SWOT Analysis
Draft The CNO constantly needs to evaluate and assess various components of the healthcare organization’s structure, process, and outcomes as they relate to organizational effectiveness in meeting the mission and vision statement. It is relevant to have a method for rapid evaluation and assessment of these components because often, the CNO does not have much time in which to conduct these activities. One method that allows CNOs to effectively and efficiently evaluate and assess healthcare organizations and pinpoint issues is the SWOT analysis. SWOT stands for strengths, weaknesses, outcomes, and threats. The SWOT analysis is easy to administer in order to evaluate the following:
Strengths that are positive and internal
Weaknesses that are negative and internal
Opportunities that are positive and external
Threats that are negative and external
Upon completion of the SWOT analysis, the CNO can set major goals to be achieved and get the organization back on track by linking the SWOT analysis findings to strategic planning.
