Select one of the two organizations below (Venice Family Clinic or Joslin Diabetes Center) on which to base your final project capital budget proposal. This will be “your” organization for the remainder of the course. Before you step into the shoes of a manager within that organization, you need to familiarize yourself with the organization’s finances and mission as well as begin to draw connections between healthcare trends and the organization. This assignment will guide you through the selection of your role and department as well as your preliminary review and analysis of the organization.
First, start with your department selection. identify a department which is likely to exist within the organization. The department can have a clinical function (e.g., surgery or radiology) or a support function. If you do not have experience working in healthcare, you might want to identify a department with a support function that is similar to one in which you have worked in the past, such as accounting, human resources, facilities, etc. Doing so will give you more insight into the potential needs of the department. Creating your proposal will require close analysis of historical budgetary information for the organization, research regarding healthcare trends, and careful alignment of your proposal to the organization’s mission, vision, and values.
