Part I: Detailed Report for Western Hospital’s Board of Directors and CEO (15Pages)

Read the case study documents provided. Based on this information create a 15- to 20-page report in which you build a strategic plan and business plan for the Center for Diabetes Care, which extends the reach of Western Hospital and promotes positive health outcomes. This report will be distributed to board members and the CEO prior to the presentation, and a grant proposal will be prepared based on the material in the report. The report should include text, charts, graphics, and financial data. Provide references and sources. The report must include:

· Executive Overview

The summary you will provide for this assessment differs from other Executive Summaries you have prepared during the program as it will not be a summary of your entire report, but will focus on key information needed to make your “case for action.” This Executive Overview establishes several key facts that will be useful to decision makers as they review the Strategic and Business Planning documents.

· Written in an executive summary format, this section is a “case for action” explaining how the goals of the Center for Diabetes Care align with the goals of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), Healthy People 2020, and the Institutes of Medicine (IOM) aims for quality care.

· Includes a recommendation for the establishment of the Center for Diabetes Care, which takes into consideration the perspectives of internal and external stakeholders—including accrediting bodies.

· Explains how the Center for Diabetes Care fits within the continuum of care for Western Hospital setting the stage for the next part of the report – The Strategic Plan.

· Strategic Plan

· Vision, mission, and values statements for the Center for Diabetes Care. Includes introductions for each element of the strategic plan that defines the element and explains its role in the plan.

· SWOT analysis listing the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to opening the Center for Diabetes Care. Includes introduction of the SWOT analysis that defines its purpose and provides rationale for key aspects of the analysis.

Part II: Business Case Presentation to Western Hospital’s Board of Directors and CEO (10slides)

Summarize the business case for the Center for Diabetes Care in a 5- to 10-minute oral presentation to the board of directors using voice-over PowerPoint. The oral presentation should include a 10- to 12-slide presentation in which text, charts, graphics, and financial data are presented. The presentation should also provide references and sources. As you develop the presentation, consider the information that your audience will need to know to make a decision on whether to approve Dr. Novak’s application for the grant. This information would include how the Center for Diabetes Care would:

· Address unmet needs of the community that Western Hospital serves.

· Improve health outcomes for the community, which will lead to positive social change.

· Be structured to ensure cultural competency with the patient population.

· Generate enough revenue so that it becomes financially self-sustaining by its third year in operation.

· Measure the success of the project.

He’s asked about risks that you have identified as you have created the business plan, strategic plan, and business case for the Center for Diabetes Care. Write a 2- to 3-page report for him explaining, in detail, the risks or concerns you have identified and potential strategies for managing those risks.
