Managment Challenges in Emergency Services Qualitative Research Questions and Phenomena

BUDGETING FOR EMERGENCY ISSUES

Many emergency management budgets are small having the tendency to lean towards statistical significance with variations from one issue to another. For instance, small standard deviation of figures varies based on strength of the issue. These figures suggest many of the emergency management functions are performed within a given public safety unit. In this proposal, the safest option is for the emergency management offices to provide coordination functions in case of occurrence of any emergency issue. To manage emergency budgets, both the private and the public must do what is necessary to minimize losses incurred due to such occurrences (Cherry & Jacob, 2008). A budget-conscious management is always important in any organization because it helps in set an outline for costs and enables improvement on weak financial areas. Thusly, aiding organizations (in most cases) with achieving their objectives within the budget timeline. Profit generation becomes key for any organization and budget management is critical. Most companies suffer from the inability to provide and counteract emergence issues because they go unnoticed.

2.0 Background to the Problem

The overall budgeting process begins when the budget passes the legislative review, thus being officially adopted. The preliminary review is followed. The budget is then consolidated into the final budget that will handle any potential emergency issues. The total requests are then estimated into revenues. In most cases, after the budget has been reviewed and approved, the budget should be taken to the legislative body mainly for approval before allocation of the budget to the required emergency issues (Hayes, Ninemeier, & Miller, 2012).

Another main problem stated in budget allocation is planning. Planning of the budget starts with the selection of the task force, which is consists mainly of the representatives from all kinds of agencies. In addition, the task force must consider any related sources of revenue to overcome the problem of mismanaging the budget. Furthermore, an emergent issue like fire, has a large magnitude needing the facilitation of great effort to overcome. Thus, the department of firefighting must take part in resolving such matters. In cases where fire happens to destroy the owners building, the municipality that is entitled to manage it will have lost real estate tax that then must be budgeted. In addition, there will be several people affected with the same occurrence who need compensation. The budget planning for this case will be more strenuous in handling these kinds of emergency issues (Witham, 2010).

In budgeting, it is important for the financial team to come up with a method of brainstorming and give the best solutions for the organizations to bring it to its full potential of resolving emergency issues. Another example where there is a necessity for all emergency issues to stay within the budget is in the production and labor. Both the production and labor work hand in hand to ensure that all the costs incurred must be limited to plan for any occurrence of the emergency issue. In this case, labor plays an important role by ensuring that the budget remains predictable (In Rylee, 2011).

One example where labor functions in budgeting is showing the important variance in covering the agencies budgeted with errors that have the tendency to allow for any unplanned emergencies. The errors in the budget are in most cases used in examining the closely related reviews. All other mathematical errors in any budget that can be detrimental are always overlooked. However, simple mathematic error can also be problematic and sometimes hard to correct. Another budget variance that is mostly observed is the tendency of most budget organizers in not considering the occurrence of unexpected events. Here, they should always reserve capital which will cater for such events (Witham, 2010).

The main problem with the budgets is that most of them are not examined perfectly. Therefore, in comparing with the personal own finances, budgets tend to be anomalous. The idea of having a saving account is better for unexpected events. When there is no reservation for such events, the organizations will be more likely to apply for an unplanned loan to accommodate for the occurred event. In some occasions, competitive benchmarking can also be used to reduce the cases of unplanned budgets. The strategic benchmarking in this case will help companies in making comparison with those nationwide. This is important in planning for emergencies. Furthermore, all tight budgets are likely to reduce community's reliance on disasters....

The community resilience stems from activities e traditionally linked to emergency management. However, communities financial mean that all the educational attainment, infrastructure and social capital are involved in the budget. Therefore, several states have already taken part in cutting both the public and private budgets to control the misuse of funds. In addition, the average number of unemployed people continues undermining the individual resilience (Cherry & Jacob, 2008).
The emergence management budgets are always small but are strategically important and vary from one region to another. All the small significant variation for any mentioned region indicates that there is real variation from one region to another (Tracy & Barrow, 2011). The above figures indicate that the emergency management functions by providing all the solutions to the problems.

3.0 Literature Review

The literature review provides an overview over the current literature on the topic of emergency issues with focus on budgeting, frameworks and principles utilized in maximizing the budget on emergency issues. As a core unit in disaster management, all the emergency departments tend to influence the public concerning the perception and community inclination in budgeting for emergency issues. Additionally, they provide all the services that are required in times of calamities. The emergency department provides vital services to all people who are present with critical urgent conditions. The emergency departments are in most cases not seen in copying all the changes that occur during the emergency times.

In responding to such matters, they normally ensure that all the services they offer are sufficient. Traditionally, the emergency department was mandated to offer charitable services but currently they move from one place to another with the aim of providing services to all affected people (Bumgarner, 2008).

For instance, if an emergency happens, people with less serious conditions, people with less injuries require less attention. The methods used in identifying the peer-reviewed literature were first identified using current knowledge, which is based on all optimal staffing in emergency departments. In this case, the following approaches can be utilized:

• A clear search for the emergency databases that should be conducted in the affected area.

• The key academic reviews which relates well to the emergency department.

• Field inquiries budget for the area conducted

• In redefining the emergency department, the staff need to meet all demands to any changing services (Bumgarner, 2008).

4.0 Methodology

The methodology used for analysis was based on EPPI Centre methodology, which aims to review systematically all emergency programs. The budget experts were informed about the importance of conducting this kind of review in a wide range of research. The places targeted included hospitals, big business centers and both the governmental and nongovernmental institution. The research strategy agreed by all the research team that constituted a pilot search was important in managing the targeted budget. The final search list was also used in reviewing the cash, consumer directed care and the direct payment. All the terms were adopted and later tabulated per the search functions and syntax of each database (Ketchen & Bergh, 2006).

Screening of identified studies was performed through the use of title, abstract and full text. The questionnaire was as a second form of methodology of budgeting for emergency issues. The quality of the studies was also appraised with the aim of assessing the extent at which the budget for conducting an emergency should be conducted. The tools that were used included a number of all the overall risk that was unbiased. In addition, there also the overall risk of bias that was assigned to each kind of study to establish the average domain scores (Ketchen & Bergh, 2006).

Another methodology that was included in the study was continuous focus. The project proposal ran on the frequent budget management, reinforcing all the possible ways of ensuring the budget was suitable to all people. This was important because frequent oversight ensured the budget would remain controlled and stable. In addition, the proposal suggests that a 10% budget is needed to overrun because it is easier than 50% overrun which can cause more loss in balancing such a budget. There…
