You have made great strides in financial leadership in the first few months in your new role and have done a terrific job aligning your organization around a vision of pay-for-value Healthcare.Your success has not gone unnoticed. You have been asked by the Board of Directors whether you have any ideas for strategies that can take the organization forward in its pursuit of pay-for-value. As it turns out, you have an idea for a technological innovation you have been reading about, but it requires a significant capital investment to make it happen. You have a strong feeling that your idea could make a big difference, but you know you can't go to the Board with just "feelings." Your pitch must be grounded in facts and numbers; a plan that cannot demonstrate financially viable will never get approved. So, you need to present not just your strategy, but a budget to support that strategy.InstructionsThe Board has invited you to give a 5-minute presentation outlining your proposal. They want you to explain your idea, walk them through the reasons you think it’s needed, explain how it will be funded, and how success will be measured. That’s a tall order, but you’re up to the challenge!You’ve decided to organize your presentation around a 5-slide PowerPoint deck (plus one slide for references) as follows:Executive Summary: Explain the proposed technology investment and give a synopsis of what the Board can expect in the slides that follow. Explain why this is a meaningful innovation that takes the organization forward.Data Synopsis: Identify 5 budget inputs with estimated financial details that must be considered when evaluating this project. Examples can include (but are not limited to):Additional patients servedChanges in staffingVariance in clinical outcomesOperating revenue/profit increasesAdditional space or renovation required3. Run the Numbers: Build and explain a budget to support the project and give a clear summary of the relevant financial data based on the following:You have up to limited dollars to spend.The proposed capital investment must be for a technology solution. This could includethings such as: health records data management tools, robotics, telemedicine, etc.You must secure a “reasonable” estimate for the costs associated with the capitalexpenditure. This can be accomplished through contacting vendors, speaking with yourfinance department or a bit of research on the Internet.You must consider a “lease versus buy” evaluation for this project. You can obtain bankloan for 100% of the purchase.5 Years MCARS (depreciation table) must be used for this project.Identify the Net Present Value for Leasing vs Buying.Special Note – Contact Your Professor for the required data points.Reflections on Other Capital Budgeting Methods: The Board has specifically asked you to explain why Net Present Value has been used for this project versus the Payback Method, Internal Rate of Return and Accounting Rate of Return.State your Financial ConclusionsWhat is your recommendation to the Board as to whether the organization should Leasevs Buy?Are there other non-financial factors you should consider that need to be conveyed to theBoard?How will the project be monitored for ongoing assessment of performance?References and Citations Appendix Slide (include sources for rates, prices and other data used in the presentation)Submission RequirementsKeep the slides short and simple. Any additional information (explanations per slide can be typed in the notes)Your PowerPoint deck should be delivered in a professional manner.
