Goals and objectives statement for the project
Goals and objectives
The firm’s goals and objective is to assist individuals to learn and grow in our culture competence as a firm. It is dedicated to assist all individuals in the area. Jubilee organization is in the position of assisting individuals in Los Angeles because it has the potential and capability of being there for people living below the poverty line. This is possible as the firm has had some experience for the past five years hence is in the position of delivering a better medical care for all participants (Carlson, O’Neal-McElrath & The Alliance for Nonprofit Management, 2008).Thus, funder’s assistance will definitely generate a positive impact on the individual’s lifestyle and the firm as a whole.
The firm is determined to raise the lifestyle of all individuals within the shortest time possible. The firm is expected to assist about 70% of the individuals in the area and make their way of life better. The firm will be in the position of assisting pregnant women who are unable to pay for their bill and also children (Carlson, O’Neal-McElrath & The Alliance for Nonprofit Management, 2008).Therefore, the targeted population will definitely benefit from this insurance firm that is meant to assist all individuals living below the poverty level.
We want very much to respond appropriately and successfully assist the community. This is so as we believe that the targeted participants are among individuals of Los Angeles community. Furthermore, development of formal referral systems and feedback strategy in our area, other community organs and giving out referrals too will assist the management of HIV/AIDS classes (Carlson, O’Neal-McElrath & The Alliance for Nonprofit Management, 2008).The firm will have done a positive improvement to the individuals of Los Angeles in the field of health care.
Methods Section
The firm will hire a program officer and a full time nurse who will specialize in the management of HIV/AIDS and come up with an outreach committee that will be headed by two individuals and community representatives. The nurse and program officer will come with protocols for testing and tracking program participants for the first six months after finishing classes (Carlson, O’Neal-McElrath & The Alliance for Nonprofit Management, 2008).This will be done in classes that will have been developed by both the nurse and program officer.
They undertake this program through the use of modernized tools and materials that are liquistically and culturally appropriate for the community. This will enable the staff to develop a formal referral system and feedback strategy between the center and all appropriate community agencies positioned to give out referrals to our individuals of Los Angeles individuals affected with HIV/AIDS being managed well (Carlson, O’Neal-McElrath & The Alliance for Nonprofit Management, 2008).In the event of this, the firm is overwhelmed as the community will be covered with a medical insurance scheme.
Evaluation component
The firm’s formal referral system and feedback strategy will serve a dual purpose for all individuals of Los Angeles. This is possible as we will first track all referrals of Los Angeles, which services we are able to give out, and where the referrals are coming from. Thereafter, our feedback loop will enable us to be in the position of gathering information concerning member’s satisfaction with our services (Carlson, O’Neal-McElrath & The Alliance for Nonprofit Management, 2008). This assists us to review our running within every six months of attending to our patients.
Moreover, we strive to provide medical security for the Individuals living in Los Angeles and give them a better way of life style in the community (Carlson, O’Neal-McElrath & The Alliance for Nonprofit Management, 2008).The satisfaction reports will enable us to fine-tune our outreach and newly developed HIV/AIDS program worth offering to the community.
Concerning issues related to our HIV/AIDS self management class, we will put into practice tools in order to reach the set target by the program. We will go to the extent of using pretests and protests with every new client who participates in the class. We will test each individual for HIV/AIDS at the beginning of classes. This issue of monitoring will be done by the nurse who will use safer and modernized equipments to measure it individual. Issues related to medical care will be analyzed in the patient’s file every month for six months Angels (Carlson, O’Neal-McElrath & The Alliance for Nonprofit Management, 2008). This will enable the patient’s to successfully manage their HIV/AIDS status and therefore effectively manage their lives.
The firm will go to the extent of using the program to counter all the negative impacts that are degrading the rise of the people of Los Angeles. This is so as all parties will be educated on ways of avoiding negative issues that might make them caught at wrong places. This is so as better and cheaper medical apparatus will be availed to them hence reduce the rise of HIV/AIDS. This will be possible due to the presence of a modernized community that will put into practice what they are taught at the classes Angels (Carlson, O’Neal-McElrath & The Alliance for Nonprofit Management, 2008). This will be assesses weekly by the program officer in order to confirm if all is going in the direct direction.
The program officer will also use medical records and interviews to confirm if patients are benefiting from the program. This will lead the program add more strategies in event that the objectives are not being met. Thus, their success will be based on the patient’s participation and assistance. This is so as the programs objective is to deliver a better and safer atmosphere for all individuals of Los Angeles (Carlson, O’Neal-McElrath & The Alliance for Nonprofit Management, 2008). Particularly individuals who are unable to pay for their medical covers and this will be a positive impact for the firm.
