Discussion Post: Brainstorming the Business Case
Post a statement describing at least one gap and/or opportunity for enhanced services or approaches within your healthcare organization (Psychiatric Behavioral hospital). For each gap or opportunity, identify one possible solution, applying systems thinking to your approach. Be sure to address financial (including budgetary) impacts of your solutions, consulting as needed with your finance counselor.
In this discussion, you will identify each of the 3 items below (start up cost, operating cost and revenue). Examples might be:
Start-Up Cost: Purchasing equipment. Training personnel to use it. Initial supplies.
Operating Costs: Salaries, supplies, etc. (be specific)
REVENUE: You must have a revenue source. It may be cost savings or generate a fee that you will calculate the average collection rate. or SAVINGS to illustrate cost avoidance.
Where can you find revenues?
1) Organizational or Unit budgets (or those that manage the finances in your organization)
2) Annual Reports (this gives a figure that you can work with that may not be perfect BUT will work for these assignments).
3) Sales information for large purchase items
4) Technology or Biomedical Department if it is technology.
