Overview
Many different external factors can have an impact on healthcare delivery. This has meant that leaders across healthcare organisations have had to develop adaptive solutions and think outside the box. All responses demonstrate different uses of leadership styles and perspectives.
For this assessment, you need to select 2 key issues to focus on from a leadership perspective following the development of a PEST analysis in your executive team. Ensure that you thoroughly investigate what a PEST analysis is and include a slide with at least one issue identified from each of the PEST areas including in: Political, Economic, Sociocultural and Technological.
Examples of issues are noted below, but not limited to:
• Political-i.e. changes to employment legislation, taxation models, instability.
• Economic-i.e., Workforce issues and concerns. reduced budgets
• Technological-i.e. Changes in the healthcare environment-i.e. technological developments, AI data management.
• Demographic issues- i.e., an ageing and chronically unwell population.
You need to provide background to the 2 issues identified for further discussion, as well as identify the type of leadership style that would assist in dealing with the issues concerned and provide guidance in a time of crisis.
