As local healthcare funding moves from traditional grant models to fee-for-service, HIV organizations need to adapt their fiscal systems. Clinical, program, and fiscal managers are invited to an interactive workshop to build on the fiscal and financial management core skills discussed in the Part I and explore core budgeting strategies for fee for service.
This in-person training will explore key budget building skills and how budgets are important to financial health and sustainability. Participants will also discuss the transition from Grant-Based funding to Unit Cost-Based funding and how a “Unit of Service” funding model works. This training will also explore best practices to integrate this funding methodology into organizational fiscal and financial management systems and practices. Participants will conclude the training session with mini-case study examples that will help you vision unit cost applications and we will discuss advantages and challenges related to unit costs. Objectives include:
Throughout the training, participants will explore how unit costs work and how to perform unit cost analysis and its impact on budgets and planning and financial resources. Application advantages and challenges will be presented, and mini-case study examples will be used to demonstrate how unit costs are applied.

Learning Objectives:
Throughout the training participants interpreted and analyzed actual budgets and left with sample projection-based dashboards to adapt and use within their agencies. Take-away practice sheets were provided to assist with improving financial accountability and transparency.
