Outline
The report mainly aims in detecting the overall proposal for a new
department, which could help in opening a Physiotherapy Rehabilitation
centre. Moreover, with the help of local support from health district adequate
measures could be conducted for opening the Physiotherapy Rehabilitation
centre, which could treat phycological treatments. The Physiotherapy
Rehabilitation centre will mainly help in preventing different types of diseases,
which could incur in all age groups. This type of business could eventually
help in minimising the excess cost incurred by the clients in paying for the
treatment. The physiotherapy treatment is different for individuals, which is
mainly detected from unhealthy life style, obesity and stress, The
Physiotherapy Rehabilitation centre will help in treating different physical
attributes of an individual and increase their current health condition.
Background
Individuals in the current era has physical problems, which could hinder
their possibility of living healthy life style. Physiotherapy directly allows
individuals to improve their current health conditions reduce their physical
weakness. Moreover, the number of obesity patients in the current era has
risen immensely, which is affecting their health negatively. In addition,
currently majority of the individuals work in office and have developed
different types of physical problems, which can be dealt with the help of
physiotherapy centres. Adequate specialist needs to be hired, which could
ensure that the patients receive timely treatment for their health condition.
Moreover, the centre needs expenses such as physiotherapist,
5

Rheumatologists, Nurses, X-ray films, Splints, Diclofenac Gel, Gloves,
Electricity, Water, General wastage Disposal, Administrative Officer, and
Rent. After conducting the relevant expenses, the Physiotherapy
Rehabilitation centre can be opened. The impact of Physiotherapy
Rehabilitation centre will mainly be concentrated towards local levels and LHD
levels (Williams, 2016).
The Proposal
The proposal is mainly presented for opening a new Physiotherapy
Rehabilitation center, which could help in the health treatment of individual
suffering from physical problems. The relevant estimation of cost and other
attributes is being conducted in the proposal for implementing a cost-effective
Physiotherapy Rehabilitation center, which could help in the treatment of their
current disorders and physical problems. In addition, the proposals to make
income from the Physiotherapy Rehabilitation center, as maximum of the
individuals suffer from disorder of unhealthy life style, obesity, and stress.
Aims
The aim for opening the new Physiotherapy Rehabilitation centre is to
ensure a continuous service to the individuals suffering from unhealthy life
style, obesity, and stress. The proposal aims in supporting the hospital in
maximining their profits, while curing the individual from their current disorder
or problem. The new Physiotherapy Rehabilitation centre will mainly hold a
different department in the hospital, which will helps serve patients with
physical problems. The new Physiotherapy Rehabilitation centre will also
enable the hospital in improving the level of revenues, which could be
generated from operations. This increment in revenues will eventually improve
6

the level of profits incurred from operations. However, the increment in profits
can be obtained from the high-quality services, which is provided from
Physiotherapy Rehabilitation centre in affordable and reasonable prices. The
other goals is to improve management, increase revenue, and improve
efficiency of the health centre (Hancock, 2016).
Benefits
 Efficiency gains
The increment in efficiency can be evaluated through the continuous
service that will be provided for the particular project. In addition, the
increment in quality of services would directly have an impact on the
operations of the company. Efficiency could also be increased when the
appropriate Physiotherapist will be transferred to the new Physiotherapy
centre, as it might help in improving efficiency in treatment of clients.
Furthermore, the overhead incurred by the department of Physiotherapy
centre will be considered, which might help in understanding the level of
efficiency associated with the treatment of new Physiotherapy patients
(Handmaker & Hart, 2015).
 Potential savings/increased costs
The proposal is mainly allowing the Health care centre for minimising any
kind of patient’s loss, which was previously conducted by the centre due to
the nonexistence of new Physiotherapy centre. However, the implementation
of the new Physiotherapy centre will incur additional machines and equipment
cost that will be incurred by the Heath care centre. This will mainly increase
the cost involved in operations for accommodating the new Physiotherapy
7

centre. The increment cost of equipment, physiotherapist, Rheumatologists,
Nurses, X-ray films, Splints, Diclofenac Gel, Gloves, Electricity, Water,
General wastage Disposal, Administrative Officer, and Rent needs to be
conducted by the Health care centre (Head, 2015).
 What are the expected benefits of this proposal?
Factor Benefits
Patients The major benefit will be provided to the patients, as they will
get viable services from the Physiotherapy centre. The
patients were not able to get adequate therapy for their
problems due to the absence of Physiotherapy centre. The
problems related to unhealthy life style, obesity and stress is
mainly treated in the centre.
Facility The increment in the faciality provision of the Health centre
will immensely increase, as they will be able to provide
services regarding the problems of unhealthy life style, obesity
and stress. For completing the facility, the acquisition of
capital assets needs to be conducted by the Health Care
centre.
Clinicians Adequate benefits related to clinicians would be conducted, as
the doctors would entertain clients with different level of
diseases. This relevantly increases the efficiency of clinicians
treating in the Physiotherapy clients.
Other Other benefits can be provided from the Physiotherapy centre,
where the increment in patients visit can be conducted. The
increment in overall patients will increase revenue of the
8

health centre and significantly improve its market presence.
This will eventually motive the management to increase the
number of new department in the health centre and maximise
their profitability from operations, as the centre will be able to
attract more patients.

Process
 Action (insert as a flow chart as attachment 1)
Outline the action process, nominating the staff members responsible, actions
to be undertaken in relation to this proposal.
In order to determine the nominated members for this specific
proposal, attempts would be conducted for assuring that the qualification
reports of the doctors and the other available personnel associated with the
organisation is assessed from the objective viewpoint (Bao, 2018). Thus, the
members to be recruited for this proposal constitute of the doctors as well as
specialised practitioners in physiotherapy. Along with this, in order to ensure
the successful enforcement of the proposal, attempts would be made to
categorise the list initially to be spent and accordingly, the sources would be
fixed from which the arrangement of the requisite funds would be made.
In order to manage this plan effectively, it is necessary for the financial
advisor as well as the heads of the departments of the hospitals to formulate a
11

committee. The committee would comprise of skilled practitioners and doctors
so that the proposal could be guaranteed with success and constant
monitoring and follow-up is needed as well (Cleverley, 2017).
Resources
The additional resource requirement could be described as follows:
Registered nurses:
The need for registered nurse is obvious to increase with the passage
of time, since they would be accountable for the treatment process and
medication that the doctors would prescribe.
Water, electricity and disposal of waste:
The above-stated items are extremely important at the time a new
department in a hospital is initiated (Osborne & Reeves, 2015).
Dieticians:
The field specialists would be needed so that the quality care delivery
could be assured while providing uninterrupted services to the patients in the
hospital without worrying about any sort of delays.
Disinfecting and sanitising products:
These products would be used in high quantities due to the reason that
additional patients and staffs would be present or recruited in the hospital
(Scott et al., 2016).
Reporting of outcomes
In order to monitor the costs estimated to be spent for this specific
proposal, it is necessary to appoint a group of cost specialists. They would be
accountable for reporting all detailed information about outcomes, savings
