From the scenario 'Let It Pour: My First Assignment as Executive Assistant' provided by University of Phoenix (2004), the problems and challenges identified by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) are not unique to Faith Community Hospital, management, or employees. Similar factors plague other institutions and only serve to distract from the intended mission, but left unconstrained, can cause detrimental effects on a wide range of operational elements. There are factors that are relative to the functions of that institution, and there are factors that are constant regardless of the functions such as inflation, variances in personal beliefs and ethics, and communication.

Of the problems identified, the most prevalent on its own and in the other issues recognized is the deficiencies in communication.
