IHP 510 Module Four Worksheet Guidelines and Rubric Overview: For this task, you will complete the Module Four worksheet detailing a SWOT analysis to determine the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of a specific healthcare organization’s service or product. Focus on a specific product or service within one of the healthcare organizations you selected from the worksheet (the Mayo Clinic, Johns Hopkins, or the Cleveland Clinic). Based on your SWOT analysis, you will then propose an additional service or product to market for the organization, while also comparing it to a competing healthcare organization’s service or product. This task is designed to provide practice for the analysis, service proposal, and competition analysis that you will complete as part of Final Project Milestone Two in Module Five. Prompt: Complete the following critical elements in the Module Four Worksheet:

Rubric Note: Be sure to apply instructor feedback on this worksheet task to your Final Project Milestone Two due in Module Five—especially the sections on the situational analysis, service proposal, and competition analysis that you will need to consider when completing your final healthcare marketing and communication plan.
