A program budgetary needs assessment determines the financial needs of a small group or program in order to assist schools in allocating funds based on needs and priorities. A program budget review requires looking at key information about a program in order to develop a clear picture of how the program fits into the school’s continuous improvement plan.
Part 1: Budget Summary
For this assignment, to help familiarize you with budgets, analyze the budget of a small group at your site. If you cannot access a small group budget, you may utilize the “Small Group Sample Budget.”
In 250-500 words, write a summary of the budget that includes:
A brief overview of the program or activity including its purpose, structure, and participants
Current budget expenditures, including unexpected (unbudgeted) expenses
Current budget revenue
Non-budgetary resources required to operate and meet organizational goals (e.g., volunteers, facilities, large equipment provided by school or community)
A description of how the budget is monitored, and the process of how unexpected adjustments are made to the budget
Part 2: Program Budgetary Needs Assessment Survey
Create an 8-10 question needs assessment survey in an online survey tool (e.g., Survey Monkey) that you would give to a program or small group leader on a school campus in order to analyze their program’s budgetary needs. You will be administering this needs assessment survey in Topic 2. Examples of possible small groups include special programs, clubs, after school activities, sports clubs, student activities, etc.
The needs assessment survey should address, but not be limited to, the following:
Assessment of the current conditions or the group’s ability to achieve its stated goals or outcomes (e.g., what is working/strengths and what is lacking/areas of opportunity)
Resources required to fulfill the operations of the group
Wants and requests needed for the group
Gaps that are affecting the performance of the group
Provide the link to your online needs assessment survey on the bottom of your summary.
APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.
This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. A link to the LopesWrite Technical Support Articles is located in Class Resources if you need assistance.

“Improving Interprofessional Collaboration through TeamSTEPPS®: A Case Study Analysis” Title: Enhancing Team Performance and Reducing Conflict through Best Practices in Team Leadership and Communication
Objectives:
This assignment is intended to show evidence that you have achieved or are working towards the following learning objectives:
Analyze and describe findings for improvement in a clinical scenario if TeamSTEPPS® methods and practices are used.
Instructions:
Step 1: To begin preparing for your case study analysis first watch this simulation. Within the simulation you’ll be able to identify multiple roles interacting with the patient, at times in conflict.
As you watch the simulation consider the four tenants of TeamSTEPPS®: teamwork, communication, situation monitoring, and mutual support.
Part I–Video: Conflict Management in the Interprofessional Team Simulation (6:03)
Cameron Comstock Actor. (2018, November 14). Shoulder final client [Video]. YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3qHqQMi_M0
Conflict Management in the Interprofessional Team Simulation.docx
As you watch the case study video consider this summary of the case, but also include your own findings:
Personnel Involved: Nurse, OT, AT, PT, Health Administrator
Materials: Professional Code of Ethics, Scope of Practice (State = California), moral model of ethical decision-making
Case Scenario: A newly licensed nurse is delivering massage to a 22-year-old athlete-patient who recently underwent a shoulder reconstruction due to a sport collision-injury. The patient has requested massage to relieve pain. During the delivery of this massage, the physical and occupational therapist arrive to determine course of treatment. Another member of the healthcare team, the athletic trainer, observed surgery and has orders from the surgeon to perform scar tissue massage therapy. All healthcare professionals feel this is in their scope of treatment, how do we proceed? Who is reimbursable? Who should be providing care in this setting? Who needs to get involved, if anyone else?
Additional Points to Consider: The nurse is providing an inappropriate massage that is contraindicated at this stage of the patient’s soft tissue healing. The patient’s insurance has limited post-operative rehabilitation coverage. The PT, OT, and AT feel that each of them should be the rehabilitation discipline managing this patient’s case. Integrate strategies for conflict management of this interprofessional patient scenario to bring this scenario to a patient-centered resolution.
Step 2: Part II–Analysis: Resolving the organizational conflict with TeamSTEPPS® best practices.
As you have completed your coursework you have completed lessons, simulations, and readings on the various techniques, tools, and methods of applying TeamSTEPPS® principles.
Each of you is enrolled in a graduate program at USAHS. As part of your role as a graduate student, you will gain many skills in the program that will lead you to a career path to becoming leaders in your field. In your role as a current or future leader, you will face many challenges in your leadership decision-making. Part of those challenges include ethical dilemmas, differing opinions, team personality conflicts, role differentiation, and leadership discrepancies. All these issues impact the strategic vision of the organization and the organization’s culture, and indirectly or directly the patient’s outcome.
Step 3: For this assignment you will develop a 4-to-6-page paper using APA 7th edition student paper template that analyzes the scenario and describes the best TeamSTEPPS® best practice to improve interprofessional collaboration in future scenarios.
To formulate your paper, you will begin by reviewing the scenario, roles of each team member, and the conflict presented. You will draw upon the skills you have gained throughout the course to develop a best practice solution.
Develop your paper to include the following:
Title page
Introduction
Clinical scenario descriptions (team members and roles, conflict, situation)
Plan to improve interprofessional practice through TeamSTEPPS® (outline at least two concepts and two tools). (2 concepts and 2 Tools I chose :1. Team Leadership-tools- brief, huddle,debrief)(2.Communication-tools -check-back, teach back, closed loop communication)
Explain how the implementation of best practice can influence culture and reduce conflict/harm (hint: shared mental model)
Conclusion
References
You will need to include at least three scholarly sources to support your best practice, one of which may be the AHRQ website. -
