Scenario
After working in the healthcare industry for many years as an expert consultant, you have decided to make the leap and open your own healthcare consulting firm. Based on your reputation and the recommendations of others, you have landed a major first client…The White House! Your company has been hired to conduct research and develop a solution to healthcare reform by creating a model of what healthcare delivery should resemble in the United States. You have also been appointed as a top advisor to the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions U.S. Senate Committee and must present the model over a three day summit.
Instructions
Create a healthcare delivery model for the U.S. healthcare system. When creating the model, ask yourself these questions: What is included? How does it look? Who does it serve? How is it financed? Is it sustainable?
Include the following in your project:
- A memo that explains the proposed model and what it hopes to achieve, including information on the changing dynamics of healthcare reimbursement and the associated funding sources.
- In a report outlining the model, you should include:
· An executive summary
· The model itself (i.e., what's included in the model, who the model serves, description of how the model will be financed and sustained)
· Timeline of major events in healthcare that have transpired over the past 10 years that have impacted this new model
· A list of the current financing and reimbursement models within the U.S. healthcare delivery system and a statement of how each will change or remain the same under this new model
· A synopsis of the major challenges of economic and noneconomic barriers to improving quality, reducing costs, and increasing access to healthcare
· A list and description of stakeholders within U.S. healthcare system under this new model
· A SWOT analysis of the current U.S. healthcare system
· A trends forecast outlining the possible changes in healthcare that may affect the model over the next 5 years
- A voiceover PowerPoint presentation to the Senate committee to layout/describe the model in detail

Some quick answers to Q & A:
Are we to have 4 separate documents here, or can we put the memo, executive summary and report with title and references in one document and then have the PPT with voiceover in the separate document? – Yes, there are two ways to do this: (1) You can separate everything out and have 1 memo, 1 executive summary, 1 report and 1 PPT with voiceover – if you do it that way, you need a title page and a reference page for ALL 3 DOCUMENTS INDIVIDUALLY + the title page and reference page on PPT with at least 1 intext citation on each slide of content within your PPT in the lower right hand corner. The second way of doing this is to: Have 1 title page, 1 reference page and put your memo, executive summary and report all in one document. Just be sure to have each one begin on it's own page and never add something to the same page as something else.
Does this need a voiceover? YES, it is required
What is the best way to add my voiceover to the PPT presentation? The best way, because it is so long, is to add the LIVE STREAMING LINK OF YOUR VOICEOVER TO THE TITLE PAGE OF THE PPT – to do this, simply hit the "share" button on whatever app you used to record it and choose the "copy link" option. Then, to be sure Dr. M sees it, send a submission note stating where it is located so she doesn't miss it.
You need 10 timeline events so if you use one with 5, you will need to ADD the other 5*****
