In this project, the Venice Family Clinic has been selected as the healthcare organization
with an aim to reach the final project capital budget proposal. This project has given the focus on
the finances and mission of the organization as well as highlighted the connection between the
organization and the healthcare trends. Moreover, the research has given the emphasis on the
opportunities and challenges that are present in the healthcare organization. At last, it has thrown
light on the potential implications for the mission of the organization.
• Department section
In the Venice Family Clinic healthcare organization, the researcher has selected the dental
care department that has a clinical function. In the dental care department, many primary care
activities can be conducted, which can also include managing hypertension, screening diabetics,
and many more (Gambhir, 2015). Venice Family Clinic has aimed to provide better dental care
to people, and it should be accessible for all. Presently, the dental care department is offering
services including cleaning, x-rays, exams, filling, and root canals. In this department, the
professional physicians do medical visits to screen children and their parents by following a
routine, referring the patients to partner agencies or dental team’s doe better care treatment, and
performing fluoride varnishes on children. Apart from these, this department is organizing a
teledentistry program in 16 schools across Los Angeles to do the dental screening
(Comprehensive health care. Venice Family Clinic, 2021), The annual report of the healthcare
organization shows that nearly 25,089 people have received the healthcare at the comprehensive
level. Among these, nearly 6,117 people came for dental visits.

While doing a close analysis of historical budgetary information, the researcher has
identified that this organization is the largest non-profit community health center. After giving
lots of effort and time to review the annual report of Venice Family Clinic 2021, the researcher
has gained some understanding by consolidating the financial statement (Venice Family Clinic,
2021). Here, it has been evident that the total financial expenses fall to $37,636,904. The
expenses for children program amounted to $6,524,430, for common ground amounted to
$1,842,196, for education and outreach amounted to $2,232, 926, for fundraising amounted to
$2,877,537, for management and general amounted to $7,048,222 and for in-kind amounted to
$7,304,138 (Venice Family Clinic, 2021). Here, it can be identified that the income of the
healthcare organization has decreased within years. Also, the minimal changes have been
evident in the expenses of the Venice Family Clinic, but it has shown a decrease during the same
time period.

• Healthcare trends
The present healthcare trends can impact the organization in a positive and negative way.
The Venice Family Clinics has the philosophy and mission to promote community development
and optimize the quality of life by facilitating leadership training, strengthening families,
individuals, and communities, and involving patients in program design, evaluation, and
delivery. In order to provide optimal care, it is essential for Venice Family Clinics to implement
new and advanced healthcare technology in the healthcare organization (Bigus et al., 2011). It is
important to adapt these technological advanced in the Venice Family Clinics as it is going on in
the healthcare trend and predicted to flourish in the upcoming years. Here, the Venice Family
Clinic’s board members should understand the value of the technology to enhance patient safety,

provide more direct care time, retain nurses, justify costs, and support the strategic plan. They
should understand the future of the healthcare sector and technology that can fulfill the needs of
the community and worth the cost. Recently, eConsult has been implemented by Venice Family
Clinics, enabling professional physicians to consult their patients remotely. Here, the patient can
access the appointment of the specialists and get the specialty care.
Cybersecurity can be another trend in the healthcare sector. The risk of security breaches has
been evident with all the computerizations and new telehealth innovations. However, it becomes
essential to protect sensitive health data and information by monitoring the vigilant, frequent
password changes and low infiltration risk. Regardless, cybersecurity is an expensive and
complicated operation, so the threat will be present, but engaging tech professionals can be
helpful in preventing data breaches and protecting the privacy of the patient (Bigus et al., 2011).
• Opportunities and challenges
The healthcare trends can bring both challenges and opportunities for the healthcare
organization. Cybersecurity has brought more opportunities for the healthcare organization with
new telehealth innovations and computerization, but it has also brought challenges for the
healthcare organization as cybersecurity consists of treats to the information of the healthcare
sector.
On the other hand, the healthcare trend like advanced healthcare technology in the healthcare
organization has bought more opportunities for the organization as the patient can get access to
consult with the physician without any restriction over the region. On the contrary, it has
brought some challenges for the healthcare organization as it requires regular maintenance and
high expense.

healthcare to uninsured, low-income, homeless individuals and families. Here, this healthcare
organization needs to focus on offering better healthcare services based on the increasing
demand for free healthcare systems.
