I’m stuck on a Health & Medical question and need an explanation.

papers should be at least 4-5 content pages long wth references

General Background

1. The Mission Viejo Medical Center (in the city of Mission Viejo, California) comprises two geographically adjacent institutions:
   1. Mission Hospital Regional Medical Center: Mission Hospital Regional Medical Center, and
   2. Children’s Hospital at Mission (CHM): Children’s Hospital at Mission (CHM)https://www.choc.org/choc-childrens-mission-hospital/
2. The two hospitals serve — within less than a 10-mile radius — the populations of the following nine municipalities: Aliso Viejo, Ladera Ranch, Laguna Hills, Laguna Niguel, Laguna Woods, Lake Forest, Mission Viejo, Rancho Santa Margarita, and San Juan Capistrano.
3. Retirement Communities:
   1. The city of Laguna Woods (https://www.cityoflagunawoods.org/), is home to “Leisure World” (http://www.lagunawoodsvillage.com/), a retirement community of over 23,000 senior (55 years and above) residents.
   2. The city of Mission Viejo is home to “Casta Del Sol,” a retirement community of more than 3,000 senior (55 years and above) residents.
4. Following the example and success of integrating a special CHOC – children’s hospital within the Mission Viejo Hospital, it is suggested for the purpose of MHA599 only, that an additional new hospital wing be built, catering to the special needs of the senior population, to be named: “Golden Age Hospital (GAH)”.
5. The “MHA599 Consulting Team (MHA599CT)” has been tasked to research and develop a project feasibility plan for the future GAH.

The Project

2. 1. Title page – to be submitted in Module 1.
   2. Background – to be submitted in Module 1.
   3. Conclusions and Recommendations – to be submitted in and for all modules.

Module 1 – Assignment – Market Research and Segmentation

1. The External Environment – Data Gathering
   1. Search the Web and gather relevant general information regarding hospitals for seniors and direct data pertaining to the external environment of the proposed GAH
   2. The proposed points below are just “starter points” for you to expound upon and add to as you see fit.
   3. Common medical conditions of seniors:
      1. Overall health status
      2. Unique illnesses

      4. Consolidate all nine city data sets into one table, total where appropriate
2. Based on the data gathered and the general picture you have obtained, we will now focus on direct market research and segmentation of the senior community in the Mission Viejo area.
3. In order to do so, you will need to define/address the following points:
   1. Who are your target market subjects?

   4. What special medical/health services do they wish to get?
   5. What type of physician specialization would they like to have?
   6. Locations: Do they prefer a single medical center (MC) hospital location, or do they prefer a medical center (MC) hospital and a community clinic (CC)?
   7. Other.
4. Survey Questionnaire:
   1. Complete the following proposed survey table – column A, that you plan to use in order to obtain the preferences and perceptions of the seniors of your target segment, assume n=500. GAH Project tables attacged.)
   2. Your instructor will comment on your table and fill out column B
