A planning team is designing a $20 million renovation and expansion of a patient service. Focus groups and surveys of patient needs will cost nearly $200,000. The governing board has authorized exploration but has explicitly stated that it will make a final decision based on further analysis. How will you justify the $200,000 investment for inclusion in the upcoming budget?
Total funds to be used for the renovation and expansion of a patient service is $20million .
Amount for focus groups and survey of patient needs is $200000.
According to my perspective ,I will invest the amout because once the government body will give the permission for exploration ,it will make decision based on further analysis and based on the data and analysis done by that time will be sufficient to impress the government by the good job at less time . Hence ,they will agree for further assessment .
