Analysis of a Pertinent Healthcare Issue

The Quadruple Aim provides broad categories of goals to pursue to maintain and improve healthcare. Within each goal are many issues that, if addressed successfully, may have a positive impact on outcomes. For example, healthcare leaders are being tasked to shift from an emphasis on disease management often provided in an acute care setting to health promotion and disease prevention delivered in primary care settings. Efforts in this area can have significant positive impacts by reducing the need for primary healthcare and by reducing the stress on the healthcare system.

Changes in the industry only serve to stress what has always been true; namely, that the healthcare field has always faced significant challenges, and that goals to improve healthcare will always involve multiple stakeholders. This should not seem surprising given the circumstances. Indeed, when a growing population needs care, there are factors involved such as the demands of providing that care and the rising costs associated with healthcare. Generally, it is not surprising that the field of healthcare is an industry facing multifaceted issues that evolve over time.

In this modules Discussion, you reviewed some healthcare issues/stressors and selected one for further review. For this Assignment, you will consider in more detail the healthcare issue/stressor you selected. You will also review research that addresses the issue/stressor and write a white paper to your organizations leadership that addresses the issue/stressor you selected.

BUSN415 WEEK1: COMPANY IDENTIFICATION

Prompt:
The purpose of this first week is for you to gain insight into the operations of a local small business. In week 2, you will be completing an initial interview, so you will want to begin making contacts now with a small business owner in your area who will agree to three separate 1-hour interviews over the course of the next eight weeks. Start by finding a small business that (a) is of interest to you, (b) you may have had business dealings with, and/or (c) with which your family may do business. Some ideas for a small business to make contact with are: your family’s insurance agent, HVAC service company, a local restaurant you may frequent, an ice cream or frozen yogurt shoppe, a local dry cleaning operation, a local music instrument store, or, possibly, any other family owned business you know of in the area. After identifying the small business and making contact with the owner or key operating manager, you will be putting together an outline of the interview questions you wish to ask. As this course focuses on “Small Business Growth and Development,” and you will be asking for three interviews, make sure that you are clear about the topics of each of the interviews.

Interview #1: Background of the Business

Interview #2: Challenges/Barriers to Success

Interview #3: Survivability/Recommendations
