Prepare a cost estimate for the project.  At the moment this can be at a high level.  Prepare a spreadsheet that includes the following costs:

• One desktop PC for the OR manager's office with a standard PC monitor.
• One PC mounted on a mobile cart (such as the ones on www.flohealthcare.com or www.paritymedical.com).  This computer will need to have a pair of medical monitors (such as the RadiForce range from www.eizo.com) so the surgeon can see two x-rays displayed side by side.  This PC will also need a special infection control keyboard and mouse (also available from Parity Medical, for example) to minimize the dirt in the OR. 
• One PC with one medical monitor for each of the three new consulting rooms (making a total of five computers, five medical monitors and one ordinary monitor for the whole project).
• Desks, mice, and mouse pads for each of the office-based new computers.
• Software on each of the computers to provide internet access, word processing, spreadsheets and email (for example, Microsoft Office).
• Software on each of the computers for orthopedic templating, such as OrthoView (www.orthoview.com).
•  A high-end laser printer and a fax machine for the OR manager's office.
• Four desk telephones that will be connected to the hospital telephony circuit.
• Time for outsourced computer experts to install the computers, wireless network, and phones.
• Maintenance costs over a three year period (assume 8% of purchase price).
• Taxes.  Assume a rate of 17.5% for the UK Value Added Tax.
• Time for one (or more) outsourced trainers to run one-to-one sessions with 15 staff to show them the new orthopedic templating software. Assume a total of four hours of training for each staff member, which equates to 60 training hours. Assume a rate of $115 per hour for the trainer.
• Do not include costs for the staff to attend the training.
