Identify legal mechanisms to protect the innovation through patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets
For a manager to successfully execute a strategy for a product or process innovation, they must have a strategy for the implementation, which requires flexing their skills in information analysis. Understanding the impact of regulatory requirements and the ethical considerations for the rollout are key factors to developing strategies for a successful launch. Each innovation will have its own considerations, such as protecting intellectual property rights, complying with federal regulations and local laws, or issues affecting the community.
This week, youll present the implementation strategy for your innovation to the executive leadership team and the project management office (PMO) so they can assign resources and put a project team together.

Describe the results of implementing the literacy intervention and remediation activities with the students.
Assessment TraitsRequires LopeswriteAssessment Description
When teaching ELA, teachers must be mindful of the varying literacy skills and abilities each student possesses and create instruction and learning opportunities that can help students practice their skills, particularly when they are struggling with reading and writing. The ability to structure activities that allow students repeated practice in deficit literacy skill areas can lead to improvements and allow students to become proficient in reading and writing.
Part 1: Applying Intervention and Remediation Strategies
With the students you identified previously, implement the literacy intervention and remediation activities you designed in Clinical Field Experience C: Research-Based Intervention and Remediation Strategies. You should meet with the students at least twice, once to conduct the intervention activity and again to conduct the remediation activity with them so they can improve in the skills deficit areas.
Part 2: Mentor Debriefing
After each of the two sessions in which you implement the intervention and remediation activities, meet with your mentor to discuss and take notes about the following. You will submit a copy of your feedback notes.
Obtain feedback on the effectiveness of your implementation of the literacy intervention and remediation activities.
Discuss the students responses to the activities and what was effective in helping students practice their literacy skills.
Identify potential areas for change or improvement in the literacy intervention and remediation activities based on the student response and outcomes.
Use any remaining field experience hours to provide support or assistance to the class as directed by your mentor.
In a 250-500 word reflection, addressing the following:
Describe the results of implementing the literacy intervention and remediation activities with the students.
Reflect on your execution of the literacy intervention and remediation activities and their effectiveness. Include a discussion of both successes and challenges as well as changes you would make if implementing the activities again.

Scenario
You are the CFO of a rural hospital. During a recent review of the organizations financial status, the hospital was deemed at risk for closure. Several factors contribute to the at-risk designation, including the states decision to opt-out of the Medicaid expansion program, the aging population which requires more expensive care, and the changes in reimbursement from Medicare. These challenges have resulted in rural facility closures across the country. As part of the strategic management team, you are charged with reviewing various facility units and making recommendations that may avoid closure. You determine that based on the profitability reports, the OB/GYN unit of the facility is underperforming in several key financial areas.
Instructions
In a written proposal to the hospital CEO, Administrator, and CMO, discuss the following:
Identify potential challenges related to the OB/GYN units performance.
Explain potential trends in the community impacting health consumer utilization patterns.
Explain the potential benefits of reorganization within the unit and how reorganization could improve its financial status.
Recommend a course of action and the implications that those actions will have for patients, providers, and investors (i.e., how might closure affect the community or how might new service offerings, such as midwife services, improve profitability).
Describe how you will ensure that the key stakeholders represent a culturally diverse mix of individuals.

ScenarioAfter reviewing the new proposed vision from Healthy Dynamics that includes updated mission, focus area, and objectives, the CEO has decided to contract a project manager. The project manager understands the importance of identifying stakeholders early in the strategic planning process. The project manager will be responsible for the successful start of the planning strategy, implementation, review, control, and evaluation of the strategic plan. Other tasks include: gathering feedback from stakeholders, identifying areas of improvement, and making recommendations.
The project manager has asked you to provide a strategy map, identifying key stakeholders involved in achieving the objectives of the defined focus area. Some of the major stakeholders in the healthcare industry are physicians, employers, insurance companies, pharmaceutical firms, government agencies, and consumers (e.g., patients and employees). You will also need to make a list of relevant questions to solicit feedback from the stakeholders that will allow you to see where stakeholders stand when evaluated by the same key measures (survey questions).
InstructionsDesign a Strategy Map (data table) using Microsoft Word that includes:
Identifying the key stakeholders.
Describe how you will ensure that the key stakeholders represent a culturally diverse mix of individuals.
Explain how you will ensure that you use a fair, respectful, and equitable selection process for identifying stakeholders.
What business or health industry does the stakeholder represent (e.g., wellness, pharmacy, health plans, non-profit, academia, etc.)?
What are the stakeholders roles and responsibilities as it relates to the strategic plan?
Indicate how often you will meet with the stakeholders.
What type of power (e.g., financial, providers, users, influencers) will the stakeholder have in the success of the strategic plan?
Include a timeline to show when you will engage each stakeholder.
Create a Stakeholder Survey that includes:
Key questions to solicit feedback from stakeholders after your first meeting (both quantitative and qualitative) to identify potential solutions to anticipated issues that may be raised by the stakeholders?
Questions should be aimed at how to improve the effectiveness of the stakeholder meetings and the satisfaction of the stakeholders during the planning process?
