In crafting your response, address the following: • The value of data analytics for Healthcare organizations • How financial leaders can best capture and analyze this data to optimize outcomes • Provide specific examples of organizations that have used data to improve results • How you would monitor and evaluate the progress of your plan towards its objectives in the short and long term? Week 8 Discussion Question (Go with the 1st option) Capital Budgeting Capital projects for Healthcare organizations are inherently risky.

As part of your response, share an example of either: o Your experience in helping to develop a capital budget, explaining the scope of the project, the budgeting process and the outcome. OR o The story of a capital-intensive project undertaken by a Healthcare provider reported in the Wall Street Journal or other reputable Healthcare news source that went significantly over budget or did not generate the promised returns after completion.
