OOverview For this task, you will complete the Module Four worksheet detailing a SWOT analysis to determine the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of a specific healthcare organization’
For this task, focus on a specific product or service within one of the healthcare organizations you selected from the worksheet (the Mayo Clinic, Johns Hopkins, or the Cleveland Clinic). You will complete a SWOT analysis to determine the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to that specific product or service. Do not alter the worksheet or submit the assignment in the form of an essay. Replace bracketed text with relevant information. For this and all worksheets, you are not required to include a cover page. You are expected to provide in-text citations for your sources and a reference list at the end of the worksheet. Based on your SWOT analysis, you will then propose an additional service or product to market for the organization, while also comparing it to a competing healthcare organization’s service or product.
This task is designed to provide practice for the situational analysis, service proposal, and competition analysis that you will complete as part of Final Project Milestone Two in Module Five.

Next, review the following webpages. Select one of the organizations and one of its product or services to analyze:
