With all of the conversation and controversy surrounding healthcare structures and governance, healthcare leaders must articulate a thoughtful position regarding an optimal health care model based on sound research, best practices, and one’s philosophy of health care. The model must optimize the quality of care while also balancing financial requirements and organizational sustainability. In this assignment, you will articulate such a model.

The Executive Project requires each student to create a healthcare program centered on enhancing the quality and reducing the cost of care. You should prepare your executive project in a PowerPoint Presentation (ppt) format. Your ppt. should meet these requirements:

At least 12 slides in length, not including title, references, table of contents slides. The ideal ppt. Content slides length is between 12-16 slides.

Include detailed speaker notes of 100 words per content slide. Each content slide must have speaker notes. The speaker notes are used to ensure that the presentation is fully documented and self-explanatory.

You should utilize a minimum of 10 current and high-quality references; five (5) of them are from peer-reviewed articles. References should be published within five years.

To enhance your ppt’s relevance and content, you should include relevant images, visuals, tables/charts, etc.

Voice-over-Powerpoint (VoP) is not required but recommended.

The ppt. should be formatted to meet professional standards and expectations. The use of proper APA formatting and citations is required.

Ensure the entire project ppt., Content meets the UC’s academic integrity and writing policy. SafeAssign score should be less than 15%, not including the references slide.

The Executive Project should include:

Part I:

Goals, Objectives, Scope (organization type, type of services, employees, target market, etc.), Structure, Policy, procedure, etc.).You can choose any healthcare organization and topic as long as you have access to its data and information to help you create this project.

Health services continue to affect the gross domestic product, and this dramatic transformation has great demands on each dollar spent to deliver patient-centered products. Health care marketing must be repeatedly applied and practiced strategically to include environmental dimensions, such as technology, socioeconomics, competition, and regulatory.

In today’s global economy, investors and potential entrepreneurs must tap into the so-called “unexplored” market. In this aspect, health care establishments must use marketing, advertising, as well as sales strategies when pursuing new customers. For example, suppose a health care investor wanted to build a small hospital in a rural community—this would entail exploration and logistical experimentation to determine who will patronize the facility. In an impoverished neighborhood, the feasibility of having lucrative profits may see diminishing returns, and so the venture may be not worth the effort. Also, suppose that the potential investor wants to sell mosquito deterrents (such as bedside netting in malaria-infested regions of Asia or Africa). In that case, it would be wise to investigate the number of beds that are in the village, and who would be willing to purchase them. These activities consider the investor portfolio, as well as the feasibility of marketing and selling the product. Such exploration also examines competitors, cultural differences, and—most important—identification of the customer.

Using the health care organization you identified in the learning activity last week, determine its product development practices. Use the concepts from previous weeks to substantiate information, as needed. You may develop the discussion based on the ideas presented here, but feel free to inject any relevant marketing strategy that you believe might support your presentation.

Write a 3–4 page paper in which you:

1. Justify the purpose of the selected health care establishments’ product(s) / service (s) and their associated life cycle(s).
2. Suggest one strategy to improve the marketing mix of the selected health care establishment. Support your strategy by highlighting one benefit of portfolio analysis and providing two examples that display differential advantages.
3. Discuss the impact of possible economic decline on product-market expansion and how it can affect business planning based on global operating environment.
4. Assess the importance of technology in providing patients with clear and accessible information about health care organizations and the product(s)/service(s) that they provide.
5. Use 3–4 sources to support your writing. Choose sources that are credible, relevant, and appropriate. Cite each source listed on your source page at least one time within your assignment. For help with research, writing, and citation, access the library or review library guides.

This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards. For assistance and information, please refer to the Strayer Writing Standards link in the left-hand menu of your course. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:

• Propose product development strategies for a health care organization that impact the marketing mix, the use of technology, and marketing research.

Utilize the SOAP guidelines to assist you in creating your SOAP note and building your plan of care. You are expected to develop a comprehensive SOAP note based on the given assessment, diagnosis, and advanced nursing interventions. If the information is not in the provided scenario please consider it normal for SOAP note purposes, if it is abnormal please utilize what you know about the disease process and write what you would expect in the subjective and objective areas of your note.
