Health care Capstone Project

Health care project Student name Student number School name Introduction The report looks at the criteria of mobilizing grants for the increasing diagnostic services in care and concern free health clinic. The estimated cost stands at $ 25,000 for the year 2012. The grant will cover up out of pocket diagnostic service costs being paid out by the clinic. Criteria Grant mobilization for the clinic will take different criteria. The clinic mandate is to provide free health care services to patients. It works closely with health care volunteers and clinic staff from the church, local community, schools, and government hospitals. The project seeks to mobilize grants that will aid in provision of health care services to the patients in line with its objectives. In order to cater for the increasing cost of diagnostic services, the hospital will request for increased funding from its current and new funders. This will be done through sending request letters requesting them to provide for the increased budget and call workshops with current volunteers to explain the need for the increased funding. The clinic intends to reach out to new funders, from both public and private entities to boost the financial capabilities of the clinic. Interview with the clinic staff and administrators will give a guide on the requirement of the clinic, financial position, and ability to perform. Combining this information with health administration theories will give basic foundation for the proposal.

Communication plan: effective communication is essential for the success of this project. Communication within the clinic, patients and external players such as donors on the progress of the project is essential for its sustainability. Communication is essential in sending important information, for instance to announce a new directive. Posters can be used to communicate to patients about their role in quality health care. Sustainability and development: The project success will combine implementing mechanisms and the role of all stakeholders, (Cash and Fox, 1992). Government through the ministry of health, locals, the religious community, volunteers and health institutes participating in the project process need to be involved. ...
