You will then write 3 pages paper in which you include each of the following parts:
1) Develop an introduction to your chosen healthcare organization.
a) The name of the selected organization and background information, such as its location, size, focus, services provided, demographics of patients served, for-profit or nonprofit status, et cetera.
b) Indicate whether the organization has a separate finance or business department and, if so, who is responsible for the department.
c) Any other information that may help explain the chosen organization. For example, is it unique in how its finances are managed? If so, how?
2) Develop research-based answers to the five previously created questions.
a) A response to each of the five questions you created. This should include specific information pertaining to the chosen healthcare organization's budget preparation process, fiscal planning strategies, and how the financial condition of the organization is routinely monitored and corrective actions are taken when necessary.
3) Assess any differences and similarities between what you have learned from the textbook, videos, and other readings with what you have learned in your research.
a) This is the part of the paper where you assess any differences between what you have learned in this course and what is reflected in your research.
