Healthcare Report: Analysis of Staff Burnout and Solutions - Auckland District Health Board

Source of the Challenge

Discuss the purpose of the report, briefly describe the chosen healthcare organisation ( Auckland District health board, hospital under Auckland district health board) , clearly identify the challenge (staff burnout) for health managers in that organisation and provide an outline of the content of the report.

Provide an analysis of the source of the challenge through conducting a PESTLE analysis. 

Does the challenge (staff burnout)  come from the internal or external environment, and which factors are involved?  What are the underlying causes or issues?  Is it a threat or an opportunity?  What relevant theories and concepts are applied from your research to support this?

Conduct and evaluate the impacts of the challenge (staff burnout) on the chosen healthcare organisation (Auckland district health board and hospitals) and its stakeholders.

How does the challenge (staff burnout) affect the organisation (Auckland district health board and hospital), positively or negatively, and in what ways?  Which stakeholder groups are affected by the challenge (staff burnout) and how? What are the external threats and opportunities presented by the challenge?  What relevant theories, concepts and/or analytical tools are applied as part of your evaluation?

Refer to your Impacts analysis and evaluate the options available to solve the problem.  Include the preferred solutions and why they were chosen.

One solution may be all that is required. However, in some situations a combination of solutions are needed rather than just one.  What levels of risk are associated with the various options?  Of all the available options that you have identified and evaluated, which are the most effective and realistic?  How innovative are they?  Why have you chosen these options?  You must apply relevant theories and concepts to assist with the evaluation of your options and to justify the chosen options.  

Discuss how the most appropriate solution will be implemented and provide an evaluation of how the success of this will be measured.  

According to your research, how should health managers plan to implement the preferred solution(s)?  How will they know whether the solution(s) will achieve the intended outcomes?
