Instructions
This assessment addresses the following course objective(s):
Analyze models and incentives of healthcare delivery across the continuum of care.
Compare models and theories of healthcare delivery reform in the U.S.

Develop a model to reform a specified portion of the healthcare delivery system.
For this assignment, you will assume the role of a hospital executive, managing a crisis. This assignment has two parts: a press release and a question & answer document.
Choose a crisis that could occur at a hospital or health care facility.  The definition and scope of the crisis is determined by you. This could be a bomb threat, active shooter threat, risk of the hospital losing accreditation, the onset of a major pandemic that will exhaust all hospital resources (both talent and supplies) before it ends, or any other crisis you can imagine and wish to identify. 

Part 1
As the chief executive, you must update media about the crisis. In 250 – 300 words, write a “press release” that provides updated information about the crisis, expected or underway. Keep in mind, you must protect your stakeholders, including patients and employees, by maintaining a cool head and dealing only with facts, not emotion.
Part 2
List six questions you could expect to be asked by media, in response to your press release. For each question, provide your response (responding from your role as chief executive of the hospital).
