Identify the model or tool for analysis of the selected problem, and provide rationale.

Health care has become a data driven industry that practices evidence-based decision making. Whether
the issue is clinical or financial, health care leaders are expected to analyze problems using logic,
established tools, and data. Effective leaders engage team members in the problem resolution process,
and encourage a wide variety of perspectives. Once the problem is clearly defined, the health care leader
is charged with selecting an appropriate, established framework or tool with which to analyze the problem. Research, critical thinking and team collaboration are important facets of problem solving.
In this assessment you will have an opportunity to reflect upon the industry and organizational contexts
before engaging in application of a tool for problem analysis. You will consider the organization’s setting
with respect to level of care, mission, strategy, operations and culture. Additionally, you will think critically about legal, regulatory, ethical, and risk management operational issues that relate to the selected
problem.
