Please note, I am only responsible for the Marketing Segment of this project.
⦁ Marketing Segment – You can use some creative freedom here. What is the environment like, what is the competition for your service? How will you advertise? reach new clients? Who will you serve?
You are creating a business plan to add an outpatient lab located on Local Hospital campus. This plan is being submitted to senior leadership of Local Hospital for consideration.
Business Plan Format
For this assignment, you will need to construct your paper using the following outline:
⦁ Title page to include the title of your paper, team number, class, and team members.
⦁ Table of contents listing all of the major sections that I am listing.
⦁ Executive Summary – This is a one page summary of your entire project. You are submitting a plan to an executive team, so include the facts of the project. What do you want money for, how much, how much will you make, why, etc. Keep in mind, in the real world, this may be the only thing that they read. If it is not specific, the project is rejected!
⦁ Organizational Plan – This will talk about how you will structure as far as FTE’s, Leadership, and how your proposed service ties into the mission of the hospital.
⦁ Marketing Segment – You can use some creative freedom here. What is the environment like, what is the competition for your service? How will you advertise? reach new clients? Who will you serve?
⦁ Financial Segment – Being a finance class, I expect this to be a focus. You need to discuss the assumptions listed below that would relate to this section. You should discuss the financial situation, but then you will need to submit a 5 year cash flow document, along with any others that reflect the operation of the business. You should also include NVP and IRR calculations as a way to justify the project.
⦁ Conclusion – Like the Executive Summary, this is important to a proposal. It should be less than one page, and contain the facts of your proposal, and why it should be approved. You should include the information that you concluded about the 5 year financial performance.
General Assumptions

What will the labor cost?

What will the supplies, drugs and/or devices cost?
