Write a 4-6 page strategic change management plan that describes how organizational
culture affects health care management practices and the types of ethical challenges that
can come with organizational change. Explain the role of personal integrity in managing
change. Describe strategies that can be used to prevent or resolve ethical challenges related
to organizational change.IntroductionIt can be said that one of the most profound
organizational influence challenges for health care managers is that of balancing
stewardship and fiscal responsibility. Conflicts of interest, billing practices, fraud, and abuse
are just some examples of ethical issues related to the organizational influence of finance.
The concept of justice plays a central role in ethical finance decision-making and
management. As leaders attempt to balance market justice and patient justice-related
priorities, they must still consider and protect the justice of their staff and community in the
process.It is also important for you to understand the value of using formal ethical decision-
making processes for managing ethical issues within the health care organization, and how
these processes differ from business processes in other industries. By developing an
ethically focused mindset, adopting a personal moral stance, and choosing a personal ethical
philosophy, you are establishing a strong foundation on which to build formal decision-
making processes and steps. Common errors, or decision traps, often occur in decision-
making processes and impede success. You must be able to identify and reflect on various
decision traps in order to support the development of your own ethical decision-making
skills and awareness.Of course, it is equally important to have a strong, ethically oriented
organizational culture to support leader success in meeting these challenges with integrity.
The health care manager plays an integral role in implementing policies and procedures, as
well as modeling an ethical mindset and behavior.PreparationFor this assessment, imagine
that you are a department manager in a mid-size health care organization that is in the
process of undergoing a major change (perhaps a merger, buy-out, or restructuring). Your
director has called a meeting of all department managers to develop a strategy for taking
the organization successfully through the change. A major component of managing this
change is safeguarding the organizational culture, which is currently very positive and
based on ethical principles and practices. In addition, the organization has quality ratings in
both patient safety and organizational integrity.At the end of the meeting, the director asks
each manager to draft a strategic change management plan to help them guide their

department through the change. To help you get started, the director has provided a
statement to be used in each plan. Each plan must consider the role of ethics and ethical
management in organizational culture. You must bring your plan to the next strategy
meeting in two weeks.Review the resources provided to see how they may help you in
completing this assessment. Conduct your own search in the Capella library and on the
Internet to find authoritative resources on the topic of organizational culture and ethics.
You will need at least three resources to support your work.Organize your strategic change
management plan logically and use headings and sub-headings as appropriate. Follow APA

your thesis or opening statement for this assessment:Creating and maintaining a positive
organizational culture requires exceptional awareness, communication, and management
skills on the part of leaders in any organization in any industry. When a shared identity is
created and acceptance of the overall goals and mission of an organization is strong, ethical
issues can more easily be prevented and resolved. This is vitally important in the health
care industry as every aspect of management faces crucial ethical elements.Then, in the rest
of your assessment, complete the following: Explain how organizational culture can affect
ethical health care management practices. Be sure you consider this from the perspective of
both a negative organizational culture as well as a positive one. (Hint: think about other

safety, and organizational integrity. Explain the role of personal moral integrity in

evidence-based strategies health care leaders can use to prevent or resolve ethical
challenges related to changes in organizational culture.Additional Requirements Include a
