Question 1 Review your current budget. Taking this information into account, what are some strategies you would use to identify resources to focus on improving efficiency and meeting customer expectations during this time?

Budget Considerations Operational Budget- This budget focuses on a broader view of the total operations of the organization in which all departments are reviewed for both their income potential and the costs associated with the work activities used to generate projected revenues. Each department will have its own budget for the managers to follow and on which to base the activities of the department in order to meet its contribution to the total revenues and the asso- ciated costs of the organization. Dietary Services- This is a departmental budget focused on the costs and potential reimbursement for the organization. The operation is overseen by a dietitian or nutritionist who is responsible for supplying the nutritional needs of the patients within their care. This department may utilize the services of several consultants or contract this service to an outside organization. Medical Supplies This budget is focused specifically on the requirement-based services being delivered by the hospital professional, which are often referred to as nondurable disposable items. This budget includes specific items for the surgeon or professional performing the services. These may include such things as oxygen supplies diabetic supplies, ostomy supplies, bandages, and related supportive items. These items are generally manu- factured for one-time use. They are not reused due the inability to sterilize them. The items that are reusable are classified under capital assets and have a use-time identified with the specific piece of equipment. Human-Resources- This budget indicates the finances needed to support the organization's objectives, from a personnel perspective. Full-time equivalent (FTE) calculations are used to project the personnel budget. These individuals could include nonskilled labors to professional licensed physicians and various job descriptions within the categories. In addition to listing the FTES, the associated benefits of the FTES would be projected within this department for each FTE within the organization. This will generally include line items for consultants and tempo- rary positions based on the needs of the organization. Maintenance/Facility Operations- This departmental budget focuses on the overall upkeep of the building and the related equipment and machines to provide a safe and comfortable environment for both the patients and workers. This budget includes all FTES and may also include line items for consultants and outside sources based on needs of the facility. Vendor/External Suppliers - Health service organizations have special needs and may require certain exter nal items and/or services. Most organizations have projected budgets to include the purchase of supplies and services for outside contractors (vendors) who specialize in installation, monitoring, and the repair of specialized equipment or technology being utilized by the specific health care delivery system. Departmental Costs- This budget focuses on the specific department and its overall needs, costs, and po- tential revenue in relation to the overall goals of the organization's strategic plan. The manager's primary responsi- bility is to monitor the operational efficiency of the department, including all areas that directly impact and support the generating of revenue for the organization. Managers may be required to present an analysis of the weekly or monthly operational analysis to the Chief Financial Officer of the organization or a lead manager Budget Spreadsheet Revenue 2011 2012 2013 Donations 75,200 50,000 55,000 125,780 Grants and Foundations 100,000 80,500 695,120 Government Grants 878,000 947.280 10,000 8,000 Interest Expense 6,050 906,100 1,021,500 1,103,330 Total 2012 2013 2011 Expenses 2,668,951 2,558,265 2,482,845 Health Center 125,000 100,000 110,000 Administrative Staff 100,000 150,000 80,000 Professional Staff 210,987 230,985 214,888 Family/Youth Services 159,000 152,000 140,000 General Management/Administration 3,333,936 3,131,252 3,017.733 Total
