Description
Based on extensive experience in the business sector, A. H. Mesch developed a series of questions to determine if an organization needs environmental analysis. Answer each of the seven questions posed by A.H. Mesch in relation to your current employer (organization and location), for example Erlanger Health System, Chattanooga, TN. These are fundamental organizational questions that apply to every organization. Even if you are not presently employed in health care, you still will be able to respond to the questions.
Additionally, refer to the five health care segments identified on pages 45–46. For each segment, identify a specific health care organization within the health care environment for your current employer.
Part 1
Answer the questions Mesch poses and provide a short example every time you answer “yes” to a question.
Part 2
Identify a specific health care organization for each of the five segments within the health care environment for your current employer. For example, The University of Tennessee Health Science Center, College of Medicine, Chattanooga is a specific example of a “secondary provider” that provides resources to Erlanger Health System in Chattanooga, TN.
Part 3
In your professional opinion supported by professional and scholarly sources, does your organization need to conduct an analysis of the general and health care environments? Why or why not?
