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.”

Gill, Kristal Barriers for Advanced Practice Nursing
The world of nursing is forever changing especially with advanced nurse practitioners entering the field. The years of face-to-face interaction with a provider are something that is becoming harder to find. People often do not like or embrace change and that is one of the biggest pitfalls to healthcare.
The transition from traditional face-to-face nursing to telehealth necessitates local agreements and further professional talks about how this transformation will be embraced and implemented. Furthermore, the company has to make sure that nurses have adequate tools and support to use telehealth ( Koivunen 2017).
Other barriers may include the saturation of advanced practice nurses. Many of my teachers were already nurse practitioners, and they simply could not find a job because they stated that the job market was saturated for family nurse practitioners. Some of them even went on to work as floor nurses in the ICU because jobs were so scarce. People are living longer with means a more dire need for more advanced practitioners will be necessary.
