Department & care
Putting together a department project
New position, task delegation, equipment, team seminar: a presentation for hospital management and a medico-economic section, prepared in one session.
The problem
Obtaining a nurse position with delegated tasks, a piece of equipment or protected time for nursing research requires a file for hospital management: need, organization, benefit for patients, costs and revenue. This file is often built in the evening, without a template.
Step-by-step method
- Scope: what need, for which patients, what target organization, which counterpart (nursing directorate, finance directorate, clinical division).
- Gather what exists: department activity (official figures), texts governing task delegation or the cooperation protocol, experiences published elsewhere.
- A presentation for management in about a dozen slides: current situation, project, organization, timeline, monitoring indicators.
- Medico-economic section in a few slides: costs, expected revenue, explicit assumptions and sources.
- Successive versions according to feedback, never overwritten.
- Research section if the project lends itself to it: nursing team seminar, budget set-up, call for projects.
Deliverable
A presentation and a medico-economic note with traceable assumptions.
Safeguards
Activity and cost figures come from the institution’s departments, not from an AI estimate; each assumption is flagged as such.
Starter prompt
I want to propose [project] to hospital management. Here is the department’s activity and my notes. Propose an outline for a 12-slide presentation and a 5-slide medico-economic section, with the source of each figure or “to be provided”.
