Project to Improve Heart Care in a Hospital Facility
Introduction to the Project
According to Rooney and Arbaje (2012), it is the high time to move beyond traditional practices of medical care model and introduce care programs from a patient's perspective. Chronic heart diseases have become one of the most common health care issues in the US and UK, which have resulted in growing economic and life cost (Stewart et. al., 2002). The project is aimed at introducing a new heart care intervention in ABC hospital facility in an attempt to minimize the growing health care cost of heart failure (Linne et. al., 2000). The project will be conducted within the time frame of nine months. Table 1 provides a brief overview of Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for the Cardio project.

The overall emphasis of this project is to enhance the effectiveness of heart care facility offered by ABC Hospital. The project is determined to accomplish three smart goals:
To introduce patient based interventions of heart care
To minimize the heart failure cost by 5%
To improve nurse specialist management by 5%
Budget Development
The project budget is designed for an existing health care facility, which is offering heart care services to patients. The budget is based on certain assumptions regarding operating performance, revenues and associated costs of the project (Linne et. al., 2000). At the time of project commencement, the hospital will be earning revenue from operating and non-operating sources as illustrated by table 2.
