Barbara receives an email from her manager asking about the progress of the strategic plan. The manager informs Barbara that UCCO is wanting to implement a new electronic health record (EHR), to improve the overall process of providing quality patient care; and organizational challenges. After her discussion, Barbara realizes that she would need to complete a situational analysis. By performing a situational analysis, planners can help anticipate and manage change. Understanding the internal and external environment is also critical to an effective strategic plan. For the external environment, planners look at opportunities and threats. For the internal environment, planners look at strengths and weaknesses.

Organizational Growth
There has been a rapid growth of urgent care in the UCCO area in the past five years, which is fueled by patient demand for convenient, affordable care. Patients are looking for accessible healthcare that provides access to specialty services. Because UCCO was one of the first in the area, there is an advantage to having an established customer base. However, there are some current challenges that both reflect the urgent care community and nationa trends.
· Growing, over-saturated of urgent care centers in the area
· Messaging that urgent care centers provide only general care services; specialty services not promoted
· Growth in patient volume is driven by demographic trends
· Population of aging patients (over age 65) growing at tremendous rates
· Cost of treatment for the UCCO continues to rise, yet patient cost remain the same
· Insurance cost rising, uninsured patients numbers rising
· Financial profits for UCCO down by 10% each year, for the past 3 years
· UCCO collections for patient balances are increasing
· Compliance audits reveal issues with patients confidentiality and privacy
· HIPPA training not completed as part of new employee orientation
· Customer satisfaction rates declining
