Stakeholder Analysis

Stakeholder analysis is a very important aspect of healthcare strategic planning. Aspiring healthcare leaders need to be good at this. The assignment provides you with an opportunity to conduct your own stakeholder analysis for an actual community. This is an important exercise, so make the most of the opportunity. Let’s see who the key stakeholders are in your own healthcare marketplace.

Consider your own community, or a community in which you would someday like to serve as healthcare administrator. Look around the community thoroughly.

Identify your primary and secondary stakeholders for the healthcare organization in the community, and explain their importance. For each stakeholder, explain why you included them and the process for choosing them for your community. Stakeholders can be identified by position or by organizational name (e.g., economic development officer, hospice organization, etc.).

Your assignment should be a minimum of two pages in length and should include a title page and reference page (title and reference pages do not count toward the total page requirement). To supplement your discussion, you should include at least two sources, and one should be your textbook. References and citations must be provided using APA style. All sources used must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations.

Explain why proper identification of viral and bacterial infections is key to selecting the proper antimicrobial agent.

/in /by

Antimicrobial agents are essential components in the treatment of various bacterial infections as they help to kill or prevent the growth of microbes such as bacteria, fungi, and protozoans. Prior to the discovery of antimicrobial agents, treatment options for patients with bacterial infections were limited. For many patients, treatment often resulted in the amputation of limbs or even death. Today, treatment options for bacterial infections typically have a more positive prognosis. Due to the various types of infections presented in patients, it is essential to be able to identify the underlying cause of the infection—whether bacterial or viral—before recommending drug treatments. This will help you identify whether or not an antimicrobial agent would be appropriate and which specific agent would target the infection. In this Assignment, you consider the appropriate use of antimicrobial agents for infections.

To prepare:
  • Review this week’s media presentation on principles of antimicrobial therapy, as well as Chapter 8 of the Arcangelo and Peterson text.
  • Consider the categories of antimicrobial agents.
  • Think about differences between viral and bacterial infections.
  • Reflect on why proper identification of the infection is key to selecting the proper antimicrobial agent.

Write a 2- to 3- page paper that addresses the following:

  • Describe the categories of antimicrobial agents.
  • Describe differences between viral and bacterial infections.
  • Explain why proper identification of viral and bacterial infections is key to selecting the proper antimicrobial agent.
