IHP 620 Milestone One Guidelines and Rubric

Prompt

Select the organization you would like to analyze in part two of the �nal project using the following resources: DBHoovers, ProPublica, or American Hospital Directory. Present your proposal

to the instructor for approval to ensure that you will have access to suf�cient �nancial information on the healthcare organization to complete the �nal project.

In your proposal, address the following elements:

What organization is the focus of your report?

Analyze the organization by identifying the sub-industry or type of organization it belongs to (e.g., home care, hospital) and the �nancial background of the organization.

Based upon the information you researched in Module Two, is the organization you selected a nonpro�t or for-pro�t?

Finally, considering the sub-industry your organization belongs to, what kind of impact do the economic principles of demand and market/consumer behavior have on this organization’s

�nancial statements? For example, do the statements re�ect a spike on revenue during the winter due to increased injuries and accidents related to ice?

Support your proposal with a minimum of two cited sources.

What to Submit

Proposals should be 2–3 paragraphs, double-spaced, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. Your proposal must also follow APA formatting and all resources and references
