Module SLP ASSIGNMENT: RESOURCE ALLOCATION AND THE FUTURE OF FINANCE-RELATED HEALTHCARE REFORM
This Module's SLP is intended to allow you to apply the workings of capital budgeting in an experiential way. Using the assigned background readings, as well as some independent peer-reviewed research of your own, apply the basic principles of capital budgeting to a real life, practical case. Be sure to use subheadings to show where you're responding to each of the following required items. Include the organization's capital budget data as an Appendix at the end of your assignment.
1. Identify a healthcare organization (inpatient or outpatient, real or fictitious), and explain the various components of their capital budget. Many examples of capital budgets can be located online with a quick search (search for "healthcare capital budget example"). You may also use one of the example budgets in Dr. Nowicki's textbook (2018); choose one that is presented within the chapters, or one that is included at the very end of the textbook (see required background reading). Once you identify a capital budget to evaluate, be as detailed as you can in your descriptions of the lines and trends.
2. Evaluate their cash flow. What critical elements (positive or negative) do you see there? What will be the likely net effect on future of that organization?
3. What recommendations do you have for the organization, after seeing their capital budget? Be as specific as you can, backing up your recommendations with peer-reviewed research.
Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
1. The answer should be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
2. The response also includes a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
3. Also include a reference page. The Citations and references should follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
