Question

You are an administrator for a local healthcare organization. You've been asked to assess the feasibility of purchasing an already established private Physical Therapy Clinic that is located 30 miles from your hospital. As part of your assessment, you have identified a vacant building that is only a few miles from the private therapy clinic which you feel may also be a viable option to open up your own Physical Therapy Clinic.

What do you need to take under consideration prior to making a recommendation to the Senior Leadership Team of your organization? How would you determine which option might be the best direction to take? How might your decision fit into your organizations overall strategic plan?
