Project Management for Healthcare Professionals

Section 1: Introduction

Project Mission Statement

The proposed project’s mission is to address the critical need for accessible and quality healthcare services in the west side of the city by opening a new urgent care center. The project will focus on identifying the optimal location for the center. It is important to ensure it is easily accessible to approximately 81,000 residents, who currently have to travel long distances to access care. The urgent care center will be strategically located near high-traffic stores, such as Wal-Mart, Sam’s Club, CVS, and Walgreens, to increase accessibility. The center will provide comprehensive urgent care services, including after-hours care, to improve health outcomes and increase access to care for the underserved community.

Project Objectives

The objectives of the project are as follows:

  1. Increase access to health care. The primary objective of the new urgent care center is to improve public health and provide basic clinical care for families and patients on the west side of the city. By providing a new healthcare facility, it is anticipated that it will lessen the burden on other urgent care clinics in the city (Allen, Cummings, & Hockenberry, 2021). Moreover, it will decrease the travel time for residents on the west side of the city.
  2. Expand clinical services. This urgent care center will provide primary care options to residents. In addition, the center will also offer x-ray and lab options for patients, which should help in timely diagnosis and treatment. By expanding clinical services, we aim to provide high-quality medical care and reduce the burden on the emergency department of the centralized hospital (Allen, Cummings & Hockenberry, 2021; Coster et al., 2017).
  3. Improve affordability. The urgent care center will represent an affordable option for care, with referrals to local physicians and facilities. By providing affordable medical care, we aim to improve the overall health and well-being of the community, especially for those who cannot afford to pay high medical bills (Coster et al., 2017).
  4. Enhance patient experience. The urgent care center will focus on providing a seamless patient experience, which includes reducing wait times. This will ensure that patients receive prompt and personalized care, in a welcoming environment. By enhancing patient experience, we aim to build a loyal patient base and attract new patients to the facility (Prakash, 2010).
