Analyze at least 3 different types of services or programs that a healthcare system may look at incorporating into their portfolio as they develop their strategic plans to answer the industry shift away from the fee-for-service mentality and towards a more value-based system

During the assessment/analyzing the environment phase of strategic planning, a company is tasked with understanding the various demands in the market. They also must examine what other companies are doing and take inventory of their own portfolio to determine if they are offering products and services that are relevant and comply with industry standards (this is largely why we conduct SWOT/TOWS analyses,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8FANR-2u2Q,).This assignment will help simulate one contemporary issue HCOs are having to assess. You will write a paper to qualitatively analyze this issue.Since 2009, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has impacted how hospital systems prepare for the future.  In your book, you read about historical data being needed to help paint the picture of where an organization has been and how they have performed. The impact of the ACA, changing the payment structure from fee-for-service to the theory of covered lives, changes the dynamic in which organizations operate. If a Health Care organization (HCO) is paid a flat rate per year for each life covered under the new healthcare plans, the strategy for the future changes in many ways. The focus changes from increasing volume at high cost facilities such as hospitals, to wellness of the patient, and providing the right care, at the right time, and at the lowest cost possible (think about an ambulatory setting).The focus of this weeks assignment is to make sure that the strategic plan secures the future for organizations and its leaders by crafting a viable future business. To control costs in an environment created by the ACA, hospital based systems need to focus beyond the hospital, and try to incorporate all aspects of the patients care and wellness.Analyze at least 3 different types of services or programs that a healthcare system may look at incorporating into their portfolio as they develop their strategic plans to answer the industry shift away from the fee-for-service mentality and towards a more value-based system. As you do your research, you will see examples of organizations who are very progressive, and some that are focused on the fee-for-service world for as long as they can. You will need to include at least 2 external sources besides your text. If you having trouble understanding the concept of fee-for-service, you may find this Hidden Brain podcast helpful and entertaining: Slaying the Fee-for-Service Monster (opens in new tab). https://www.npr.org/2020/09/02/908728981/slaying-the-fee-for-service-monster-of-american-healthcare

Conduct/construct an experiential evaluation/assessment of the business model of your organization (or one with which you are closely familiar) using the business model canvas and related text.

Instructions: Conduct/construct an experiential evaluation/assessment of the business model of your organization (or one with which you are closely familiar) using the business model canvas and related text.Introduction: Managers who want to improve the effectiveness of their business model and organization, as well as to increase their own ability to manage, use diagnostics/assessments to determine the reality of business effectiveness in comparison to what they originally envisioned. Good feedback contributes to the development of plans to improve business/organizational effectiveness and management performance.Instructions: Students will write a 2500-3000 word (about 10 pages in the main body) properly formatted APA paper (including a title page and references page, but no abstract) that evaluates/assesses the overall effectiveness of the business model used by your organization. This is the third of three assignments that draws from your association with your organization. The previous two “canvas” assignments flow into this one. Identify one or more of the building blocks from the business model canvas where modification should be recommended. Be careful to avoid bias in determining the issue/problem identified by using the canvas. Do not merely critique, but contribute to your organization’s overall success. This paper should be the culmination of the overall work you have done with the business model canvas so that all the pieces go together.Your final paper should include:Your business model canvas – Post-It notes discussion/observations (week 2)—summarize this area, but provide the initial canvas.Identification of theoretical/behavioral trends that you observe in the business model and organization (week 5)—summarize this, do not merely cut and paste.Discussion of appropriate theory, metaphors, and frames with which to describe your business model in operation, as well as to identify areas needing improvement and how to get there.Use of the Osterwalder/Pigneur text to evaluate and diagnose your organization’s business model, as well as an integration of the course materials into your writing and consideration.Recommendations for improvements identified using the canvas, theories, and assessment tools used in this course. What are the expected outcomes.Use eight scholarly sources besides our textbook (especially case studies) to undergird your assertions from peer-reviewed literature.Thoroughly familiarize yourself with the assignment specs and ask questions if you are unsure of expectations.The paper must have at least eight additional scholarly sources in addition to the course textbook. No abstract is necessary, but a title page and references page should be included. Write your paper in third person, even though you are writing about an organization that you are familiar with. To do this, write from the perspective of a scholar who observes and researches about the case. Therefore, first person should be avoided.

Explain why the demand for the good or service provided by a firm is elastic or inelastic. How does the elastic or inelastic demand influence pricing decisions by the firm to maximize profit? What are the impacts of elastic demand and inelastic demand on total revenue?

Topic 1: Price Elasticity of DemandIt is highly recommended that you review the Seminar presentation located in the Seminar Topics document under Course Resources before beginning the Discussion.The law of demand states that a fall in the price of a product raises the quantity demanded for the product, whereas an increase in price leads to a decrease in quantity demanded for the product. The price elasticity of demand measures the extent of the responsiveness of the quantity demanded to a change in price. Demand for a product is elastic if the quantity demanded responds substantially to changes in the price, and the percentage change in quantity demanded is greater than the percentage change in price. Demand is inelastic if the quantity demanded responds only slightly to changes in the price, which indicates that the percentage in price is greater than the percentage in quantity demanded for a certain product.However, the extent of responsiveness of quantity demanded to a change in price depends on the nature of a particular good or service in the market. The price elasticity of demand partly depends on the availability of close substitutes. When a large number of substitutes are available, consumers respond to a higher price of a product by buying more of the substitute the product and less of the relatively more expensive product. In addition, goods or services that are considered necessities tend to have less elastic (more inelastic) demand, whereas goods or services that are considered luxuries have more elastic (less inelastic) demand.Explain why the demand for the good or service provided by a firm is elastic or inelastic. How does the elastic or inelastic demand influence pricing decisions by the firm to maximize profit? What are the impacts of elastic demand and inelastic demand on total revenue?Provide examples on how the availability of close substitutes affects price elasticity of demand for a good or service.Give specific examples of necessities or luxuries, and explain how they affect price elasticity of goods or services.
