IHP 670 Module Five Project Preparation Guidelines and Rubric

Overview

Thus far, you have iden�fied a health or healthcare problem and completed your needs assessment for this program. You decided to use the logic model for your program planning and have

already started building the model.

Now, you must plan the budget for your program. Budge�ng is the process of crea�ng a plan that shows when the money will be spent, why it will be spent, and whether it will be covered by

income from a funding source. No ma�er what the need for a program is, it requires a well-planned budget. Without a well-es�mated, pre-approved budget, no program can move forward.

In this assignment, you will fill in the Proposed Program Budget Template provided for your program with appropriate figures and then give the ra�onale for your budget es�ma�ons. Before

your program plan can be implemented, your senior management needs to know the costs associated with the in-house and acquired resources for the first 12 months of your program, the

costs incurred once, and the ongoing expenses. They also need you to determine the expected sources of program income, which may include revenue from billing, savings, dona�ons, or

grant funding, along with the amount expected from each source. You will provide the es�mated program budget to your senior management to help them make financial decisions related to

your program.

Prompt

Fill out your proposed first-year program budget, and write a reflec�on on the items you included in the budget, as well as their es�mated costs or revenues.

Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:

1. Purpose of the Budget: Describe the purpose of your program budget, along with your approach toward budge�ng.

2. Resource Costs: Es�mate the resource costs for your program, including the in-house and acquired resources for 12 months, and explain why these resources are essen�al for the

program. Consider the following ques�ons to

guide your response:

How would you differen�ate between in-house and acquired resources?

Which calcula�ons would you use to es�mate resource costs for 12 months?

3. One-Time Costs: Determine the one-�me costs for your program, and describe why this calcula�on is important for es�ma�ng the program budget. Consider the following ques�on to

guide your response:

Which resources would you include under the one-�me costs? Provide a ra�onale for each inclusion.

4. Ongoing Costs: Determine the components of ongoing costs you would list under this category. Consider the following ques�ons to guide your response:

Which resources would you include under ongoing (con�nuing) costs? Provide a ra�onale for each inclusion.

5. Expected Sources of Income, Savings, and Funding: Determine the expected income, savings, and/or funding sources for your program, and describe how they meet your expense

needs. Consider the following ques�ons to guide your response:

Which types of funding would you prefer for your program and why?

Would the program’s income sustain your program into the second year?

Note that all the claims in your deliverable should be evidence based. Your cita�ons should be from your independent search for evidence (not from the scenario, textbook, or module

resources) of credible sources and be current within the last five years. You are required to cite a minimum of one source overall. Refer to the Shapiro Library Guide: Nursing—Graduate

Note: Donations are money or gifts of things, donated by an individual, family, or trust, that are intended to be used for a charitable purpose. Per the donation regulations applied to healthcare organizations, only 5% of a donation may be used to fund operating expenses on an annual basis. For example, if the Smith family donated $100,000 to a nonprofit healthcare organization, only $5,000 of that donation could be spent annually on whatever purpose the Smith family designated for the gift. However, the full amount of a donation can be used to purchase equipment or to purchase or renovate space, with the donor’s consent. Equipment maintenance is an ongoing cost and cannot be funded by donations, except via the 5% rule. People, staff, supplies, and rental costs cannot be funded by donations except through the 5% rule. The rules regarding the use of donations are much more limiting for for-profit organizations vs. nonprofit organizations. Grants are very specific about what will and will not be covered. They require a written grant request or proposal that specifically states how the money will be used. Once a grant is awarded, the receiving organization must show proof that the money was used as directed by the grantor and as stated in the grant application. Grants are usually time sensitive and often nonrenewable. Most are designed to help initiate a program, not to sustain a program.
