Business Case for a New Economic Opportunity

profiledferrante80

 

Professional Context

As a Master's level health care practitioner you are expected to  consider a number of factors when analyzing the feasibility of a new  initiative. For example, you need to keep in mind the various types of  risk (such as patient safety, physical plant, financial, or reputation),  as well as the present and future value of the service line or economic  opportunity into which you are investing resources. You also must  balance the competing considerations of your ethical and moral  responsibility to provide quality care to patients and populations,  while also protecting your care setting's assets and economic viability  in the near and long terms.

Scenario

The administrative leadership of your care setting has reviewed  your Executive Brief: Proposal of a New Economic Opportunity and has  decided that it has merit. As a result, you have been asked to take a  more detailed look at the feasibility and cost-benefit considerations of  implementing your proposed economic initiative over the next five  years. The administrative leaders are looking for a 3–5 page report that  builds a business case for your economic initiative by analyzing ways  to mitigate the risks associated with your original proposal and a  completed cost-benefit analysis using the included Cost-Benefit Analysis  Template, linked in the Resources.

Instructions

Be sure your work is, at minimum, addressing each of the bullets  below.
