AF healthcare service and delivery measures look at current trends with patient care regarding lifestyle risks and behavioral health during routine visits. Outcomes prove that AF’s performance is steadily improving with comparable results to Health Care Data and Information (HCDI) 90th percentile benchmark and a mission to meet and exceed Healthy People 2010 goals (NIST, 2006). In contrast to nationwide trends in chronic illnesses, AF has seen consistent improvements in BMI figures, obesity rates, communicable diseases and diabetes with their patient population due to enhanced clinical responsibility. Recent healthcare reform and the rollout of the Affordable Care Act of 2010 (ACA) re-enforced the concept of high quality care for all …show more content…
Azulay (2012) cites that experienced human resource leaders will always be sure to recruit qualified employees for the organization and maintain those who are already established in the company through refresher courses and other capacity-building sessions quarterly and yearly. Although the case study shows that there continues to be chronic disease concerns among patients, it can be assumed that dedicated, well trained staff have attributed to the positive turnout and maintenance of relationships with patients (NIST, 2006). It is a fact that the environment in Arizona is very competitive in business and organizational paradigm. Further, the case of Arroyo Fresco Community Health Center shows critical health care elements and ways to deal with them through clinical practicals that look to enhance diagnosis and treatment plan for chronic diseases. There are advantages that come with clinical practicals and research where the treatment of the patient gets the best diagnosis and treatment than just mere rehabilitation that only correct …show more content…
Also, the concept of effective management of risks for the healthcare center would be a pragmatic starting point based on the business model and structure it operates. Therefore, the strategy of Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) would go a long way to reposition Arroyo Fresco Health Care Center (Hopkin, 2012). Through ERM, AF will be in a position to define its success in a structured way by promoting a risk management framework that is comprehensive, a factor that would protect the product value and eliminate health care uncertainties. The new strategy will also encourage risk management officers at AF to become more tactical by closing any risk gaps that may arise in the course of a fiscal year (ERM, 2016). However, when implementing the ERM strategy, the management must ensure that AF’s business objectives clearly captures the SWOT analysis based on the macro and micro business environment in the state of Arizona. One possible benefit of adopting the ERM strategy is that AF leadership team will be well positioned to do an accurate assessment of the risk management process against health care standards. One possible detriment of ERM implementation is that AF administration may not be able to rank the health care risks, forcing the CHC to commit finances to
