Anticipating future trends is a component of strategic planning that will help an institution stay
competitive. For the final project, imagine that you are a senior executive providing a report to
the CEO of a health care institution in preparation for strategic planning to set future goals. 
1. To prepare for this final project, do the following:
Watch this video: Jack Uldrich: Future Trends in Healthcare –

Read this article: Cognizant Five Key Trends Reshaping the Future of Healthcare –
http://repo.pmi.edu/online/Master_Documents/HCA325_Leadership_in_Health_Care_Ma
nagement/Lesson_7/Five-Key-Trends-Reshaping-the-Future-of-Healthcare.pdf 
Go to TED MED (https://www.tedmed.com/) and watch one or more of the
presentations.
Research the online library and find at least one recent peer-reviewed journal article on
future health care trends that you find relevant
Note: Additional credible research materials are encouraged. As a reminder, no more than
20% of your paper should be from other sources, as your paper should reflect your original
thoughts about the sources you are using.
2. Next, prepare your final paper. It should be three pages, double-spaced, and should
demonstrate your critical thinking and strategic analysis skills to address the following areas:
Introduce the topic of awareness of health care trends and why it is important for the
institution to be up-to-date on trends. 
Write the body of the paper, reflecting on how one or more of these emerging health
care trends will impact health care access and quality, as well as our population’s
health. 
Explain how one or more of these emerging ideas might affect health care strategic
thinking and leadership. 
Address how future health care trends might impact strategic partnership development in
the community. 
Conclude with key highlights to consider at the upcoming strategic planning retreat. 
In this paper, you will need to incorporate the library article you found along with the TED
presentation, video, and article and any other research and lesson material applicable. Include
in-text citations for sources and detailed references at the end. Include a title page before the
body of the paper and a reference page at the end.
