Description
Create a 5-10 minute recorded presentation, detailing the results of the balanced scorecard analysis and making recommendations for quality improvement and risk reduction. Your presentation material should be 10-12 slides in length.
Introduction
Note: The assessments in this course build upon each other, so you are strongly encouraged to complete them in a sequence.
Applying the balanced scorecard to a health care organization can help managers uncover potential risks. It will also help them to fully analyze the organization from multiple perspectives.
At Capella, we use scorecards to evaluate everything from learner satisfaction to faculty performance, as well as our operating structures. Your workplace organization probably has a scorecard.
Developing awareness and skills in constructing and interpreting balanced scorecards can increase your value as an employee. There are related resources in this course that needs to be saved and updated for future use in the workplace. Read further in the Assessment 4 Context [PDF] document, which contains important information about the following topics related to the balanced scorecard:
- Definition of the Balanced Scorecard.
- Using the Scorecard in the Health Care Industry.
- The Four Perspectives.
