resources to optimize the managerial approaches to direct their teams towards more productive environment and positive interactions with patients. Healthcare setting-unlike business setting-is a more complicated system that consists of different professional teams and departments that usually don’t share the same objectives or planning strategies due to the diversity in the services provided.
