Details:

For this assignment, you are required to interview a senior executive of a health care organization. You must ask the following questions and also come up with two additional questions of your own in preparation for the Operations Analysis Diagram assignment:

1) What type of health care organization are you affiliated with? What is your position within the health care organization? Describe your role and scope of responsibilities.

2) Describe the relationship between your health care organization’s vision, mission, goals, and strategic plan.

3) Tell me about a time your organization’s operational performance affected, either positively or negatively, its ability to deliver services and achieve performance goals.

4) Describe the process you take to deliver a particular type of service offered by your health care organization.

5) Describe one aspect of your business operations. Submit a short reflection, 200-250 words, of your interview experience along with your interview questions and responses.

Your reflection should include the following:

1) Your reaction to the interviewee’s response to each question. Were you surprised? Did you agree or disagree and why?

2) Additional questions you have or information you would like to have had based upon the interviewee’s response.

Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

Post your interview questions, including the two additional you developed, responses, and reflection to your instructor for this module and to the discussion forum under the appropriate thread in Module 4

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
