Assessment Description. This assessment provides students with an opportunity to research and analyse a particular healthcare segment to gain an initial insight into the opportunities and challenges that currently exist for organisations that deliver healthcare services in Australia. Students will present that research and analysis in the form of a formal report which requires students to adhere to a report structure including an Executive Summary. Assessment Instructions Students are to investigate an industry segment of the Australian healthcare sector and examine and evaluate its model of operations and growth over the last ten years. The industry segments from which you must choose are: • Public or private hospitals • General practices • Specialist medical services • Pathology or diagnostic imaging services • Dentistry • Oncology • Mental health services • Allied healthcare services • Pharmaceutical industry • Aged care However, students are encouraged to determine the scope of their analysis in consultation with their lecturer.

Choosing an industry segment where information cannot be easily found will make the task of analysis much more difficult not only for this assessment but may require students to change their chosen industry for the subsequent Assessments 2 and 3. The industry analysis must be in report form and should present appropriate criteria or business analysis tools as a framework in which to identify and analyse the challenges and opportunities confronting the segment. It should draw from a range of government and academic sources, as well as industry reports. It should cover: • A definition of the industry, outlining its main activities • An overview of the competitive landscape, identifying and describing major competitors or organisations within the segment and their business models • Industry trends, presenting an overview of operating conditions and factors influencing operating conditions • Ethical issues faced within the industry Your analysis should focus on the broader environmental factors influencing operations within the sector. The report may also include charts or diagrams, which are not included in the word count. The findings presented in this report must be based on scholarly and peer-reviewed sources of information that were published no longer than 5 years ago and relevant to the field of strategic healthcare. These sources must be presented in the report in the form of in-text citations and a reference list adhering with Kaplan Harvard Referencing Style. Wikipedia and other ‘popular’ sites are not to be used.
