BUSI 691 Healthcare Administration Capstone Sample Papers, Week by Week

Liberty University · MS in Healthcare Administration · Health and healthcare administration · Updated

BUSI 691 closes the MS in Healthcare Administration by asking students to think like a strategist: read the environment, judge an organization's position, weigh options and turn a choice into a plan someone can carry out. The samples below follow one strategic question per assignment: a rural hospital deciding whether to join a system, an ambulatory surgery center opening across the street, a cardiology service line, employing physicians, a safety-net hospital's turnaround, hospital at home, a scorecard after an acquisition and an artificial intelligence strategy.

What BUSI 691 covers

Walston's Strategic Healthcare Management: Planning and Execution anchors the course; students take in between one and three of its chapters each module/week, with cases from the book used for the Assurance of Learning exercises.

Groups post one 600-word thread and two 200-word replies for each of four forums, each with Scripture and two peer-reviewed citations beyond the text. Three group case analyses and one individual analysis of a safety-net hospital case run three to five pages with at least three peer-reviewed sources, and a peer evaluation follows each group case.

Liberty's 2026-2027 catalog describes BUSI 691 Healthcare Administration Capstone this way:
This capstone course for all healthcare administration majors seeks to integrate the concepts, techniques, and knowledge of all areas of healthcare administration. Its focus is strategic management, which is studied in theory and then rigorously applied. This course is designed for final semester seniors.

Where BUSI 691 papers lose points

BUSI 691 papers lose points when they summarize a case instead of diagnosing it, when alternatives are listed without being compared on the same criteria, when the recommendation has no timeline, owner or measure and when group members write sections that never agree on the central problem.

Using a BUSI 691 sample well

Each sample states the strategic issue in a sentence, analyzes it with a named tool from the text, compares at least two real options against evidence and ends with a plan a leadership team could adopt. The group cases use composite organizations in place of the book's cases, so carry the method, not the facts, into your own exercise.
