First Assignment – The Great Western Hospital High-risk Pregnancy Care
· Framework is included in the syllabus.
· Focus in the Great Western Hospital case is to review the culture of this leadership team and the institution and its limitations.
o The hospital has had communication failures.
o The institution has had its head up its butt about its successes and following its “models” and frameworks that have nothing to do with what they need to achieve.
