Part 2 – Program Design
This week you progress to Part 2 of your Capstone Project, in which you further develop the program you conceived in Week 1 based on an identified health care need in a community.
Part 2 begins the planning of strategic, operational, and financial decisions of starting and running such a program, including goal development, facility, and staffing, and performing a SWOT analysis to determine the potential risks and opportunities of the proposed program.
Review and complete Part 2 – Program Design. You will also find instructions, resources, and examples to help you complete the project.
