(SOLVED) DNP_840A_DPI_Project_Management_Timeline_and_Budget Template 1

Assessment Description

Creating a timeline and budget for your project is an often underestimated core skill. Projects often have hidden time commitments and costs that lead to unexpected expenses, which creates unintended barriers to project completion and sustainability. In collaboration with your mentor and senior leadership at your project site, create a timeline and budget for your DPI Project. This timeline and budget will be embedded in your final manuscript.

Directions:

Part 1:

1. Create a detailed project timeline using the “DPI Project Management Timeline” section of the “DPI Project Management Timeline and Budget Template.” 
2. Review each activity in the timeline.
3. Identify the course that each activity was completed.  (I will put the courses in)
4. Document the start date, the number of days required to complete the activity, and the end date.
5. For activities that have not yet been achieved, document an estimated start date, number of days required to complete the activity, and the end date.

Part 2:

1. Create a detailed project budget using the “DPI Project Budget” section of the “DPI Project Management Timeline and Budget Template.” 
2. Include anticipated costs for direct and indirect costs, fixed and variable costs, labor and materials, travel, equipment and space, and license and miscellaneous expense.
3. Justify the total anticipated costs in 50-150 words per section.
4. Each section must be answered. If one section does not apply to your DPI Project, include an explanation as to why.

DPI Project Budget

Directions: Complete the following table for your DPI Project Budget. Each portion much be answered. If one portion does not apply to your project, an explanation needs to be given as to why. Expenses may fit into more than one category. If you find this is the case, add additional rows to account for all possible combinations.

Expenses	Direct or Indirect Cost	Fixed or Variable Cost	Total Anticipated Cost	The rationale for Total Anticipated Cost (50-150 words each)
Labor	ü	ü	$4500	Labor is an essential aspect of the quality improvement initiative. The implementation of kidney disease outcome quality initiative nutritional guidelines would require collaboration between nephrologists, dialysis technicians, dietitians, dialysis doctors, and medical social workers. The estimated costs of labor could be massive due to wage considerations. However, the facility’s administration will reimburse the costs of labor for interdisciplinary team members. The indicated budget of $1500 will account for the need to hire additional healthcare professionals on a contract basis across the 12 weeks of project implementation.
Materials	ü	ü	$1500	Besides the costs of labor, materials are the primary and costly requirements for healthcare projects. When implementing the Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative Nutrition Guideline project, the facility will incur the costs of additional supplies, including water test kits, dialysate bottles, drain bags and drain lines, and materials for information dissemination, including printed guidelines and posters. Fortunately, the facility has advanced, functional equipment, curtailing the costs of materials.
Travel		ü	$250	Notably, the primary objective of implementing the project is to assess the impact of the Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative Nutrition Guideline on interdialytic weight gain among end-stage renal disease adults. Although the interdisciplinary team will primarily operate within the facility, there will be incidences of care coordination with home-based care providers. Therefore, it would be essential to budget for travel expenses. One strategy that may reduce travel expenses is the utilization of telehealth modalities for care coordination.
Equipment	ü	ü	$1500	Proper alignment of the facility’s equipment will guarantee effective implementation and sustenance of the quality improvement initiative. Already the facility has functional equipment that supports hemodialysis services, including dialysis machines, beds, chairs, isolation rooms, and drainage systems. However, effective implementation of this initiative will require additional equipment in the form of research systems to improve guideline development processes and multi-frequency bioimpedance analysis (mfBIA) devices for assessing patients’ pre-and-post intervention interdialytic weight gain.
Space	ü		$0	Space rent is a direct or indirect cost that may be contractually agreed-upon terms that do not fluctuate unless property owners and tenants agree to renegotiate a new lease agreement. In the context of the proposed quality improvement initiative, the hemodialysis facility will not incur any space costs because it is established on permanent office space, eliminating the need for any lease agreement.
License		ü	$0	Healthcare facilities may require license when implementing heath promotion projects or community-based health interventions with ethical and health significance to the target population. The purpose of the licensure process is to ascertain that the facility has incorporated all ethical, professional, and legal standards in all stages of project development. However, the proposed quality improvement initiative is a unit-level project for improving the quality of care for adults with end-stage renal disease, meaning there is no need for licensing.
Miscellaneous Expense		ü	$1000	Miscellaneous expenses are small transactions that are not often captured in the project’s specified budget for direct, indirect, fixed, and variable costs. However, they are essential for project initiation, implementation, and sustenance. In this proposed quality improvement project, the facility will incur miscellaneous expenses in the form of audit and evaluation fees, training expenses, and expenses for lab tests and imaging.
