Project Plan Overview
[ send me this essay ]
A 6 page project plan enabling a hospital to charge reduced prices for prescription drugs for uninsured and underinsured patients. In the past it has been impossible for any hospital to charge reduced prices for prescription drugs for fear of charges of fraud by Medicare. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) requires that Medicare prices be the lowest charged by any health care provider; its relatively new prescription discount plans bring with them permission for hospitals to charge less for uninsured or underinsured patients. Reducing charges to patients provides a service to patients and does not adversely affect the hospital. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Project Plan Synthesis
[ send me this essay ]
A 10 page paper integrating earlier task and risk management plans and a project forecast for an IT project at Acme Hospital enabling it to supply discounted prescription drugs to patients without risking possible fraud charges by Medicare. Medicare's new prescription drug plan clears the way for the hospital to offer lower-cost prescription drugs to non-Medicare patients. In the short term, it may be that the hospital's total revenues from prescription drug sales decline slightly, but this is only a very short-term effect. In the longer term the hospital can expect higher total revenues from prescription drug sales as Acme supplies greater numbers of prescriptions to the local community. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
