There is only space for $7$ hospice patients in the historic home at any one time. Patients and their families report that this small, home$-$like environment is a source of comfort to them during a difficult time. Over the next five years, the agency is looking to expand into providing hospice services beyond their historic facility in the patients' homes. Rachelle and her team are working to identify the specific steps necessary to implement this new service line as well as performance targets to let them know if their efforts are successful. This is an example of which core function of management?
