*Use the Learning Resources provided in this module, as well as previous modules, and locate additional sources through the

Walden Library and credible websites to conduct your research. Use the following questions to guide your investigation:
•What are the prevalent health concerns in this community?
•What are the key issues related to cost, quality, and access that affect the organization and the people this organization

serves?
•Which organizations in this area are business competitors and/or which organizations use highly effective practices or

strategies that this organization may learn from or adopt?
•How will demographics and health reform likely impact the organization, as well as the broader community, in the next 5

years?

Next, review the information on business writing included in the Learning Resources. Consider what the central point of your

memo should be. For instance, is there a critical challenge the organization is likely to encounter? Does the information

you have gathered suggest the need for a particular course of action or a new business direction? If so, use this memo to

inform and influence the CEO. If not, share the findings of your research with the assumption that the CEO will use this

information as a launching point for future discussions.

The Assignment
