Title: Strategic Plan for Quality and Safety Improvement in a Care Setting

**Previous essay attached**
The feedback you received on your care setting environmental analysis has been positive. Consequently, you have been asked to select one of the potential improvement projects you noted in your analysis and create a full, 5–10-year strategic plan to achieve the desired quality and safety improvement outcomes. You will develop your strategic plan, using either an AI approach (addressing the design stage), or by building on your SWOT analysis and applying a strategic planning model of your choice.
Develop strategic goal statements and outcomes that reflect specific quality and safety improvements for your care setting. You should have at least one short-term goal (just-in-time to one year) and one long-term goal (five years or longer).
Determine realistic timelines for achieving your goals.
Explain how your short-term goals support your long-term goals.
Note: For plans based on an AI approach, the goal statements and outcomes are provocative propositions that may be refinements of the positive, yet attainable, goals that you proposed during the dream phase of your inquiry. For plans based on a SWOT analysis, the goal statements and outcomes are specific, measurable, and applicable to the area of concern in your analysis for which you proposed pursuing improvements.
Justify the relevance of your proposed strategic goals and outcomes in relation to the mission, vision, and values of your care setting.
Analyze the extent to which your strategic goals and outcomes, and your approach to achieving them, address:
The ethical environment.
The cultural environment.
The use of technology.
Applicable health care policies, laws, and regulations.
Explain, in general, how you will use relevant leadership and health care theories to help achieve your proposed strategic goals and outcomes.
Consider whether different theories are more applicable to the short-term or long-term goals of your strategic plan.
Evaluate the leadership qualities and skills that are most important to successfully implementing your proposed plan and sustaining strategic direction.
Identify those leadership qualities and skills that are essential to achieving your goals and outcomes and sustaining strategic direction.
Identify those leadership qualities and skills that will have the greatest effect on the success of your plan.
