Assessment 3 Instructions: Business Case for Change
Develop a 10-slide business PowerPoint for the economic issue you have been working with as your topic in the
previous assessment. You will then present this PowerPoint using Kaltura and submit the video.
Introduction
Note: Each assessment in this course builds upon the work you have completed in previous assessments. Therefore,
you must complete the assessments in the order in which they are presented.
As a master’s-level health care practitioner, you are expected to consider a number of factors when supporting
change by analyzing the feasibility of a new initiative or identifying an issue within your organization. For example,
you must take into consideration 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 you are invested in.
Additionally, you must also balance your ethical and moral responsibility to provide quality care to patients and
populations while protecting your organization’s assets and economic viability in the near and long terms.

your organization, and the community at large.
This is an opportunity to tell your story and what the initiative means to you as a health care
practitioner. Remember, this is a presentation. So, you want to be engaging and persuasive in order to
build support for what you will be proposing to do later in the presentation.

ways to mitigate risks to the financial security of your organization or health care setting.
Make sure to present at least an overview of the data and numbers you are basing your cost-benefit

insensitive.
Ensure that both access and cost are equitable across all groups in the community that the proposed
