Theory of Change and Program Portfolio According to the theory of change, for any change to take place, there should be a comprehensive description and illustration as to the way and reason the change would be the thing that is expected in that specific context. The entire theory focused on the specific gap that described as lacking for a program to work. All the goals are set, and the condition necessary is also explained. How the initiative would work should be explained together with the set goals to be achieved when the changes take place. Having the theory`s ideas in mind, access to care was the major issue identified. Proposed programs initialized included an increase...

...Patton-Fuller Hospital Business Systems Analysis Steven McDowell CMGT 554 September 16, 2012 Matt Mancani - Instructor Business systems enable companies to meet customer demands for speedy and efficient delivery of services. With the introduction of the internet into most traditional business systems the technology has forced a reevaluation of how companies do business and the new opportunities to improve performance and ultimately sales. Functional business systems support business processes across the company. Specifically designed systems aid marketing, sales, accounting, finance human resources, warehousing and other functions in making their roles more efficient. The trick is to unite these systems internally as well as complementing partners who may be using different systems. Incorporating cross-functional enterprise systems help to bring these together. Systems like Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Supply Chain Management (SCM). Enterprise Collaboration Systems (ECS) enhances communication and collaboration among teams and work groups within and outside of organizations. Patton-Fuller Community Hospital has a business system that weighs heavily on Human capital to be fully maintained (Apollo Group, 2012).

...current business system in place Patton-Fuller Community Hospital has a business system that weighs heavily on Human capital to be fully maintained. The flaw in this system is that the communication between departments is not reliable or not there at all. Hospitals rely on open and fast communication with every staff member and departments. The system that Patton-Fuller is currently using has one challenge that cannot be overlooked and that is the human error when inputting the patient information. One missing piece or one incorrect entry can cause major chaos. The error can even be the difference between life and death. Patton-Fuller has a need to integrate the system to allow better communication amongst departments. When upgrading or integrating the system the communication is not only better for the departments, but also for the outside vendors, and most important for the patients. Patton-Fuller Hospital depends on its staff but also depends on the vendors who bring them supplies, and the technicians who install machinery and maintaining of the machinery. The communication between all that is involved needs to be efficient and reliable. The current business system is not able to accommodate this at the moment. Making a suggestion to change the challenges is to integrate the system. Patton-Fuller is not a company that is designed on profit but is designed to the care of patients. CRM (Customer Relations Management) software is a great way for Patton-Fuller to integrate...
