Overview
In last week’s discussion, you identified a specific health care provider and analyzed one of their promotional materials. In this assignment, you will perform a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis on that provider.
Instructions
Preparation
Consider last week’s discussion and the feedback provided by your peers as you prepare for this assignment.
Consider how you would like to present your SWOT Analysis – PowerPoint or Word Document.
Deliverable
Do the following via your preferred delivery method:
Describe vital aspects of the provider to paint an accurate and comprehensive overview that includes areas such as its mission, market position, size, management, structure, et cetera.
Develop a SWOT analysis that accurately reflects and develops insights into the organization’s current state. It should include 2 strengths, 2 weaknesses, 2 opportunities, and 2 threats. Provide reasoning and support for each part of your analysis.
Analyze one of the four identified SWOT elements with respect to your provider’s ability to address the health care issue you identified in your first assignment. Examples are:
Strength: Adaptability. Analyze how the trait of adaptability would be useful to a nursing home’s response to an epidemic.
Threat: Staffing Shortages. Analyze how an increase in Fentanyl use in the local population might impact hospital staffing and training.
Weakness: Limited technology creates a connectivity challenge to being part of a health system or ACO.
Opportunity: Utilize excess space in their facility to network with a Hospice to afford inpatient support or create private state-of-the-art rooms for their labor and delivery services
Requirements
Your paper or presentation should include details that support your analysis. If PowerPoint is used, slides should be supported by detailed speaker’s notes.
You must cite a minimum of 3 credible resources to support your work. You can find sources through the Strayer Library using the library’s databases. To help with your research, additional resources are listed on the Course Resources page under Optional Resources.
This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). The library is your home for SWS assistance, including citations and formatting. Please refer to the Library site for all support. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:
