Popis:	The operating environment in the health care industry is turbulent—organizations are expected to adapt or die. This paper addresses the structure of a strategic planning process for long-term-care organizations. Nursing homes, assisted living (personal care) facilities, continuing care retirement communities, adult day services centers, hospice programs and home-and community-based agencies face both opportunities and threats. The authors recommend an eight-step process for strategy making: plan to plan; external analysis; internal analysis; vision; matching current and future strategies; strategy choice; action and linkage to operations and budget. A case example illustrates the concepts. Long-term-care leaders are encouraged to plan for their future or face a future planned by competitors and regulators.
