...Strategic Planning and Nursing Process Every decision-making process requires the basic steps of problem identification, intervention and evaluation. In healthcare, both the nursing process and strategic planning involve proper identification of a problem, gathering of data, formulating a plan, and deciding which intervention is the best to implement. After the intervention, evaluation is necessary. Strategic planning and the nursing process both are essential when developing medical informatics. The goal of this paper to identify the nurse’s role in both strategic planning and the nursing process, describe the differences between them, and how nurses can become more involved in strategic planning in informatics. Differences Between Strategic Planning Process and the Nursing Process Strategic planning is a process that focuses on the organization’s vision for the future. It is a management tool that aligns the organization’s vision with its mission, values, long-term goals, services, people served and resources. It also includes setting policy guidelines. It is a long-term process, where reassessments are made based on the internal and external changes occurring with the organization. (Hebda and Czar, 2013).

All this before it starts to go through the formal planning process.

...the organization (Business Dictionary, n.d.). In this paper, I will discuss the primary function and the role of human resource management in an organization’s strategic plan. What is human resource management? Human resource management can include a broad spectrum of specialties within an organization. Some specialties may include recruiting, payroll, policy, training and development, and performance management (Mazurek, n.d.). Depending on the size of the organization, each specialty may be handled by an individual department or they may all be handled by one person. The main goal of human resource management is to make sure that the right people are working in the right place to accomplish the organization’s goal. What is the primary function of human resource management? Human resource management identifies the primary mission of the organization and then discusses what talent is needed to meet the mission along with which areas need improvement. Some of the major functions of human resource management include recruiting, payroll (paying and compensating with benefits), training and developing, ensuring compliance, and creating a safe work environment (Mazurek, n.d.). A company’s strength is built on the quality of its employees, thus the importance of recruiting. Human resource professionals have a responsibility for recruiting and...

...recruitment and retention and technological change. Recruitment and retention of the appropriate staff who meet the job requirements is very important. Currently as we know, there is a shortage of qualified healthcare professionals, especially nurses. Health care is growing at a rapid rate and finding skilled, qualified health care professionals is a challenge. Regardless of how rapid the growth, the challenge containing cost of the organization makes it difficult for HR managers to fill current positions (Pizzi, 2011). So not only is it difficult to find and recruit qualified health care professionals, maintaining current professionals is also difficult because of the requirement to contain cost. It leaves little room to pay appropriate salaries or provide raises to current professionals. Another trend is training and development to handle the technological changes in health care. The many advances and changes in health care require constant training and development for employees to remain effective and maintain the standards for health care (Pizzi, 2011). With the constant advances in technology, requirements consistently change for positions so training is essential. Some organizations are adding help solutions such as talent management and workforce planning solutions. These performance management practices will assist in...
