Diabetes Screening
The biggest funding issue lies within our ability to secure financing from the appropriate government agencies, via grants, for the diabetes screening. The target community for the screening is fairly large, and while the cost of screening a single individual is actually low, to initiate such a program requires a substantial amount of resources. These types of projects are financed through government branches, and they receive their funding from appropriations at the federal and state levels. Because of this, budgets for the project need to be tabled and approved well in advance of start time, and then these budgets will be rolled into larger agency budgets, which ultimately must receive government approval.
As one can imagine, there is a tremendous amount of politicking that goes on with such appropriation requests. Those within government, and within these agencies, typically view appropriations are something of a fixed pie, and as such there is competition for such requests. That the project will prove useful, is cost effective, and will benefit society is not necessarily going to be enough to secure the needed funding.
The funding issue is most certainly one for the short-term, wherein the project cannot get off the ground...
Thankfully, it is expected that once initial financing is approved, the project will be renewed for its duration. Appropriations are typically built onto those from previous years, so once the short-term problem is addressed, then the long-term problem should also be taken care of.
The ability to acquire funding will affect all stakeholders. The people behind this project in the medical community will rely on funding for the project in order to proceed. The communities affected by the project will not receive the diabetes screening that we feel that they need, meaning that for those stakeholders there is the risk that they will have worse morbidity and mortality rates if we are unable to secure the needed funding for the project. If only partial funding is secured, then the project might be scaled back, affecting some of the stakeholders. Thus, there are significant impacts associated with not being able to secure funding for the diabetes screening project.
Part II. In order to ensure that the funding is acquired to start this project, we must examine the possibility of additional funding sources. The most common type of funding is government funding, but there are other common sources as…

Community Diagnosis: Pearland, Texas Community Diagnosis The community of Pearland is an ethnically-diverse, growing community located adjacent to the thriving metropolis of Houston, Texas (PEDC, n.d.). The population for the community was estimated to be 93,305 in 2011, up by 2.25% from the previous year (Census, 2013a). By comparison, the U.S. population grew by just 1.67%. There are slightly more females than males (51.4 vs. 48.6%) in Pearland and the median age

Some hospitals create a "contingency" budget, which can be offset by a few of these patients. The percentage of non-paying patients can vary a good deal, particularly in a city- or county-owned hospital. This number may not vary, and typically in a budget the hospital CEO and/or CFO negotiates with the governmental bodies for regular subsidies to cover. The billing cycles can be difficult to predict, particularly for Medicare and Medicaid
C. Evaluation question(s) and aims. The primary question that will be addressed is to identify whether HCBS program is able to provide service to the target population. The evaluation questions will also be directed to the cost effectiveness of the program. The following evaluation questions are identified: 1. Is the program meet the budget requirements of the 1915 (b)? 2. Has the program generates cost saving? 3. Has the program has been able to
Offered under the same roof are "consultative, diagnostic, and treatment services" which are stated to be provided "by board-certified practitioners in the fields of pulmonary medicine, otolarngology, family medicine and more." (2006) Smith reports that the laboratories experiencing the most dramatic growth are two which are located the "farthest from the Hillsboro flagship" as they are located in two areas that were "formerly underserved."
