Understanding how to manage the operational budget to ensure the viability of the department and ultimately the financial success of the healthcare organization is a responsibility of healthcare managers. This week, you will analyze the operational budget of Sunnyside Nursing Home. Your analysis will include the impact of patient volume on revenue, staffing, and quality of care. New programs at the nursing home need a marketing plan to attract patients, as patient census and a steady volume improves the proportion of payroll costs year over year and secures jobs for the employees. You will have the opportunity to update Excel spreadsheets, fill in staffing data, and reflect on the financial outlook of Sunnyside. You will then develop a PowerPoint presentation to summarize your financial analysis and apply the concepts we have covered over this course. This Assignment will give you experience with managing a healthcare budget.
Consider the following scenario: Sunnyside Nursing Home is an independent 200-bed nursing home in a community in southern New Jersey. The average daily census for the nursing home was 140 in 2015, 2016, and the first half of 2017. In late 2016, the nursing home became licensed to provide in-patient hospice services, which has been quite successful. In 2017, the nursing home started marketing their hospice services, with an average census of 10 patients and, in July 2017, finally saw an exponential increase in hospice utilization.
The Assignment is composed of two parts, and both must be submitted. Be sure to submit the PowerPoint presentation as the first part and then upload the Excel spreadsheet as the second part of the Assignment.

The Assignment (6 to 9 slide PowerPoint Presentation):
The Assignment Template provided can help guide you in creating this presentation. Please address the following in your presentation:
Briefly describe Sunnyside Nursing Home from the information calculated in your completed spreadsheets.
Differentiate between capacity, utilization, performance, and financial indicators utilized at Sunnyside Nursing Home.
Summarize key variances (positive or negative) you uncovered during your analysis (data only) of Nursing Unit 2 West. Focus on the most significant variance items.
What do you believe led to the variances you identified?
Because certain line items in a budget are more controllable than others, what actions might you recommend to the Sunnyside Nursing Home administrator to help the healthcare manager manage the sudden and sustained increase in patient census in hospice patients?
Is the increase in that patient population a financially sound investment for Sunnyside? Why or why not? (Review the Hospice tab on the spreadsheet for ideas.)
What top three recommendations would you make as you conclude your presentation and why?
Make sure to follow APA guidelines and support your presentation with references.

Interview an executive project steering committee member, sponsor or project manager of a significant project initiative at a company of your choice. Focus the interview on the use and value of project measures and metrics beyond the triple constraints.
