Project Objectives
• Specific:
• The specific objective of the entire program is to
ensure that the adequate medical facility reaches
the elderly people in the right time and in the most
appropriate manner.
• Measurable:
• One of the most important thing that needs to be
measured objectively is the proportion of the ageing
population that is going to be present in the total
patient footprint to be recorded by the new primary
health centre.

Project Objectives
•Achievable:
The target that has been set up is very much achievable. The reason
being that the infrastructure that is needed for the better and
effective implementation and commencement of the primary health
care facility is readily available in the market. The only requirement is
to utilise the same for the purpose of delivery of quality and
affordable care that is directed towards the elderly population of the
area.
Realistic:
• The goal that has been ascertained is very realistic in nature. The
reason being that the service that is to be provided to the patients
is directed towards a niche of patients.

Project strategies (what is actually going to
be done)
• Based on evidence of “what works”
For the purpose of ensuring that the safety component of the
project planning is taken care of, the strategies will be based
on the result that had been previously obtained by several
centres that have completed their construction and have
started their operations too.
• Actionable:
The process of starting the centre will have to be
commenced immediately.
• Feasible:
The revenue that is going to be generated by the project
corresponding to the costs that are being incurred in its
respect must be ascertained and fixed objectively.

Project strategies (what is actually
going to be done)
• Sustainable:
The operations of the hospital must be conducted in
such a manner that it ensures that the services and
the care that is being delivered to the elderly patients
are sustainable in nature.
• Able to address political and stakeholder issues:
The hospital must ensure that no mal practices in
pursuance of delivery of the care and service to the
elderly patients be adopted by the health centre. The
reason for this is that the same would attract a levy of
heavy interference from the government.

Risk analysis and contingency plans
• Incurring of huge capital expenditure:
The health care centre may have to incur heavy
capital expenditure due to the fact that the equipment
and the stuff required for the purpose of taking care of
the elderly people are more in quantum than the
younger people
• The non-availability of trained staff who specialise in
the care of the elderly:
The care that has to be given to the elderly people is
way more intensive and time consuming than
demanded by the younger people.

Project resources required
• Building:
It is one of the most basic needs of the primary health care
centre. A building will be needed for the purpose of conducting
all the services that are to be provided to the patients.
• Equipment:
There is medical equipment that will have to be acquired for the
purpose of delivery of the quality care to the elderly people of
the area.
• Consumables:
The consumables refer to the one time use items that are
required for conducting the operations of the clinic on a daily
basis.

11Health Services Management | School of Medicine
Project resources required
• Electricity:
For the purpose of ensuring that the equipment and the other
appliances of the centre operate properly the availability of the
regular flow of electricity is required in the medical centre.
• Water supply:
The water supply must be ensured in the centre. It is one of the
most important and basic requirement of any establishment
especially in case of a medical centre.
• Waste disposal:
Being a medical health care centre the same will generate huge
amount of bio-chemical waste. The same should be disposed of
with utmost care by the establishment.
