Discussion Post: Business Plan
Purpose
The purpose of this discussion is to explore the business plan. A business plan is a written document that describes in detail a proposed program, project, or service. The depth and complexity of the business plan will vary by the project. For projects with large capital investments, a thorough business plan is crucial. DNP-prepared nurses are often required to submit a business plan to gain approval for any proposed change in staffing, to obtain new equipment, or develop a new program. Our discussion this week allows us to look at a business plan.
