VISION:
- a compelling description of how the organization will or should operate at some point in the
future and how customers or clients are benefiting from the products and services of the
organization.
- a vivid imagination or anticipation of the future; what you wanted to happen in the future.
4 ELEMENTS OF A VISION:
1. It is written down.
2. It is written in present tense, using action words, as though it were already accomplished
3. It covers variety of activities and spans broad time frames
4. It balances the needs of the providers, patients and the environment
Example of a VISION :
The Medical Colleges of Northern Philippines is the country’s premier school in the Allied Health
discipline producing globally competent health care professionals contributing significantly to the
upliftment of the quality of life of the individual, family, community and the whole humanity.
MISSION:
1. A brief statement identifying the reason that an organization exists and its future aims or
function.
2. This statement identifies the organization’s constituency and addresses position.
3. A mission is a call to live out something that matters or is meaningful.
QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED:
1. What do we stand for?
2. Who are we here to help?
3. What principles or values are we willing to defend?
Example of a MISSION :
The mission of Medical Colleges of Northern Philippines works for the holistic development of the
person – a man conscious of his eternal destiny, aware of the dynamics of change, challenged by
the needs of daily living, cognizant of national and international development initiatives and ready
to meet the demands of life in pursuit of his objectives in whatever socio-economic level he
belongs.
PHILOSOPHY:
1. Flows from the purpose or mission statement and delineates the set of values and beliefs
that guide all actions of the organization.
2. It is the basic foundation that directs all planning toward that mission.
Example of PHILOSOPHY :
God has bestowed man with different gifts and potentials which are inherently good. These gifts
which vary from one person to another when given proper inspiration can be developed for his
own good and his fellowmen for and in the glory of God.
VALUES:
1. Include the overall priorities in how the organization will operate
2. Beliefs that guide behavior
GOAL:
1. The desired result toward which effort is directed.
2. It is the aim of the philosophy
3. Should be measurable and ambitious, but realistic.
4. Should clearly delineate the end product.
Example of a GOAL:
OBJECTIVES:
1. How the goal will specifically be achieved (includes time frame and is measurable).
2. Are similar to goals, however, are more specific, and measurable because they identify
how and when the goal is to be accomplished.
Example of OBJECTIVE:
POLICIES:
- Plans reduced to statements or instructions that direct organizations in their decision
making.
Policies can be:
1. Implied policies- neither written nor expressed verbally. Have usually developed over time
and follow a precedent.
Example – maternity leave, wearing of ID before entering the campus
2. Expressed policies –delineated verbally or in writing.
Example – formal dress code, disciplinary procedures
Example of a POLICY:
Before a nursing student reports in the clinical area, he/she must undergo RLE Orientation
conducted by the MCNP Clinical Instructors. Failure to attend the said orientation denies the
student admission in the areas of exposure, both the clinical and community setting, hence, the
NO ORIENTATION, NO DUTY POLICY stands.
PROCEDURE:
- Plans that establish customary or acceptable ways of accomplishing a specific task and
delineate a sequence of steps of required action
Example of a PROCEDURE:
RULES:
1. Are plans that define specific action or nonaction.
2. Describe situations that allow only one choice of action.
3. Are fairly inflexible, so the fewer rules, the better.
4. Least flexible type of planning in the planning hierarchy.
Example of a RULE:
1. A red light means stop
2. An employer demanding their employees to arrive at 8 AM
