Based on the project subject chosen in Topic 1, your CLC group will create a 2,500-3,000 word business plan. The business plan should contain the sections and components common to typical business plan models. However, the specific needs of each project will determine the appropriate model to use. Relevant data, tables, charts, and graphs may be included.
Whichever model you choose, your plan must include the following: HCA-620: Electronic Medical Record (EMR)
CLC Business Plan
1.Your instructor will assign you to a Collaborative Learning Community (CLC).
2.The scenario for your CLC is presented below.
3.Your CLC will work together to write a single document.
4.The CLC Business Plan needs to be of professional quality, demonstrating a high level of thought,
research, and writing skill.
5.The business plan needs to be similar in format, content, and quality to actual business plans in the
health care industry.
6.The CLC Business Plan is based on a hypothetical situation. Therefore, you will need to be creative.
While the information included in the plan will be contrived, make a reasonable attempt to be realistic.
This will require research and imagination. Financial projections and timelines are not expected to be
exact; feasible approximations are expected.
7.Designate a project manager to oversee the overall writing of the CLC Business Plan. An equitable
division of tasks is the most efficient way to complete the assignment.
8.The CLC Business Plan will contain the sections and components common to typical business plan
models. The specific needs of each project will determine the appropriate model to use. Whichever
model you choose include:
a.Description of product or service
b.Business and industry profile
c.Marketing components
d.Financial information
e.Operational plan
Note: Virtually all business plans contain an executive summary. The executive summary for the CLC
Business Plan will be included in the Individual Project Plan, which is due in Topic 8. Individual CLC
members will write their own executive summary of their CLC Business Plan.
