Planning
DR. CRESENCIO C. QUINTO JR.
PROGRAM COORDINATOR-CON
Planning
- is deciding in advance what to do, how to do a particular task, when to do it, and who is to do.
- it is cognitive process for decision-making, based on facts and information as opposed to a
managers preferences or wishes.
- it must be adaptable and flexible to current realities to ensure that the desired result is
achieved
Planning:
Predetermined action
Poor Planning
- is the failure to set goals, make assessments or provide
for implementation or to anticipate any possible change in circumstances.
Some indicators of poor planning as are follows:
3 Characteristics:
1. It must involve the Future
2. It must involve Action
3. It must have an Organizational Identification of the action which will be undertaken either by
the planner or someone designated by or for her.
Types of plan:
4. strategic or long term plan
5. Short term operational plan and continuous/rolling plans.
1. Strategic Plan
- is the sum total or outcome of the process by which on organization engages in work analysis,
goal setting and strategy formulation for the purpose of organizational growth and development.
- they are usually around 3-5 years, long in nature and are based on explicit assessments of the
competitive strengths and weaknesses of the organization. This type of plan defines the direction and
growth of the organization.
- are usually prepared in the upper levels of management and serve as the basis for operational
plans. In a nursing care setting, a strategic plan would be one which calls for increasing diversity in
nursing and more aggressive recruitment.
Steps in strategic planning:
B. SWOT Analysis
- A tool frequently used to conduct environmental assessments; such as new equipment and technology, escalating cost and prestige of the company and its
impact to society. This stands for:
S- strengths
- refers to assessment of internal environment.
W- Weaknesses
- unmet goals and objectives of the organization as a result of inadequate planning and controlling.
O- Opportunities
- assessment of external environment that provide sources of improvement or change.
T- Threats
- these are factors that may pose hazards, barriers to improvement or change.
Examples:
Example:
- the department budget is prepared by the head nurse of a pediatrics unit. Operations planning
focuses on timetables, target quantities and specifies the persons responsible for the tasks.
3. Continuous or Rolling Plans
- involves mapping out the day-to-day activities. This is the tsk of the staff nurse who has to device
and implement the nursing care plan for the patients, alerting or modifying the plan as necessary
depending n the needs and problems of the patients and the unit to where the plan is applicable.
Reasons of Planning:
1. It leads to success in the achievement of goals and objectives.
a. it brings about behavior that leads to desired actions and outcomes.
b. it makes performance of tasks more meaningful.
c. it helps the nurse relate to what they are doing and their professional goals.
2. It provides for effective use ag available personnel and facilities
Example:
- projecting the number of nurses needed to care for group of patients or ordering enough supplies for a unit.
3. It helps nurses cope with crises and problems calmly and efficiently
- planning is well-through process of predicting future activities, anticipate future problems, and plan for alternatives prevent or cope with potential
problems.
4. It reduce the element of change
a. studying what has been successful or unsuccessful can give the manager a better idea of what to do in the future.
b. through planning one can discover the need for change and innovation, trends and practices to meet current expectations of stakeholders and the
community.
5. Overall, it is necessary for effective control
- this will ensure effective management and capability of workers to meet local and global demands.
Resistance to Planning
- despite the many benefits of planning, many nurse-management avoid it:
Mismanagement of time
- severely compromises an organization’s productivity and result in negative effects across the
board, from the manager to the rank-and-fire.
- When time is mismanaged, work is rushed and becomes substandard, deadlines ate missed,
bad choices are made, employees suffer from fatigue, and even the nurse’s personal lives and
relationships are adversely affected by the lack of time or energy to devote to them.
Principles of Time Management
- “ There is always time for everything if you like to find time”
There are a number of basic principles that managers can use to cultivate good time-management
habits.
1. Planning for contingencies. Think of other option or alternative, if the desired option is not possible.
2. Listening of tasks. Calendar all activities.
3. Inventory. Looking at task done and not done.
4. Sequencing. Prioritizing activities to be done.
5. Setting and keeping deadlines. Do not procrastinate or else noting is done.
6. Deciding on how time will be spent. Indicate time allotted for each activity, set the targets.
7. Delegate. A portion of the tsk can be given to another who can equally accomplish the task on
time.
Multitasking
- results when time is not enough or properly allocated to be able to finish task.
- is a part of daily life. Whether you are driving while talking on the cellphone , sending e-mails
during a meeting or listening to music during work or study, multitasking has become a way of life.
Tools in Project Management
- various tools in project management have been devised such as GANTT CHART, performance
Evaluation and Review Technique and Critical Path Method allow the manager to set the time frame
of the project or activity meant to achieve the goals of organization.
Gantt Chart
- show task and schedule information. The tasks are numbered and listed vertically. A bar shows the
starting date and projected completion date of each task. Color or shading is sometimes used to show
how much of each task has been completed. It is both a management tool and a communications
tool.
Performance Evaluation and Review Technique(PERT)
- is a network system model for panning and control which involves identifying key activities,
sequence them in a flow diagram ang assigning a specific duration for each phase of work.
- a PERT system involves extensive research and development. Multiple time estimates are used
for each activity that allow for variation in activity times, which are assumed to be random, with
assumed probability distribution(“probabilistic”)
Critical Path Method or CPM
Can calculate time and cost estimates for each activity.
This method is used to create a cost estimate using either “ normal”
or “ crash” operating conditions.
NORMAL OPERATIONS:
are those involving the least cost
CRASH OPERATIONS
Have much less available time than under normal
conditions.
CPM
Is useful where time and cost are significant
2 basic approaches:
Centralized Budget
Decentralized Budget
CENTRALIZED BUDGET
Has the middle level manager involved in the planning and budgeting process
with ARA (authority, responsibility, and accountability) place on the
practitioner level.
COMPONENTS of TOTAL
INSTITUTIONAL BUDGET
MANPOWER BUDGET
CAPITAL EXPENDITURE BUDGET
OPERATIONAL BUDGET
MANPOWER
This consists of the wages and salaries o the regular employees and the fees
paid to outside registries through the institution contracs short-term
employees
CAPITAL EXPENDITURE
BUDGET
This involves the large expense of furchasing of lands, buildings, and major
equipment meant for the long-term use.
OPERATIONAL BUDGET
Open-Ended Budget
Fixed Ceiling Budget
Flexible Budget
Performance Budget
Program Budget
Zero-Based Budget
Sunset Budget
Open-Ended Budget
Is characterized by a single cost estimate for each program in the
proposed unit.
Performance Budget
Is based on the functions involved in the operation budgeted. In nursing
care management this may refer to direct nursing care supervision, and
quality control, among other things.
Program Budget
On the other hand, in a program budget costs are computed for a program as
a whole or the entire program it self (e.g a home care program, an outreach
program), rather than for individual activities functions.
Zero-Based Budget
Justifies in detail the cost of all programs, both old and new, in every
annual budget preparation.
Sunset Budget
Is designed to “self-destruct” with in a prescribed period to ensure
cessationof the funded program at a predetermined date.
BENEFITS OF THE BUDGETING
PROCESS
PLANNING
Budgeting stimulates thinking in advance. It lead to specific planning such as the
volume and type of services, the number and type of personnel as well as the
volume and type of equipment and supplies required, as well as the
corresponding cost.
COORDINATION
A budget fosters comprehensive control for those responsible for managing it.

In
nursing management, these concerns include
the size of the hospital, specifically its bed
occupancy and capacity.
g)Development of the yearly Operating Plan document from year one of the
multi-year strategic plan.
h)Development and implementation of the Budget for year one allocation of
funds needed to fund year one.
FUNCTIONAL PLANNING
This model deals with both the actual activities of the organization and
the administrative or internal matters such as work, cost, and resources.

• Ex. Kings of great
Britain,Aristotle,Abraham Lincoln
•
• 2. Trait Theory

Transcend their own traits to people who will
become positive leaders themselves. They are
cheerful,intelligent,and good looking

• 4. Situational Theory/Contingency Theory
• Situational theories propose that leaders
choose the best course of action based
upon situational variable.
• Different styles of leadership may be
more appropriate for certain types of
decision-making.
Situational Theory/Contingency
Theory
• It is also called Contingency theory because the
leadership style will be dependent on the
situation that a leader is faced at the moment.
Among the proponents are Paul Hersey,
Kenneth Blanchard,Fred Fiedler,Vroom and
Yetton and Robert House
4 Leadership Styles(S1-S4)-D1-D4
• S1: Directing/Telling Leaders- The leader
defines the role and tasks of the follower and
supervises them closely. Decisions arew made by
the leader and announced, so communication is
largely one-way
• S2: Coaching/ Selling Leaders-The leader still
defines roles and tasks, but seeks ideas and
suggestions form the followers. Decisions
remain the leaders’s prerogative, but
communication is much more two -way
• S3-Supporting/Participating Leaders
• -The Leader passes day-to-day decisons such as
task allocation and processes to the follower. The
leader facilitates and takes part in decisions but
control is with the follower.
• S4-Delegating Leaders
• Leaders are still involved in decisions and
problem solving, but control is with the follower.
The follower decides when and how the leader
will be involved.
Levels of maturity:
M1 – person is unwilling and unable to perform the job.
M2- person is unable but willing to perform the job.
M3 – person is able but unwilling to perform the job.
M4 – person is able and willing to perform the job.
• 5. Contingency Theory
• Contingency theories of leadership focus
on particular variables related to the
environment that might determine which
particular style of leadership is best
suited for the situation.
• According to this theory, no leadership
style is best in all situations.
• Success depends upon a number of
variables, including the leadership style,
qualities of the followers, and aspects of
the situation.
CONTINGENCY THEORIES
- suggests that managers adapt their leadership
styles in relation to changing situation.
1. Scientific Management
Established by a mechanical engineer
Frederick Taylor, the “Father of scientific
management”.
Postulated that if workers could be taught the
“one best way to accomplish a task”,
productivity would increase.
4 Overriding principles of scientific management:
P – Planning
O – Organizing
S – staffing
D – Directing
CO – Coordinating
R – Reporting
B – Budgeting
5. Human Relations Management
6. Motivational theory
Emphasized that worker output was best when
workers were treated humanely.
Most well-known motivation theories:
A. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs
Stated that people are motivated to satisfy
certain needs, ranging from basic survival to
complex psychological needs.
E. McClelland’s studies
Motivated by 3 basic needs: achievement,
affiliation and power.
F. Gellerman’s stretching
To energize people to enjoy the beauty of
pushing themselves beyond what they think
they can do.
I. Theory M
For management, people are motivated to
work highly complex factors that maybe
biological, psychosocial, social or economic.
7. Total Quality Management (TQM)
Emphasizes doing the right thing for customers
and the end result of this method is to satisfy
customer.
Japanese criteria of TQM:
1. monetary incentives for workers
2. things will work out as they are supposed to
3. user’s feedback as basis for product
improvement
4. things should have aesthetic quality
8. Management By Objectives (MBO)
A process of agreeing upon objectives within an
organization so that management and
employees agree to the objectives and
understand what they are.
Principles of Management
According to Fayol:
1. Division of work – specialization of labor;
encourages continuous improvement in skills
and methods.
2. Authority – the right to give orders and the
power to exact obedience.
3. Discipline – no slacking, bending of rules.
4. Unity of command – each employee has one
and only one boss to give instructions or
assignments.
5. Unity of direction – a single mind generates a
single plan and all play their part in that plan
but only one person is in-charge of the group’s
activities.
6. Remuneration – wage for the services rendered
to the organization.
7. Subordination of individual interests to the
general interest – an employee or group of
employee’s interests should not precede over
the interests of the whole organization.
8. Centralization – decisions are made at the top;
produces uniformity of action.
9. Decentralization – increases motivation of
nurses at lower levels since they are asked to
participate in decision-making.
10. Scalar chain – interconnectedness of people
within the organization from top to bottom.
11. Order – people and materials are in the right
place at the right time.
12. Equity & justice – fair and just treatment
13. Stability of tenure – limited turnover of
personnel.
14. Initiative – thinking out a plan and do what it
takes to make it happen.
15. Esprit de corps – promotion of team spirit
builds harmony and unity within the
organization.
