Grand Valley Hospital is opening a new facility to perform coronary artery bypass graft surgeries and other cardiac-related surgeries
Planning of the project includes applying for a Certificate of Need from the state, hiring architects to design the unit, and seeking bids from potential contrac-tors. Determination of the number of beds needed and recruitment and education of new staff also were included in this plan. This process is referred to as ____. a. Coordinated planning
b. Project planning
c. Strategic planning
d. Tactical planning
B
Tactical planning is a short-term process that provides the specific details of implementing broader goals. For example, the strategic plan may address "broadening the care of our high-volume clients." In this case, the care of the population with heart disease would be targeted as an area to examine how the current health care system is or is not meeting the needs of that population. A decision to expand surgical services as outlined would be supported by hospital, area, and statewide statistics. The tactical plan would list the actions that need to be performed to carry out this endeavor. Project planning is a piece of tactical planning. Coordinated planning is a distractor.
