The U.S. health care system costs $3.3 trillion last year and delivered too little value (Blumenthal, 2017). For most Americans, health care is not only expensive but also fragmented, inconvenient, and physically inaccessible.  Aetna, CVS, UnitedHealth Group and DaVita are health care stakeholders who are engaging in mergers and acquisitions to produce a higher quality product.  Review the article “Is M&A the Cure for a Failing Health Care System?” at https://hbr.org/2017/12/is-ma-the-cure-for-a-failing-health-care-system in Harvard Business Review.
Congratulations; you have been selected as the new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of a local hospital.  Within six months of taking the job, you learn your health care organization is considering a merger.  Your first task is to conduct a PESTLE Analysis.  Use critical thinking skills and metacognition to research current events in the macro environment of the local hospital in your area.  Your hospital selection will be the same hospital used throughout this course.  Review the website information on your hospital selection and prepare a 10-slide Microsoft PowerPoint narrative using a PESTLE Analysis
