 1. INTRODUCTION

Setting of organizational objectives is the starting point of managerial actions. An

organization’s end results for which an organization strives is termed as “mission”,
purpose, objective, goal, target etc. Many times these terms are used interchangeably as
all these denote end results.

 II. MISSION STATEMENT

A Mission Statement defines the organization's purpose and primary objectives. Its
prime function is internal to define the key measure or measures of the organization’s
success and its prime audience is the leadership team and stockholders. Mission
statements are the starting points of an organization’s strategic planning and goal setting
process. They focus attention and assure that internal and external stakeholders
understand what the organization is attempting to accomplish.

 III. VISION STATEMENT 

Vision statements reflect the ideal image of the organization in the future. They
create a focal point for strategic planning and are time bound, with most vision
statements projected for a period of 5 to 10 years.  The vision statement communicates
both the purpose and values of the organization. For employees, it gives direction about
how they are expected to behave and inspires them to give their best. Shared with
customers, it shapes customers’ understanding of why they should work with the
organization.
   IV. PHILOSOPHY

  Definition

The statement of philosophy is defined as an explanation of the systems of beliefs

that determine how a mission or a purpose is to be achieved. An organization’s
philosophy states the beliefs, concepts and principles of an organization. 

The philosophy statement flows from the purpose or mission statement and

delineates the set of values and beliefs that guide all actions of the organization. It is the
basic foundation that directs all further planning toward that mission. A statement of
philosophy can usually be found in policy manuals at the institution or is available on
request.   
                                   
V. PHILOSOPHY, MISSION, VISION OF COMMUNITY MISSION

We think of "health" defined very broadly not just helping people when they get
sick but helping them feel fully engaged in a community where they feel they belong and
fully engaged in activities that promote their well being.

and monitoring and treatment of chronic health condition
6. We believes that lifestyle, nutrition, and mental health play an important role in
physical health, so we take a whole-body approach to wellness.

CONCLUSION

          Philosophy, mission and vision are major components in the functioning of an
organisation.A mission is not simply a description of an organization by an external
party, but an expression, made by its leaders, of their desires and intent for the
organization. The purpose of a mission statement is to communicate the organization’s
purpose and direction to its employees, customers, vendors, and other stakeholders. A
mission statement also creates a sense of identity for its employees. Organizations
normally do not change their mission statements over time, since they define their
continuous, ongoing purpose and focus.A vision statement is a company's road map,
indicating what the company wants to become and guiding transformational initiatives by
setting a defined direction for the company's growth. Vision statements undergo minimal
revisions during the life of a business, unlike operational goals which may be updated
from year-to-year. Vision statements can range in length from short sentences to multiple
pages. Vision statements are also formally written and referenced in company documents
rather than, for example, general principles informally articulated by senior management.

philosophy of education, more precisely, philosophy of nursing and philosophy of
education is the application of the fundamental belief of nursing and education in the

 CONCLUSION

Mission, vision, value statements, objectives and philosophy act as a basis for any
organization. So an administrator has to be vigilant while formulating
these.The philosophy of healthcare is the study of the ethics, processes, and people which
constitute the maintenance of health for human beings. (Although veterinary concerns are
worthy to note, the body of thought regarding their methodologies and practices is not
addressed in this article.) For the most part, however, the philosophy of healthcare is best
approached as an indelible component of human social structures. That is, the societal
institution of healthcare can be seen as a necessary phenomenon of
human civilizationwhereby an individual continually seeks to improve, mend, and alter
the overall nature and quality of their life. This perennial concern is especially prominent
in modern political liberalism, wherein health has been understood as the foundational
good necessary for public life

INTRODUCTION

Setting of organizational objectives is the starting point of managerial actions. An

organization’s end results for which an organization strives is termed as “mission”,
purpose, objective, goal, target etc. Many times these terms are used interchangeably as
all these denote end results.

MISSION STATEMENTS

A Mission Statement defines the organization's purpose and primary objectives.

Its prime function is internal – to define the key measure or measures of the
organization’s success – and its prime audience is the leadership team and stockholders.
Mission statements are the starting points of an organisation’s strategic planning and goal
setting process. They focus attention and assure that internal and external stakeholders
understand what the organization is attempting to accomplish.

 Mission and purpose are used interchangeably, though at theoretical level, there is
a difference between two. Mission has external orientation and relates the organization to
the society in which it operates. A mission statement helps the organization to link its
activities to the needs of the society and legitimize its existence. Purpose is also
externally focused but it relates to that segment of the society to which it serves; it
defines the business which the institution will undertake. 

Dimensions of Mission statements:

According to Bart, the strongest organizational impact occurs when mission statements
contain 7 essential dimensions. 

1. Key values and beliefs

2. Distinctive competence
3. Desired competitive position
4. Competitive strategy
5. Compelling goal/vision
6. Specific customers served and products or services offered
7. Concern for satisfying multiple stakeholders
Structure of a mission statement

The following elements can be included in a mission statement. Their sequence can
be different. It is important, however, that some elements supporting the accomplishment
of the mission be present and not just the mission as a "wish" or dream. 

 Purpose and values of the organization (products or services, market) or who are
the organization's primary "clients" (stakeholders)
 What are the responsibilities of the organization towards these "clients"
 What are the main objectives supporting the company in accomplishing its
mission

VISION STATEMENT 

Vision statements reflect the ideal image of the organization in the future. They
create a focal point for strategic planning and are time bound, with most vision
statements projected for a period of 5 to 10 years.  The vision statement communicates
both the purpose and values of the organization. For employees, it gives direction about
how they are expected to behave and inspires them to give their best. Shared with
customers, it shapes customers’ understanding of why they should work with the
organization.

Developing a Vision Statement  

1. The vision statement includes vivid description of the organization as it effectively

carries out its operations.
 2. Developing a vision statement can be quick culture-specific, i.e., participants may
use methods ranging from highly analytical and rational to highly creative and
divergent, e.g., focused discussions, divergent experiences around daydreams,
sharing stories, etc. Therefore, visit with the participants how they might like to
arrive at description of their organizational vision.

3. Developing the vision can be the most enjoyable part of planning, but the part
where time easily gets away from you.

4. Note that originally, the vision was a compelling description of the state and
function of the organization once it had implemented the strategic plan, i.e., a
very attractive image toward which the organization was attracted and guided by
the strategic plan. Recently, the vision has become more of a motivational tool,
too often including highly idealistic phrasing and activities which the
organization cannot realistically aspire.

PHILOSOPHY

  Definition

The statement of philosophy is defined as an explanation of the systems of beliefs

that determine how a mission or a purpose is to be achieved. An organization’s
philosophy states the beliefs, concepts and principles of an organization. 

The philosophy statement flows from the purpose or mission statement and

delineates the set of values and beliefs that guide all actions of the organization. It is the
basic foundation that directs all further planning toward that mission. A statement of
philosophy can usually be found in policy manuals at the institution or is available on
request.                                            

Nursing service philosophy

 The nursing service philosophy is a statement of beliefs that flows from and is
congruent with the institution’s philosophy. The belief system of the nursing philosophy
should reflect the nursing division member’s ideas and ideals for nursing and should be
endorsed by others.

Components of nursing service philosophy

1. Nursing /nursing practice

Nursing is a health care service mandated by society; the practice of nursing stems from
the beliefs and ideals of the nursing service department.

In the first area, nursing theory, the task for the nurse manager is to decide whether and
how to incorporate theory. Three different methods may be considered.

 One method is to use an eclectic approach, selecting ideas and constructs from
various nursing theories and incorporating these into the philosophy.
 A second method is to use one theory throughout the philosophy.
 A third approach is to adopt a theory, then attach the entire document describing
the theory to the philosophy and refer to the theory at appropriate places in the
philosophy.

A second set of values related to nursing/nursing practice center around practice,

education and research.

Values specific to education are essential content for most departments of nursing. The
beliefs may focus on the need for continuing education off staff members. The third value
related to the concept of nursing practice is research and this includes the department’s
commitment to applying research findings or supporting others in their research efforts.
The beliefs held about the areas of impact of administration will influence the formation
of philosophy. The last content area related to nursing/nursing practice is nursing’s role in
overall organization

2. Patient /client

The patient is the main reason for the institution’s existence, examine patient’s
rights. Beliefs concerning patient's rights will be influenced in part by institutional
policies and practices.

3. Nurses

Nurses are essential in the day-to –day operations of the hospital organization. They
are the providers of nursing acts which result in quality, care. To keep the organization
functioning smoothly, it is necessary to address values related to and beliefs about nurses.
These values and beliefs center on nurses rights, advancement criteria and responsibilities
to other health professionals, as well as professional organizations.

  CONCLUSION

organization. So an administrator has to be vigilant while formulating these. Mission
statements are a way to direct a business in the right direction and they play a part in
helping a business make sound decisions which can be beneficial to the revenue stream.
Without a mission statement, businesses may struggle when it comes to planning for the
future.
