Rrmc Strengths And Weaknesses
RRMC, like many other healthcare organizations has some internal and external strengths and weaknesses. Due to the large volume of hospitals located within driving distance of Etowah County, there is a significant threat of substitutes in the market, in particularly when it comes to individuals needed emergency, as well as, non-emergency care. However, RRMC’s revamping of its Emergency and Cardiac Care departments was a significant strength because now it was able to provide state of the art care to patients. RRMC possessed another impactful strength as it was rated number 1 in the state of Alabama for cardiovascular surgery and recognized for orthopedics and stroke programs by HealthGrades.com (Richards & Slovensky, 2004).

As a result, 134 employees were laid off to keep the hospital out of the red. This led to the closing of two specialized nursing units, which had a few trustees and several physicians extremely upset with the board’s decision. Charlie’s relationship with the board and medical staff had changed over time because of his inability to control the number of matters of importance due to a changing external environment. Consequently, Charlie lost his ability to make necessary decisions in a timely manner. With four physicians on the board, Charlie met with resistance when he tried to prepare the board for the economic downturn and the publics decline in the use of physicians and hospitals.

Instead of listening to what Charlie had to say, the four physicians persuaded the board to support private practitioners and engage in fee-for-service medicine. The board assured Charlie that the physicians would keep the hospitals needs and interests above those of the medical staff. Charlie appointed Bill Handy as the COO of Riley Memorial Hospital and turned over all internal operations to him. Although this new appointment was fully endorsed by the board, it was never understood or accepted by many of the physicians. The physicians at Riley Memorial Hospital considered Charlie’s role to primarily serve the interests of the medical staff. Many physicians believed Charlie did…
