Assignment Directions
This assessment has two parts, Part 1 and Part 2 of your Capstone project. Complete Part 1 and Part 2 and submit them together.
Part 1 – Defining the Health Problem

can be purchased at a premium that is somewhat commensurate with income. Solving problems is a big part of the administrative work in health
care.

The project will be completed in 5 parts.
Review the following documents in full to understand the scope of the project, requirements, and deliverables. You will also find instructions,
resources, and examples to guide you through the project.

• Capstone Project Calculations

Part 2 – Program Design

identified health care need in a community.
Part 2 begins the planning of strategic, operational, and financial decisions of starting and running such a program, including goal development,
facility, and staffing, and performing a SWOT analysis to determine the potential risks and opportunities of the proposed program.
