Beyond the Basics
President -- Karol Pokley, CAVS |
Have you thought about expanding who receives the volunteer reports that you work so hard to put together? Consider sending your reports to those that have an interest in what you do: Administration, Nursing, Marketing, etc. And don't forget to share with your volunteers too!
An ideal reporting structure worth trying is called a "dashboard" report. This report categorizes and summarizes your programs at a quick glance, comparing fiscal years and identifying the percent of change. This seems ideal for a quick overview of the facts.
Have you taken time to analyze the programs you offer? A key tool you may find helpful is a core identity chart. This chart identifies patient focused versus non-patient focused services and ranks them according to a high/low maintenance factor. Analyzing programs in this way can help identify those that need to "go by the wayside" and those to be developed. Implementing a dashboard report and a core identity chart may just take you to the "next level" as a volunteer manager |
