By 2015, the Division of Trauma, Burns, Critical Care, and Emergency Surgery had swelled to 10 surgeons producing 74,315 RVUs at an aggregate 7.38 cFTE (10,070 RVUs per 1 cFTE) for the year. In January 2016 Dr. Donald Green and Dr. Rifat Latifi exited the university and the health system, followed by Dr. Peter Rhee in June 2016, reducing the division to 7 surgeons. In November 2016 Dr. Arpana Jain was recruited-in, bringing the division up to 8 surgeons, with an open slot for a 9th surgeon being actively recruited. As of November 2016, the division has produced 60,283 RVUs at an aggregate 5.96 cFTE (10,115 RVUs per 1 cFTE) for the year.
Dr. Rhee had served as the Division Chief since his faculty appointment in September 2007, thus his departure left somewhat of a void in the division; however, Dr. Terence O’Keeffe (who was one of Dr. Rhee’s first recruits and also serves as Chief of Staff) was immediately appointed Interim Division Chief and has stepped-up to take the challenge head-on, working closely with Dr. Neumayer and the administrative leadership team to ensure continuity of operations and continued positive trending in the division. At the close of 2016, the division is actively working on a SWOT analysis with the assistance of Professor Emeritus Charles Putnam MD, PhD. The SWOT analysis will lay the groundwork for future strategic planning, including determination of a permanent Division Chief.

“The outcome of the research phase is not only consensus about the facts of the organization and its environment; it also gives focus to the next step, that of formulating the organization’s vision for itself” (Berman, 2006, p. 70). Organizational mandates and the type of stakeholders that need to be engaged are often identified prior to developing mission, vision and values. Once an understanding of mandates and stakeholders are clear, then the design phase can continue. The MDHHS strategic planning team and its designated stakeholders develop statements to describe what the department does and why it exists, decides upon principles and beliefs that will guide the continued work of the department, and a statement of the ideal future state based on the work the department intends to do (mission, vision, values, respectively). In addition, the information collected in the research phase is compiled and assessed and any additional data needs are identified and summarized. Organizational strengths and weaknesses and external opportunities and threats (SWOT) or challenges (SWOC) are identified in this phase (Berman, 2006, p. 71).

Many entities outside of nursing are making initiatives to measure the quality and safety of the patient experience such as the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). The CMS Partnership for Patients Program (PPP) is a group of over 8000 hospitals, representative of health care organizations, state governments, employers, and unions. Partnership for patients is focused on providing safer, more reliable and less costly hospital care. Other organizations such as not- for-profit groups focus on improving relationship between patients, families and health care professionals. The goal of enhancing this relationship is to ensure the provision of high quality care, delivery of safe care, reduction of the cost of care, and enhancement in the transition of care from provider to the next level of care. Even though nurses strive to provide safe and high quality care, they often lost their hope in patient satisfaction scores, performance improvement and quality measurement. Nurse are willing to provide the best care to their patients and committed to the process of improvement, if their efforts are resulted in better patient outcomes. According to the 2014, issue of the New England journal of medicine, a CMS report of 2013 confirmed that the partnership for patients at an estimated cost of $1 billion, showed early elective deliveries in the CMS hospital engagement networks were down by 48% and nationally, readmissions were
