Describe the mission and vision for the Rio Valley Continued Care Center.

1. Describe the mission and vision for the Rio Valley Continued Care Center.
2. Discuss a recruitment plan to have key staff on board at least one month prior to opening. What functions will the Director of Nursing have as priorities versus the Licensed Administrator (e.g., business operations and planning for clinical care delivery)? How will you address recruiting licensed professionals? Nurse staffing involves a mix of hires, part time, per diem and contract nursing. How can you attract qualified staff?
3. Prepare a brief marketing plan to reach the census targets. How do you envision this happening?
4. You have a medical director line item. How would you recruit a medical director? What type of physician would be best suited for this administrative role? How would you use a medical director?
5. Given the January start date, it is feasible to be full day one? Discuss how likely the operation is to be profitable by end of the first year. You will need the core administrative team regardless of having 10 patients or 40 patients… it’s the staffing that varies. How likely is it that the operation will be profitable by end of year 2? Consider this when staffing. You need to complete the budget staffing for clinical based on the ratios shown and projected census for years 2 and 3. Complete the 3 budget items and insert them into your narrative.
6. Include a budget narrative showing total revenue and expense and projected net profits for years 1-3 and net profit (or loss) per patient day. If you have targets for PPD expenses, will your budget meet them, or do you have a loss? Note, always copy your Excel spreadsheet as an object and insert it into your paper. If you ‘cut and paste,’ it will not transpose properly.
