Developing a Community Health Center Capital Project Plan and Budget – Part One
This session, the first of a two-part webinar series, will take a broad look at capital project planning activities that allow you to accurately determine the cost of a project so your health center knows how much funding you need to secure. We will discuss how to estimate service area demand, workforce needs, and space requirements so you can build a realistic budget. We will also describe how to calculate your debt capacity and measure financial feasibility.
Prepare Now, Save Later - New Markets Tax Credits Can Save Millions on Your Future Capital Project
This timely webinar will help you determine if NMTC financing could be a good fit for your capital project and the steps needed to prepare to capitalize on this opportunity when the time comes to apply for funding. We will provide a general overview of the NMTC program, the timing of upcoming funding rounds, the process of completing a NMTC transaction and the myriad benefits of doing so. We’ll also review other sources of financing that can be leveraged along with NMTCs.
Optimizing Team Resources: Patient/Provider Scheduling and Panel Size
Health centers continue to devote significant resources to the transition to a team-based model of primary care delivery. This session goes “back to the basics” to take a fresh look at techniques designed to expand capacity, utilizing existing resources within a sustainable structure. From defining target outcomes to simplifying scheduling templates to aligning panel size, the participant will learn a replicable process for moving forward with each of their primary care teams through what is often a contentious and divisive operational imperative.
Cost Allocation: Getting the Basics Right
To assist health center finance and accounting staff in preparing for the transition from fee-for-service to value-based care, The Delta Center for a Thriving Safety Net is hosting a webinar training series, Understanding Your Costs in an Evolving Payment Environment, facilitated by Capital Link. This first webinar will provide a detailed review of the methodology for allocating costs in a fee-for-service accounting environment (direct, indirect, and overhead), and an introduction to how “costing” will differ in a value-based system.
