The external assessment examines an organization's historical performance and the market trends to identify factors that may impact future performance. It has five main components: 1) Review of demographic, economic, and health trends to identify broad factors and growth areas. 2) Review of healthcare delivery trends over 3-5 years and forecasts. 3) Competitor analysis using multiple data sources. 4) Market research on the organization's position and external factor predictions. 5) Analysis of publicly available market forecasts and projections across service lines. The end product is a concise summary of the market structure and key points.

A complete strategic plan will always include an external assessment. The
external assessment should examine the organizations historical performance as it relates to its respective marketplace, including analysis of the markets historical performance as well as anticipated future trends and forecasts. The external assessment has five main components: 1. Review of demographic, economic, and health status conditions This task identifies broad trends and variables that will impact organizational performance. In addition, this task can assist in possibly identifying geographical areas or population segments that exhibit potential for future development. 2. Review of the state of healthcare delivery This piece of the assessment will review applicable healthcare technology, delivery, reimbursement, regulatory, teaching, and research trends to identify any significant environmental factors that may affect the organizations performance. Major trends in each category should be profiled for the previous three to five years. In addition, forecasts of predicted trends for the next three to five years should be identified and discussed. 3. Analysis of competitors A thorough competitor analysis should be conducted that is based on data from a variety of sources at all geographic levels (i.e., locally, state-wide, regionally, nationally) 4. Primary market research Market research should ideally provide relevant information on the organizations position in its marketplace relative to its competitors, as well as predictions for likely changes in external factors. Senior leadership from competitor organizations, community leaders, and other individuals with relevant knowledge of the healthcare delivery system typically serve as ideal research targets. 5. Assessment of market forecasts and implications Previously compiled data from publicly available forecasts should be collected and analyzed. If additional forecasts are required, projections should include analysis of all major health service components such as acute, post-acute, and ambulatory care services by major service lines. The end product of the external assessment should be a complete and concise summary of the organizations market structure. A brief report with highlighting of key points (including a handful of relevant charts/graphs) should suffice. If necessary, additional materials may be available for back-up support.
