post 1
How do you create and develop relationships with your stakeholders?
First, I would identify who my stakeholders are and who will be interested in or influenced by my ideas on the project. I would then prioritize stakeholders by listing and meeting with all stakeholders, then prioritize them based on their interests and influence. I would then build trust to increase confidence, problem-solving, and decision-making. Communication is the foundation of any relationship so I would communicate regularly, clearly, and transparently with stakeholders about your goals, progress, challenges, feedback, and expectations.
Are some stakeholders more important than others?
Each stakeholder group has a role to play, and different levels of influence on business operations. But not all stakeholders are created equal. The most important stakeholder group of organizations are employees. They come ahead of customers, suppliers, community groups, and especially far ahead of shareholders. ( Understanding the Influence and Impact of Stakeholder Engagement in Patient-centered Outcomes Research: a Qualitative Study. J Gen Intern Med. 2022, Apr). The importance of a stakeholder can be determined by assessing their power and interest. The power is influence they have on the company’s ability to operate
Interest and the interest is the impact of the company’s actions on them
How might this view affect your relationships?
This may affect our relationships by determining the type of relationship that’s established and the amount of time that the relationship will last. This could also establish boundaries as well.

It is important to create and develop relationships with stakeholders in the healthcare industry. Stakeholder engagement is new in health care and has become a necessary component of guideline development and implementation. Effective communication is one important tolls that is needed to build a relationship with stakeholders. Collaboration is another as stakeholders are an important role in how health care is provided and presented to the community. Some stakeholders are more important than others. Patients are very important stakeholders and will determine the success of a health care facility. Communicating, collaborating, and consulting with patients about their health care wants and needs can help to create a cohesive relationship. The fact that some stakeholders are more important that other affects the view of the relationship by prioritizing those who are more important and have more impact on the health care facility. While everyone fights for equality there is always the need to prioritize those who impact a health care facility more than others.There are guidelines that are used to ensure stakeholder engagement. These guideline ensures that stakeholders can make informed decisions with evidence based statements (Petkovic et el., 2020).
