Business Strategy: Acadia Healthcare

Acadia Healthcare is a publicly traded behavioral health company headquartered in Franklin, Tennessee, USA. The company was established in 2005 to create and operate a group of behavioral healthcare facilities across the country. Acadia Healthcare provides a wide variety of services (including chemical dependency and psychiatric/mental services) to patients in different health settings, including specialized treatment facilities, inpatient psychiatric facilities, outpatient clinics, and residential treatment centers, among others (Acadia Healthcare, n.d). As of now, Acadia is the top provider of behavioral health services in the U.S. As of September 2021, the organization operated a group of two hundred and thirty behavioral health facilities with around 10,200 beds across the country

I chose this organization as it relates to my field of study, which is MBA in Medical Management. One aspect of the company that is of particular interest to me is Acadia’s philosophy and management style that upholds flexibility and collaboration. The company values input from staff members, physicians, nurses, and other key stakeholders. The mission of the organization is “to create a world-class organization that sets the standard of excellence in the treatment of specialty behavioral health and addiction disorders.”

Acadia Healthcare trades on the stock exchange. In the stock exchange, the company involves investors in buying and selling its shares. The company trades as NASDAQ, Russell 1000, and S&P 400. Nasdaq Composite is one of the stock market indices that are followed in the US. Acadia Healthcare Inc. is labeled as NSQ: ACHC in NASDAQ.

The company understands that investors are on the lookout for cheap but quality stocks and that is what is offered (Hobson, 2020). Stocks that are low cost but of good quality tend to be the popular market strategy for businesses. The trading share price of Acadia Healthcare is favorable for common investors because of its low cost valuation and high quality.

Good quality is preferred in the market because they represent dependable and solid businesses. It also shows the financial strength of the company apart from its profitability which means Acacia is a financially strong company. The quality of the stocks has been determined by metrics in the F-Score financial test. This score is a widely accepted accounting checklist that is used to determine stocks that improve financial health.

The market price of Acadia’s shares increases steadily over the months, however, investors have to be careful to choose stocks that are genuine bargains instead of falling for the value trap. Acadia factors in the weak nature of the economy thus the affordable prices. Forecasting the potential earnings can be difficult due to many factors and Earnings Yield can be used to determine the future state of the market.

Earnings Yield is used for comparison of the company’s market valuation and its profits. It provides the total value of the stock making it easier for investors to compare various types of stocks in the market. A reasonable Earnings Yield should be at least 5% and Acadia’s value is at 5.02% making it favorable for investors (Hobson, 2020).

ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE 1

In Acadia healthcare some of the key people under the

CEO

is the Chief Finance Officer (

CFO

) and the EVP General Counsel. The CFO is responsible for the financial health of the company. He is the senior financial officer of the Healthcare Company, reporting to the CEO and board of the directors. Under the CFO, the EVP finance oversee the financial records while projecting the financial position of the company (Boykin, 2019). The EVP General Counsel heads the legal department at the company wand ensures the company acts according to the government regulations. Under him there is the deputy general counsel.

Acadia Healthcare has its headquarters in Franklin, Tennessee. It was developed to expand and operate a chain of behavioral facilities in the country. The organization is led by Debbie Osteen who is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) (Acadia Healthcare – Org chart | The Org, 2022). Those under her include Chief Finance Officer (CFO), Chief Quality and Compliance Officer, Chief Medical Officer, EVP General Counsel, Operations Finance, and Senior Vice President (SVP) Strategic Affairs. The organization also has a board of directors. There are more than 20,000 employees across the country as its presence is in 40 states (About Us | Acadia Healthcare, 2022).

Debbie Osteen has been the CEO for more than four years at the organization. Since then she has contributed facilitated the acquisition of facilities as well as spearheaded the establishment of ventures across the country. She has the experience that it takes to be the leader of Acadia. Previously she worked as a vice president at the Universal Services Incorporation and led the organization’s behavioral health division for more than 18 years. She has served as an executive committee member in various institutions (Debbie Osteen – CEO at Acadia Healthcare | The Org, 2022).

David Duckworth the CFO has been working at Acadia since 2011. As a previous director of finance, the CFO has served clients who were in the healthcare field and that equipped him for the current role in healthcare (David Duckworth – CFO at Acadia Healthcare | The Org, 2022). Isa Diaz is the SVP of Strategic Affairs, and she has been serving at the organization since 2019. She has over 30 years of experience as an executive and has worked long enough in the behavioral health sector. She has had leadership roles in managed care setups and hospital institutions.

Leadership plays a significant role in the organization. It has a direct effect on the culture developed at Acadia. Leaders demonstrate and represent the beliefs and the mission the company stands for and they ensure the same values are instilled in other employees (Craig, 2018). Leaders are important in the organization since they push for social good for both the clients and the employees.

An organizational chart clearly defines every individual’s responsibility. It also ensures the workflow at Acadia is well organized and the important tasks are completed timely. This ensures employees are focused on the assigned tasks and productivity is promoted. The internal structure gives leverage and ensures there is accountability which promotes performance in the long run. The future success at Acadia depends on how every leader handles their departments and roles.

Operational efficiency is improved by both leaders and the organizational structure because employees get a clear picture of what is expected from them. Departments therefore can focus on their energy and time on productive tasks that enable the organization to succeed in the future. When the structure is outlined, a road map for internal promotions is provided allowing leaders to create employee advancement strategies.

Acadia Healthcare uses a large organizational structure with multiple leaders at the top and they make most decisions on the internal operations (Zhang et al., 2015). Through the charts, employees can identify their leaders as this minimizes the time and effort used to determine where and who to pass information to. Through charts and structures, the internal workforce needs can be analyzed since the leaders and the executives have a clear picture of their various departments. Through identifying the gaps in the organization, it is easier to balance teams and ensure staff is available to help meet the set objectives and goals.

Report on the mission, vision, and core values of the company you have chosen. What are the strengths of the core values? What values are missing, or what values do you think are omitted. Incorporate at least two peer reviewed journal articles into your discussion of the core values. Reflect on your personal core values; what they are and how they guide your behavior.

The

Mission

,

Vision

, and

Core Values

of Acadia Healthcare

Mission

Acadia Healthcare’s mission is “to be a world-class organization that sets the standard for excellence in the treatment of mental health and addiction concerns.” The organization strives to retain its position as the top provider of mental healthcare services within the industry. Acadia Healthcare also strives to make its treatments synonymous with exceptional commitment to patients, communities, professional workers, and staff. (Acadia Healthcare, n.d.) The goal is to make their facilities stand out from others through the provision of quality and exceptional care that puts the needs of the patient first.

Vision

Acadia Healthcare’ vision is “to promote comprehensive and integrated care to improve the mental well-being of the children, adolescents, and adults we serve.” Core competencies, which include capabilities and resources, allow the organization to maintain its top position through collaboration with investors, patients, and other professionals in the industry (Acadia Healthcare, n.d.). Acadia Healthcare’s vision is manifested through the following:

Sensitivity to and understanding of the patients, as well as their families.

The integrated application and appreciation of up-to-date evidence-based practices of psychoeducation, psychodynamic health care, and psychotherapy.

Cooperation and engagement with the organizations and people who work collaboratively for the benefit of the patient.

Core Values

Acadia Healthcare’s core values include the following:

Respect

Compassion

Diversity and Inclusion, and

Collaboration

The Strengths of the Core Values

Acadia Healthcare’s core values represent the organization’s fundamental driving forces, deeply held beliefs, and highest priorities. They are the heart of what Acadia Health and its employees stand for. Employees at Acadia Healthcare honor and respect everybody. They demonstrate this through the compassion and dignity they show every patient. Additionally, the organization embraces and upholds diversity and inclusion as they believe that diversity plays a vital role in what makes Acadia Healthcare so exceptional (Acadia Healthcare, n.d.). Physicians are always determined to offer quality behavioral care through collaboration in service delivery.

Values Omitted

Some of the values missing at Acadia Healthcare’s core values include integrity, accountability, and fairness. Integrity is a vital core value in a company. Embracing integrity throughout the workplace can foster a positive work environment that upholds open communication, ethical decision making, and healthy relationships (Huberts, 2018). Accountability is also a vital core value in an organization. Accountability in the workplace promotes ownership and engagement as everybody clearly understands what his/her expectations and responsibilities are. Also, accountability increases job satisfaction, enhances employee commitment, and promote better working relationships – all of which contribute to better performance (Han & Hong, 2016). Fairness is also a critical core value. Fair treatment of workers in the organization builds trust, strengthens loyalty, increases productivity, and enhances morale.

Reflection on My Personal Core Values

Some of my personal core values include integrity, honesty, humility, and perseverance. These values guide my behavior every day. They inform my actions, words, and thoughts. This means that the decision and actions I make must honor them. Living by my core values has been critical in my life. This implies being the most authentic version of myself in every facet of my life. Not just at school, not just at work, or with my family members, but in every area that matters to me. When I am not in alignment with my core values, I usually feel guilty. So, I always try to stay true to my values, which has inspired my friends and family to do the same.

Medical Management: Acadia Healthcare

Student’s Name

Institutional Affiliation

Introduction

I have learned numerous invaluable contents throughout the course that has enhanced my understanding of Health Services Administration, which entails learning the various concepts applicable in the overall management of healthcare institutions. Essentially, this assignment involves medical management and corporate management concepts that address leadership, ethics, and strategic analysis. The three aspects form this task’s core elements, which predominantly delves into Acadia Healthcare. Essentially, Acadia Healthcare is the leading provider of behavioural health services in the United States for people in need. Acadia has established its national presence across 40 states operating approximately 230 behavioural health facilities with about 10,200 beds. The establishment is relative in my field of study, which is the reason why I had an interactive experience researching about it and grasping the scope of how it operates in the industry. 

We have learned about leadership, ethics, and strategic management throughout this course and their significance. Therefore, providing information on Acadia Healthcare, I comprehensively addressed every aspect shedding more light on how the aspects play a part in the medical institutions. The first is leadership, which involves influencing, motivating, and guiding people to realize predetermined objectives and goals. Leadership provides direction, stability, morale, culture, and even affiliations alongside employee retention and development. Acadia uses an expanded organizational structure with several key top leadership positions. Some of the top leaders include the Chief Executive Officer led by Ms. Debbie Osteen, Chief Finance Officer (CFO) led by David Duckworth, Executive Vice president led by Christopher L. Howard, and Executive Vice President General Counsel, amongst others. The organization’s leadership body comprises pure talents, where each of them has garnered immense experience before joining Acadia, eventually propelling it to higher levels of success and growth.

Leadership

The leadership of an organization refers to the process of influencing, motivating, and guiding persons within an organization to realize the predetermined objectives and goals (interobserver, 2021). In other words, organizational leadership entails the efforts to uphold the smooth running of all strategic and functional operations through a well-stipulated power structure. Leaders help organizations carry out their daily operations effectively to propel them towards the vision and objectives. Leadership within organizations is vital to facilitate the development of cultures that uphold workforce value alongside leveraging the constructive input of employees of an organization. For instance, just like a vehicle that needs a driver or controller to propel it toward the desired destination, organizations require individuals who help the employees, teams, or other stakeholders to steer their contributions towards achieving the goals. In that light, leaders play a vital role in making crucial and strategic decisions, supporting, and motivating the employees in their daily operational areas to enhance their competence and productivity (interobserver, 2021). Effective organizational leadership could significantly render stability, direction, and achievement of objectives and goals. It results from the leaders’ role in representing organizational beliefs and mission to steer social good that is suitable for both the employees and patients, who are pivotal stakeholders for business entities.

Acadia Healthcare recognizes the essence of effective organizational leadership; as a result, it presents its leadership form in a broad organizational structure that highlights key departmental leaders. Acadia Healthcare’s top leader is the Chief Executive officer (CEO), Debbie Osteen, who has served the position since 2018, recording her senior leadership experience of more than 36 years (Acadia Healthcare, n.d.). As the organization’s CEO, Ms. Debra Osteen has facilitated Acadia Healthcare’s strategic vision and embarked on a growth plan. She has vast experience in senior leadership in the behavioural healthcare practice, thus her competence. Under the CEO is the Chief Finance Officer (CFO), David Duckworth. Mr. Duckworth has served Acadia since 2011 and had previously served various organizations in their financial affairs (Acadia Healthcare, n.d.). Also, there is the Executive Vice president, Christopher L. Howard joined Acadia in 2011 after serving several other institutions as a senior leader (Acadia Healthcare, 2022). Under the CFO is the EVP finance, who is responsible for all Acadia’s financial records and welfare, and the Senior Director, Tax, responsible for the organization’s tax obligations and proceedings (Acadia Healthcare, 2022). Besides, under the CEO is the EVP General Counsel responsible for all legal matters within the organization (Acadia Healthcare, 2022). Precisely, Acadia strives to attract and retain pure talents in their leadership positions to facilitate the achievement of their lofty vision and strategic goals of expanding and establishing their presence globally.

Acadia’s organizational leadership predominantly focuses on core areas that are pivotal for the development and sustainability of the industry. Such areas include finance, legal, strategic, medical, and quality and compliance. As mentioned, leadership plays a vital role in influencing, motivating, and guiding individuals within an organization to drive it towards achieving the predetermined goals and vision. Besides, utilizing competent and experienced leaders to leverage its performance in the market. As a result, adopting experienced leaders such as the CEO and CFO has helped them establish their dominance in the behavioural health field which essentially emerged among the leading providers of behavioural health services. Precisely, effective organizational leadership is a viable obligation that the business should explore to achieve their objectives and visions

Ethics

Another vital aspect for businesses is ethics, which refers to the standards of acceptable conduct in the community, especially in reference to obligations, fairness, rights, virtues, or obligations, among other relative elements (Schroeder ’18, 2021). In other words, ethics delves into the concerns of decision-making that considers the eventual value and standards that determine people’s actions as right or wrong. Ethics is a major concern in the business world, especially when referring to social and economic good. Consequently, ethics in business is considered a vital function as they significantly adopt ethics to uphold integrity along with key stakeholders, such as employees, customers, suppliers, and investors. Prevalently, organizations strive to establish an ethics program for operations to instil integrity among their employees and garner trust and confidence from vital stakeholders. However, the predominance of ethics programs come with variation in quality as business ethics mostly align with the respective corporate principles, values, and policies. Concurrently, the concept of business ethics is increasingly emphasized in modern establishments ranging from the adoption of the right talents and business reputation for the public (Schroeder ’18, 2021). Moreover, business ethics compels employee behaviour through their respective organizations that represents and upholds them (Schroeder ’18, 2021). In addition, business ethics plays a vital role in benefitting the bottom line, which enhances profitability by alleviating the losses and declining investor confidence.

Acadia Healthcare actively practices ethics in its business operations by identifying the essence of observing ethics in the modern world where questionable business practices would suggest doubt from employees to other key stakeholders such as investors and consumers alongside suppliers, which can impact the overall operations and performance (Resource Treatment Center, 2022). Acadia integrates an active Compliance Program and Code of Conduct to uphold integrity and ethics throughout their practices of rendering quality behavioural healthcare services in an accountable environment (Resource Treatment Center, 2022). The Resource Treatment Centre (2022) states that Acadia stipulates that all affiliates, regardless of the nature of the relationship, should be wary of and sensitive to scenarios that could result in the controversial image and deter their reputation, such as illegalities and unethical practice. Therefore, Acadia’s affiliates should report any instance of misconduct, illegal or improper conduct that occurs within their premises that jeopardizes the available legislations and regulations or their Code of Conduct (Resource Treatment Center, 2022). Acadia strives to alleviate discrimination based on any varying aspect such as ethnicity, colour, treatment, nationality, or any other aspect. The Compliance Program and Code of Conduct helps establish and develop fairness, equality, satisfaction, and ethical and compliance obligations within the organization. Acadia’s corporate governance upholds the codes to establish an egalitarian, caring, and responsible context amongst all stakeholders and affiliates, which in return have catapulted the organization to greater heights of success and dominance in the behavioural healthcare service in the United States (Resource Treatment Center, 2022).

With the increasing criticism of business practices, organizations have significantly shifted to execute their operations appropriately. According to a recent survey, good business ethics positively correlates with business success and growth (De George, 2021). Currently, the prevalence of the COVID-19 pandemic has established certain guidelines, rules, and regulations. The guidelines illustrate practical ways of operating a business amidst the contagion; so, failure or negligence to observe and practice per their provisions would result in scrutiny. Essentially, Acadia Healthcare promotes COVID-19 precautions and regularly updates on the effect of COVID-19. The preventive measures are significantly applied within the Resource Treatment Centre to keep the stakeholders safe (De George, 2021). As a result, good business ethics would limit organizations from risks and create a healthy business environment.

Strategic Analysis

Acadia intends to be a world-class organization providing behavioural health services through adopting growth strategies and investment strategies to subsidize the growing operations and expenses. Lastly, strategic analysis is another vital aspect to consider in a business environment. According to Question Pro (2018), strategic analysis refers to the process of evaluating an organization’s business context that operates to develop a strategy. The main piece in the strategic analysis is ‘strategy,’ which is an action plan business leaders pursue to achieve the goals and objectives. In that context, an organization strives to identify the space it intends to occupy. Organizations operate in an environment full of drawbacks and shifts in consumer behaviour and interests, which would significantly impact their performance and success in their industries. Therefore, strategic analysis helps organizations establish strategic planning that aid in effective decision-making and streamlined operations. Strategic planning facilitates the efficient and practical achievement of set objectives and goals. Question Pro (2018) states that organizations should regularly undertake strategic analysis to identify the areas of strength and those that need improvement. Essentially, strategic analysis entails identifying ways to induce constructive adjustments, mostly viable in the prevalence of a goal and mission that guides organizational operations. There are two types of strategic analysis: internal strategic analysis and external strategic analysis, with the former conducted within an organization to identify strengths and weaknesses (usually conducted through a SWOT analysis- strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats), and the latter delves in the external factors that influence the growth potential of an organization (usually conducted through PESTLE analysis- Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Legal and Environmental factors) (Question Pro, 2018). 

Identifying the strategic position of an organization resulting from strategic analysis render leaders with the scope of their organizational position and potential in the industry. Acadia’s mission is “to be a world-class organization that sets the standard for excellence in the treatment of mental health and addiction concerns” (Acadia Healthcare, 2019). Therefore, to establish their presence globally, Acadia Healthcare embarks on various growth strategies that have helped garner approximately 230 behavioral health facilities and about 10,200 beds across 40 states in the United States (Acadia Healthcare, n.d.-c). Since its conception, Acadia has strived to establish effective behavioral health partnerships across the US to enhance the lives of demographics in need through amplifying access to behavioral health services throughout the United States (Acadia Healthcare, n.d.). Also, Acadia embarks on joint ventures and mergers, such as with Orlando Health and Waud Capital Partners, respectively (Caramenico, 2011; Franklin, 2021). In that light, Acadia is concurrently growth strategies and investment strategies to facilitate achieving its mission, “to be a world-class organization that sets the standard for excellence in the treatment of mental health and addiction concerns.”

Therefore, effectively conducting strategic organizational analysis helps formulate strategic action plans that could, in return, guide them in actualizing the strategy. For instance, Acadia’s growth strategy entails embarking on partnerships and mergers and acquisitions that exponentially enhance the accessibility of their behavioral healthcare services to people in need. Also, to sustain the vast growth strategies, Acadia has to formulate investment strategies to subsidize their financially-intense growth strategies. Consequentially, the strategies have rendered quantifiable outcomes such as increased revenues and increased reach across the US, indicating the essence of conducting a strategic analysis.
