Develop and analyze a budget for your proposed healthcare product or service. To do this, complete the following:
Part 1: Develop the Budget Worksheet:
Open your Excel Assignment Workbook and navigate to the “W6A4 Budget Development” worksheet.
- Using the Healthcare Budget Request Guide for guidance, create a 5-year budget for the healthcare product or service that records the projected expenses and revenues associated with the healthcare product or service you have proposed. Be sure to include startup and operating expenses in your budget. You may bring forward the work from the W4A3 Estimated Expenses assignment and add to it.
- Calculate the budget ratios as directed in the Healthcare Budget Request Guide.
NOTE: You will copy your worksheet and analysis onto the Healthcare Budget Request Template (Word document) for submission. You will need to submit both the Healthcare Budget Request (a Word Document) and an Excel Spreadsheet for your Assignment submission. Please be sure only to submit your Assignment once you have uploaded these two components of your W6A4 Assignment.
Part 2: Summary of Analysis and Interpretation of Results:
Create a brief (1- to 2-page) description of your budget and analysis that clearly describes the budget. Be sure to address the following:
- During the course of 5 years, is there an estimated surplus or deficit?
- What percentages of the budget are dedicated to various categories you have defined, such as startup costs, etc.?
- What does this budget mean for your organization?
Place your analysis on the Healthcare Budget Request Template under the section titled W6A4 Projected Budget (Five Year).
