The purpose of the Supervised Opioid Usage Support Expeditionary Team equipped with a Recreational Vehicle (RV) type vehicle is to provide a legally sanctioned place where opioid users may safely inject in a manner that will reduce harm associated with opioid drug usage.

Included:

· Decrease overdose

· Decreased healthcare costs

· Decreased incidences of HIV and Hepatitis

· Increase referral to detox facilities

· Improved overall health

· Decrease public exposure to illicit drug use

Project Scope Statement

With highly trained personal, healthcare equipment and medication Supervised Opioid Usage Support Expeditionary Team will provide a safe environment where people whom use of illicit opioids can inject. Within the vehicle will be the availability of 3-4 clean rooms, clean needles, under the direct supervision of trained healthcare professionals. These professionals are trained to work in this unique environment, with this unique population and capable of recognizing and intervening when a potential deadly overdose occurs. The operation schedule will be a 24/7 service. There will be 2 healthcare professionals trained to manage this unique population of opioid users on staff at all times. There will be access to service referrals including detox facilities, social services and primary care. This facility is not designed to provide service outside the scope of the project.

Project objectives and success criteria

[This section will be used to identify project objectives that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant to the project, and time-bound. Objectives should relate to your group project; not the organizational goals and objectives.]

· [Project objective that is unique to your group project.]

· [Project objective that is unique to your group project.]

· [Project objective that is unique to your group project.]

Medicicom International (Non-Profit) will ensure the supervised injection facility is in compliance with all health and city codes throughout the entire lifespan of the project. Specifically, the facility will be in compliance with the all following codes (Consulting-Specifying Engineer, 2014) and Baltimore City Department of Housing and Community (BDHCD, 2019):

· ASHRAE 90.1

· FGI Guidelines for Design and Construction of Hospitals and Outpatient Facilities

· IMC

· ASHRAE 62.1

· ASHRAE HVAC Design Manual for Hospitals and Clinics

· Facility Guidelines Institute (FGI)

· International Code Council (ICC) – International Building Code

· NFPA 99

Additionally, Medicicom International (Non-Profit) is dedicated to meeting the following internal requirements:

· The project must stay within the City of Baltimore’s designated budget

· Materials chosen must be medical grade or suitable for medical setting

· All materials will be sourced and secured at the best price within reason

· All tasks must be completed within the designated timeline

[Describe what risks might be identified this early in the project – at a high-level. Your group will conduct a detailed project risk management plan later in the course and integrate the risk management plan into your project report. For this charter, list only three to five high-level risks at this time.]

· The Project’s

· Locations: Identifying the locations of the project, to include the neighborhood and surrounding areas will enable the development of a schedule during operations, and it will alert the residents of the area of the future services available to them.

· Staff: Identifying, hiring, and training the right staff will ensure the project is accomplished. With a well-built team, anything can be accomplished. Selecting the team will enable the team to schedule training, re-certifications, and allow for the workers to plan ahead for their personal schedules in order to ensure they take care of themselves and their families.

· Equipment: Identification of equipment, acquisitions and procurement of items is very important. Without the right tools, the staff will not be enabled to conduct their job properly. Lastly, a life-cycle management program will be established for major items once received. In example, how often will tires have to be changed on the recreational vehicles?

· The Day Project Operation Begins: The first day of operation will be the main test for the team, the leadership, and all parties involved. With the feedback received and problems encountered, the team will develop and improve on their skills. Therefore, the first day of opening will have major visibility by Champions supporting the event, local citizens, it will garnish the attention of the media, and may receive VIP visits. Therefore, some planning will have to go into the first day this project opens its doors officially.

· Results: What statistics have decreased during the following timelines:

· 90 days

· 180 days

· 1st year

In example, will Opioid fatalities decrease from 14.8 to 10 within 30 days? Will more services need to be provided such as domestic violence services? These adjustments increases or decreases will only be discussed and adjusted via hard number data received after the results have been received on a continuous basis.

[Describe the project’s budget at a high level. This is only a summary at this point; your group will elaborate on the project budget by phase/by resources in upcoming weeks.]

[Describe the criteria for project approval here . What constitutes project success, who decides the project is successful, and who signs off on the project?]

[In this section your team will describe the authority level for this project – performing organization and customer/client.]

Erick and Kortni will serve as the project Managers.

[Identify your project sponsor and/or customer/client and outline the authority level for this person. Your team should have one member serve as the customer for this project.]
