Quality Analysis
The quality improvement plans of both Sunny Brooks and Joseph Brant hospitals reveal that both uses five quality dimensions in laying their plans for the coming year as well as in analyzing their previous year’s performance. The five dimensions include Efficiency, patient-centeredness, Efficiency, Timeliness, and Safety. The plans are also endorsed by the board of directors as well as the Chairman of Quality Committee. There are however major differences in the plans layouts. Sunny Brooks Hospital plan is made up of three parts i.e. the narrative which consists of a brief overview of the areas of focus and strategic goals. The first is a work plan consisting of a detailed spreadsheet detailing the hospital’s targets, plans, and recommended indicators. Lastly, a progress report that outlines the key milestones achieved from the previous year’s plans. Joseph Brant Hospital plan, on the other hand, is divided into two parts: the overview and progress report and spreadsheets containing indicators and targets. Whereas sunny Brooks lists five indicators of improvement, Joseph Brant has eight indicators of development. The plan of sunny Brooks Hospital is well detailed as it just lists the achievements, targets, and indicators without further explanation of how they were achieved or how the hospital intends to meet them. This is quite evident considering that their spreadsheets are four pages in size. On the other hand, Joseph Brant Hospital has a twenty-eight-page spreadsheet that clearly outlines the methods to be used in achieving the outlined goals.

Question 2
The perfectionist mentality can be achieved through understanding the two types of perfectionism i.e. the healthy and neurotic perfectionism. The neurotic perfectionism lets one’s achievements define who they are while healthy perfectionism is positively motivated by high standards which act as a guide to improved performance. To remove the mindset, one has also to stop seeing things in only two dimensions: success and failure. Incorporate the third dimension in between for example I was almost there in case you did not achieve what you wanted but made great strides. It is also good to start respecting oneself. Avoid self-blame and start congratulating oneself for any positive step accomplished.
Question 3
My organization’s culture is a Conventional corporate culture. The company strictly operates by policies and expectations. The use of the cut and dry approach to issue leads to poor inspiration on the part of employees. Supervisors are always on the watch for any violations of the company’s policies, and this makes us only to do what set or necessary is. It, therefore, inhibits performance.
