For your Capstone Project, you will be using a case study that focuses on Pocahontas Memorial Hospital located in Pocahontas County, West Virginia. Pocahontas Memorial Hospital (PMH) would like to offer a comprehensive satellite health clinic within Pocahontas County. You have been contracted to prepare a report for the PMH Board of Directors that will guide them in determining the feasibility of doing this. Your report should be organized according to the following structure and contain the elements described: • Introduction: This is where you introduce your audience to what this report will cover. • Discussion of whether the organization’s mission statement and goals support the project • Assessment: This is your evaluation of various factors that affect the feasibility and development of the project. • The environmental challenges, access for consumers, and technology required • A market analysis • A SWOT analysis • Recommendations: This is where you detail your recommendations. Your recommendations should be based directly on what you outlined in your assessment. • Strategies for attracting healthcare professionals • Develop strategic initiatives • Conclusion: This brief summary should pull together your assessment and recommendations and leave the audience with a clear sense of what can be done.
