It is very detailed and precise and an essential part to any organization. When planning for a healthcare organization, I would make sure to include the department leaders, important clients, and maybe even employees in the planning process. That way the plan can be made to fit the necessities and requirements of every group. I would also focus on the objectives and goals of the organization. It is also important to have a plan that is flexible with realistic goals. Change is inevitable and the plan needs to change according to the different changing requirements. For the actual development of a plan I would follow a basic plan outline which would include: the purpose/ mission/ philosophy/ goal, the objectives, the functional objectives, policies, procedures, work standards, performance standards, training objectives, management by objectives, and operational goals (Liebler & McConnel, 2012).

Although a health care manager is loaded with multiple tasks and in a high pace setting, an admirable health care manager applies all the roles and functions and looks past the reality that it is a just a “job”. The health care manager applies the roles and functions through skill, developing a strong awareness of self and others, knowing how to interact with others, digesting information from those below and above him or her, and by being able to make the best decisions when necessary (Lombardi & Schermerhorn, 2007). Last, when a manager is able to organize, plan, control, and lead, they are in fact applying the functions of a health care manager. One of the basic and initial functions is to plan. “Planning is necessary to ensure proper utilization of human & non-human resources” ("Functions of management," 2011). As a health care manager is able to make plans, he or she will be able to utilize this function throughout the rest of his or her work day and through applying the other functions as well. “On a daily basis, health care managers must recognize performance problems, and opportunities, make good decisions, and take appropriate action” (Lombardi & Schermerhorn, 2007. p.…
The first function of management is planning. Planning is "specifying the goals to be achieved and deciding in advance the appropriate actions needed to achieve those goals." Planning includes analyzing current situations, looking into the future of the company, deciding what activities the company should look into and determining resources needed to achieve the goals. In my place of employment, at a local hospital, planning is used throughout every aspect of the organization. We use planning through patient check-in and check-out, how to get the patients to come to the hospital, the procedures that the doctors perform, the jobs of the nursing staff, and how each employee does their job. The planning behind how patients are checked in and out is planned in a way that all new employees are trained and how they are trained on these new programs. Planning in how to get the patients to come to the hospital is through the reputation that was built through the years and how well developed the organization has developed over the years. Planning in how the doctors perform their procedures on their patients. The way that planning is done through doctors procedures is through how they were taught when they attended college and then the education they received in order to work at the hospital. The nurses' jobs are also planned because the nurses have specific jobs that they need to do before the doctors even go into the see the patients. Planning is used through all of the hospital each day in the way that each job is performed. Planning is helpful because it allows for every employee to know what they are supposed to do everyday and what their job title means.…
Planning is described as the function preceding all other functions and allows a smooth and proper flow through the remaining functions by establishing objectives and goals and following procedures and rules that have been set.

The manager was made to realize from his own work how he had three years of planned backlog. This was seen and accepted by the…
