IHP 610 Module Six Activity Guidelines and Rubric

Overview

All hospitals serve patients, employ physicians and nurses, and follow the rules and regulations for clinical services. Although nonpro�t and for-pro�t hospitals have the same goal of patient

care, there are operational and cultural differences. The purpose or mission for running the hospital, for example, is clearly different. This difference can be seen in decisions around growth and

�nancial planning. How the hospital operates, then, will also be different. The culture at for-pro�t hospitals has business at its core. The culture at nonpro�t hospitals has service at its core. For

balanced healthcare services, both are important.

This assignment will help you explore for-pro�t and nonpro�t hospitals, including their purpose, strategy, and services. You will identify one for-pro�t hospital and one nonpro�t hospital in the

United States. You will research and compare the two hospitals to analyze the similarities and differences between these two categories. This assignment will prepare you for Project Two. It

will help you to learn to analyze hospitals’ �nancial needs. The needs impact health policies and laws.

Prompt

To complete this assignment, you will create an analysis report comparing for-pro�t and nonpro�t hospitals. You will research for-pro�t and nonpro�t hospitals, collect information about their

�nancial strategies and malpractice guidelines, and then compare these two categories and analyze their similarities and differences. Then you will summarize your analysis �ndings. Last, you

will recommend an appropriate justi�cation for the need for both for-pro�t and nonpro�t hospitals in the U.S. healthcare system.

You are required to cite a minimum of three sources overall to support your claims. However, your submission must cite at least two outside sources from your own research. You may cite no

more than one source from the module resources in your submission. For additional help with completing this assignment, refer to the Shapiro Library Guide: Nursing – Graduate item in the

Start Here module. You may also use the Online Writing Center, located in the Academic Support module.

Speci�cally, you must address the following:

1. Business Objective: Describe the business objectives or purposes of for-pro�t and nonpro�t hospitals, including their general mission and vision. Consider the following in your response:

A. What are the core objectives of for-pro�t and nonpro�t hospitals, and how do these in�uence their �nancial needs?

B. What are the key differences in the mission and vision of for-pro�t and nonpro�t hospitals?

2. Financial Strategy: Analyze the �nancial strategies of selected hospitals, explaining if their �nancial needs are key in�uencers for their business objective. Consider the following in your

response:

A. How does tax status impact for-pro�t and nonpro�t hospitals?
