Assignment
Hi all, doing my final assignment for year 3, sem 1.
In this assignment, we are to identify and address a challenge within current paramedicine practice, then develop a business proposal to submit to state governing bodies in order to improve service delivery.
I’d like to include some valuable opinions from you!
I mulled my brain for fancy ideas on what challenges to choose (as I know there are many) before moving back to the most simple idea of all, hiring more personnel/crews (for metropolitan regions mostly)!
I already have a few reasons for choosing this (listed in edit below)
What I’d like to include in my proposal is direct quotes and opinions from you guys like a case study (no pressure). What do you think would be the pro’s and con’s to this type of proposal (feel free to agree or build on the things that I have already said)
Thanks in advance all!
Note: I’ll delete this post once I’ve received some good responses/opinions I can include.
Edit: thank you for your responses so far!
I’ll add some context to my argument because it does seem like a hollow idea without it.
My reasons for my idea so far include:
- Reduce workload on existing crews so 12 hours doesn’t need to actually be packed with 12 hours back to back.
- Reduce response times for the public
- Allow current employees more flexibility within their life (if they’d like to worked reduced hours or days, go part time, take leave at shorter notice etc)
- Allow paramedics time and space to branch off into extended scopes/streams (like mental health response, falls response etc)
- Actually give the service capacity to develop new streams (like community paramedicine, prescription dispensary services, community engagement, community vaccination and minor treatment pop ups for vulnerable communities, international aid groups, national service exchange programs etc, just to name a few ideas).
