SWOT Analysis
Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT)
analysis is a framework that helps an organization analyze an
organization’s competitive standing. It evaluates an
organization based on its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities,
and threats. Strengths and weaknesses are current internal
aspects, while opportunities and threats are future external
factors (“SWOT analysis,” 2018). In this assessment, a SWOT
analysis is conducted to identify the SWOT of the Coronary
Artery Disease Reduction and Early Detection (CADRED)
project, which focuses on reducing the mortality rate due to ST
elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) through early
diagnosis and treatment at SG Hospital. The conventional
treatment procedures for STEMI are fibrinolytic therapy and
percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Strengths
· The project team is made up of individuals with demonstrated
skills and remarkable experiences that are relevant to the
project.
· The project will focus on the quality measures of the
organization through an improvement in key statistics such as
mortality rate.

10. · Using electronic health records (EHRs) will improve quality
of care provided to patients.
· The high-priority status of the project will ensure immediate
intrahospital transfer for patients who require special care,
which will improve patient retention and the care given to
patients.
· Additionally, there are adequate referral protocols in place to
prevent all forms of referral leakage.
Weaknesses
· Patients who have incomplete medical records may have more
risks than estimated because of insufficient data about
contraindications.
· There is no guarantee that patients will follow postprocedural
guidelines such as stopping smoking or changing their diet,
which are necessary for them to maintain their health after PCI
or fibrinolytic therapy.
· Studies by Cheng et al. (2019) suggest that there is a high
chance of incidence of restenosis after PCI. This may not be
diagnosed in patients after PCI if they do not return for
subsequent checkups. This increased risk of restenosis is seen in
women, individuals with unstable angina, and individuals with
anxiety and depression may be overlooked.
Opportunities
· The use of EHRs and the latest ECG technology will provide
sufficient significant data that will allow the automation of the
diagnosis process, leading to accurate results.
· Psychological therapy may be recommended for patients who
display postoperative symptoms such as anxiety and depression,
decreasing referral leakage.
· Fibrinolytic therapy is effective at reducing the likelihood of
medical conditions such as myocardial infarction that have an
elevated risk of occurrence in patients who smoke and have bad
dietary habits.
· The project also creates the opportunity to raise awareness

11. about lifestyle choices that will help prevent coronary artery
diseases or help in successful recovery.
Threats
· The risk of hemorrhagic complications following fibrinolytic
therapy cannot be monitored effectively. This will reduce the
success rate of the therapy.
· The treatment provided can be affected in certain rare cases in
which patients may not show any clinical symptoms of
restenosis.
· There may be a slight risk of allergic reactions to the contrast
dye and an even smaller risk of infection after PCI.

The threats and weaknesses that are related to the project
execution have been ranked below based on their risk level.
Risk Level
(Low, Medium, Risk
High)
High Risk of losing data and data manipulation when using

12. EHRs
Risk of violating Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act (HIPAA) guidelines
High on data privacy and confidentiality
Risk of high employee turnover and the need to train new
project team members on the Medium
protocols and guidelines designed for the project
Risk of cultural disparity and ineffective communic ation
between team members and Medium Low Risk of budget
overruns and delays in schedule
interdisciplinary teams
Risk of nonacceptance of new EHR systems by project team
members and nonadherence to
Low the guidelines designed for their implementation.
Commented [BI1]: SME comment: Yes these are risks to the
PATIENT, but this section refers more to categorizing the risk
as it pertains to project execution, not the actual therapy. For
example, things that may impede execution of the new protocol
might be: high staff turnover, multiple EMR systems in play,
patient population served (poor, indigent, cultural disparity).
Other types of risks to consider would be administrative
personnel changes (i.e. new ED director), or say the hospital
was in the process of implementing a new EMR system, this
might present as a high risk item that could tie up resources. So
you see, this specific section pertains to risks to project
execution.
Commented [BI2R1]: The risks pertaining to the project
execution have been included in the table as explained in the
comment above.

project are based on standards set by the institutional review
board of SG Hospital and the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act (HIPAA), which makes informed consent
before any procedure an absolute necessity.
· All possible risks with a probability of occurrence that is
greater than 1% should be discussed with patients before they
are asked to sign the consent form.
· Patients who are 18 years of age and above solely retain the
right to make personal decisions regarding their health care.
· Only the cardiologist who is part of the CADRED project has
the authority to discuss the risks associated with procedures and
obtain consent from patients.
· The confidentiality of all medical records must be maintained
and protected as per HIPAA standards, and only the project
team members must have access to them. Prior permission
through legal release forms must be obtained from patients
before using data. All activities in the hospital database must be
tracked, and any transfer of data must be approved by the

14. project manager who will ensure compliance with HIPAA
(Bowen, 2018).
· Patients must have access to their protected health information
(PHI) on request. The PHI should be shared only with the
patients’ consent, even with close family. It is communicated to
the team that any violation of the patients’ privacy
considerations is grounds for immediate termination.
· Patients who are women and/or elderly should receive special
considerations because of the higher risk they face from the
treatment procedure for STEMI. This is also applicable for
patients with irregular angina and patients who have previously
suffered a myocardial infarction.
Constraints
The project is expected to have minimal constraints because of
the experience and expertise of the project team. One of the
major constraints of the project is diagnosing postoperative
psychological problems such as anxiety and depression in
patients unless clear symptoms are noticed. Further, the
treatment for the postoperative psychological problems is left to
patients’ discretion.
Another constraint is ensuring and monitoring patients’
adherence to suggested lifestyle changes. Such monitoring is
not viable in every case although noncompliance to
recommended lifestyle changes could unduly reduce the success
rate of the project. This noncompliance to recommended
lifestyle changes, however, does not impact the operational and
economic feasibility of the project as the choice of adhering to
the suggested lifestyle changes is left to the patients’ discretion
after they are informed of the risks of nonadherence.
The feasibility and implementation fidelity of the project can be
affected by factors such as culture and race. According to
Durlak and DuPre (2008), the acceptability of treatment
procedures and the level of implementation of the project can

15. vary in different community settings. However, thorough
evaluation of existing data, comprehensive training, and the
provision of strong technical support can help the project team
successfully execute the project.
External Dependencies
The success of the project is determined by the number of
referrals to the team.
The project depends heavily on other departments for referrals.
In case of complications, the required specialist will be
informed through the internal communication network. The
required specialist will be on standby in specific cases where
complications are anticipated. Comprehensive EHRs of the
patients must be maintained by all departments for ease of
transfer and to prevent the loss of pertinent information.
External referrals from outgoing patients are also equally
important, and the PHI provided must be verified wherever
necessary. Communication Strategy
Commented [CC3]: Also consider the fidelity and feasibility of
the new process, is there resources to support?
Commented [BI4R3]: Information pertaining to the fidelity and
feasibility of the project has been added along with a resource
supporting the information as requested. However, the resource
supporting the information does not fall in the 5year time
period.
Communication is a necessary skill in clinical practices and for
the success of the project. It helps foster trust and coordination
within the team and improve patient satisfaction (Lewis et al.,
2016). SG Hospital has a digital internal communication
network, which has made internal operations efficient. The
project team has excellent interpersonal communication skills
that allow for effective communication between different team
members, external departments, and patients. The team follows
the Situation-Background-Assessment-Recommendation

16. technique, which is a communication model employed during
transitions. This technique helps communicate information in a
structured manner within the team and avoid miscommunication
(Lewis et al., 2016).
Regular progress updates will be shared with the hospital team
by the project manager through weekly team meetings. The
project manager will also give a detailed report of the progress
of the project to the CEO, CCO, and the board of directors on a
monthly basis. This report will be a PowerPoint presentation
and will cover all metrics that will evaluate the performance of
the project. Gantt charts will be used to record and display the
timelines of all the cases and to understand if there are better
ways of scheduling for efficiency. Gantt charts will also be used
to document the milestones of the project. There will also be a
comprehensive report after every 3 months, which will cover a
detailed analysis of the project and projections for the future.
Proposed Outcomes
Metric
Outcome Measure
Process Measure
Countermeasure (optional)
In-hospital risk-adjusted mortality
Perioperative mortality in hospital among patients 18
years of age and older adjusted for the level of risk to the total
number of patients 18 years of age and older on whom PCI was
performed.
The drugs administered on the arrival of a patient are recorded.
Door-to-balloon (D2B) during emergency cardiac care is
recorded separately for transferred patients
(patients on whom PCI was performed after a referral from a
hospital without the PCI facility) and nontransferred patients
(patients on whom PCI was performed in the hospital of
admission). Procedural complications, if any, that death is
attributed to are not recorded or tested for.
Patients’ medical history is to be considered carefully,

17. and all preoperative tests and perioperative monitoring must be
done as per protocol.
PCI risk-adjusted bleeding
Patients 18 years of age and older with a post-PCI bleeding
event as a ratio to the total patients above 18 on whom PCI was
performed after admission.
The drugs administered on the arrival of a patient and those
prescribed at discharge are recorded. Patients who die within 24
hours of the procedure are excluded. Also, cases that indicate
undetected contraindications due to oversight of information or
unverified external data are not tested for.
N/A
30-day readmission rate
Number of patients 18 years of age and older admitted for care
within 30 days of discharge to
the total number of patients 18 years of age and older
discharged from the hospital.
As per the 2010–2014 National
Readmission database, the 30day readmission rate in the U.S.
is 12.3%, and this results in a cumulative cost increase of 47.9%
(Kim et al., 2018).
Drugs administered on the arrival of a patient and those
prescribed at discharge are recorded along with the
patient’s testimony on their adherence to recommended
lifestyle changes. The cause of readmission is recorded.
N/A
Data Collection Plan
Data collection and maintenance are essential for the right
diagnosis and treatment of any given case. A patient’s database
includes the patient’s medical history and results from lab tests
and diagnostic tests. Secondary data on the patient’s history

18. will be transferred on a case-by-case basis when the referral is
internal. When the referral is external, contraindications must
be verified through tests and recorded. The data from the
required tests before, during, and after treatment are recorded in
EHRs. Primary data regarding health status are recorded by the
cardiologist or the nurse to whom the duty is delegated. The
confidentiality of information will have the foremost
consideration. It should be ensured that a legal release is
obtained from the patient before the data is used for evaluating
the project, as mandated by HIPAA (Bowen, 2018). The transfer
of all data is recorded in the database in a systematic manner.
This will help avoid oversights such as using data without
patients’ consent. Data collection is vital in verifying the
success of the project in terms of measured outcomes. This data
will be used to validate the importance of the project to the
stakeholders. The data used for this purpose will be collected
through Excel for analysis and subsequent presentation.
