HCA-450 ( Benchmark Assignment ) Finances and Quality HCA-450 ( Benchmark Assignment ) Finances and Quality You have recently been hired as the chief financial officer (CFO) of a large hospital. Your hospital has experienced major growth and is proposing a new department of quality improvement. This new department has to be approved by the board of directors. The chief executive officer (CEO) has asked you to prepare a presentation for the board of directors to stress the importance of quality from a financial standpoint. Prepare a 15-18-slide PowerPoint presentation describing the importance of delivering quality care on the finances of the organization. Make sure to include the following: An overview of the concept of quality in health care. A description of the current finances of the organization and how quality would enhance the bottom line. The consequences of not implementing the new department within the organization, including legal and marketing implications. As you are crafting your presentation, consider your audience: a group of board members that you need to persuade to approve the financials for a new department. You need to make a strong, clear argument to support the need for a quality improvement department. You will also need to be creative to keep your audience’s attention. Include speaking notes with each slide outlining the presentation. While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion. You are not required to submit this assignment to Turnitin. You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes. Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages. Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor. The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument. Order Now
