What is a SWOT analysis? The SWOT is an organizational performance tool used to conduct a situation analysis. SWOT is an acronym, which stands for the following factors: Strengths- factors that leverages the organizational performance Weaknesses- factors that will affect the health care organization (cost, quality, etc). Opportunities- factor that improve initiatives for the organization. Threats- factors that could negatively affect organizational performance. A SWOT analysis is a strategic planning exercise used to evaluate an organization’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. The SWOT analysis should match the organization’s resources and capabilities to the competitive environment in which it operates. The analysis should help guide the organization’s formulation and selection of strategy. The SWOT analysis framework is often represented in a 2 x2 matrix. (See template below).
