INTRODUCTION

Organizations periodically seek to establish a new line of business or improve performance of an existing one. You should understand the marketplace as well as the internal environment, and how both may impact the ultimate success of the organization’s service line. Using the “Service Line Development Case Study,” you will assess the viability of developing one of the following new service lines:

• Orthopedic center
• Cardiovascular center
• Cancer center

You will assume the role of a CEO in a healthcare facility. The CEO is tasked with developing a new service line. You will present the findings to the board of directors for buy-in and approval.
