Quadruple Aim and Business Framework

Professor’s Instructions: Participant will identify a segment of the health care delivery system in the context of the quadruple aim they would like to impact (i.e. population health, patient experience, provider experience, or cost per capita). Within that segment, the participant will then select an actual/potential practice project and a business case/cost analysis or business plan framework to address their selected project. The participant will provide an overview of the quadruple aim segment and framework with rationale (why and how it applies to the specific project). Be sure to utilize evidenced based, peer reviewed articles related to this particular framework. Explain how the selected framework pertains to the project proposal by integrating or using an example in the discussion. Utilize the business case/cost analysis or business plan framework identified, develop a business plan/analysis for the identified project. IMPORTANT – this proposal should include: 1. An introduction with a thorough project description including a project goal and desired outcome 2. Overview of the overall quadruple aim and the specific QA segment (i.e. population health, patient experience, etc.) 3. Overview of the selected framework; rationale for selection; synthesis of evidence-based peer reviewed literature 4. Financial analysis pertinent to the framework and project 5. An executive summary that provides an overview of the project and the expected benefits to be derived (i.e. return on investment – ROI; access, quality, and cost).

The Cardigan family has made a name for themselves in the sweater industry whereby they have designed sweaters for a variety of uses and for a wide target audience ranging from toddlers to business professionals. Cassandra, whom everyone calls Cassie, is the CEO of CARDWARE Inc., Camoni is the spokesperson for the sweater line, and Candie models the lines in the professional sphere. They often use their mother, Camille, as a business consultant for input about various new ideas and marketing because she was the manager and agent of her son’s glove company. Cora and Caley, Camille’s two youngest daughters from her second failed marriage to Bo Jenkins, are co-office managers of their headquarters located in Silkadonia. Camille has developed a good network among those in the fashion industry, especially the seamstresses who have been hired by well-known celebrities. One day, Camille spoke with Sonya, the owner and Lead Seamstress for Shazam Clothing Industries. Shazam is a leading manufacturer of unique limited edition clothes in Silkadonia. Camille presented Sonya with her order to sew a limited number (500) of hot pink and black machine knitted sweaters with a matching knit hat. Each sweater was to have a number and Candie Cardigan’s signature on a label sewn onto the bottom right side of the sweater. The hats would have the same label with matching number to its sweater, but sewn on the right side of the turned up hat cuff. Sonya agreed to make each sweater and hat pair for $100. Camille’s plan was to sell each set for $300 thereby making a $200 profit per set. While discussing the type of yarn to be used, Sonya’s cell phone rang. Sonya pushed a piece of paper and a color palette towards Camille and whispered “write the type of yarn you want used and exact dye lots” and I will begin work on this right away. Camille did as requested, but forgot to give Sonya the traditional 25% down payment. The down payment has always been used to purchase the materials. Sonya completed production of all 500 sweaters in record time and has presented Camille with an invoice for payment for the same. At the bottom of the invoice, the words, “Payment Due Upon Receipt” were written. Camille changed her mind about wanting the sweaters and hats, as she decided that the items would not be as profitable as originally anticipated. Sonya now comes to the law firm you work for, P. Strami, and Hammond, Attorneys at Law, and wants to know if she has any recourse. Attorney Strami hands you the following instructions and asks that you draft a memorandum to him incorporating your research.
