Week 2 Activity – Healthcare Finance QuestionsOverviewThis activity will help prepare you
for the assignment in Week 3. For this activity, you will choose an organization to research
and create questions to ask as part of that research.InstructionsYour Week 3 assignment
ask you to research the financial condition for a specific healthcare organization of your
choice. You will need to submit a Microsoft Word document with each of the following:Use
the Strayer Library or another verified source to identify a healthcare organization of
interest. This should be 1–2 sentences that clearly identify the chosen healthcare
organization and provide a high-level overview of what kind of organization it is and who
the organization serves.You will want to be sure there is plenty of information available
about the organization, particularly financial information. This means you’ll likely need to
choose a large organization that is required to make financials public.To gain a better
understanding of the financial condition of your chosen healthcare organization, its budget
preparation process, and fiscal planning strategies, you will develop five questions that you
will answer as part of your research. Ideally, these would be questions you would ask a
management official responsible for the financial planning for the organization. Provide a
rationale for the questions you chose.Think about questions that will give you insight into
what the company looks for when preparing their yearly budget, their fiscal planning
strategies, and how they monitor their financial condition throughout the year and make
adjustments as needed.Note: You may also choose to use these questions to interview a
financial manager within a healthcare organization. The interview would then be the source
of your information instead of the research.
