Instructions
One way an organization communicates with its constituents is by its accreditation. Your department head knows that you are in a graduate program and has asked you to assist the department head that works with accreditation and licensure in your facility. She has asked you to develop an initial plan to gain accreditation for a new facility that your organization is opening. Choose one accreditation that is appropriate for the facility. Write an introductory paragraph then follow it with the initial plan in table format and should include:

One type of accreditation needed for the facility and in 1-2 sentences, why it is needed for the facility
Estimate the amount of time it will take for the new facility to attain accreditation
What resources are needed
Estimate direct costs for accreditation
Estimate the financial impact on revenue if not earning accreditation
For example:

Type of Accreditation

Time Needed
Resources Required

Direct Costs for Accreditation Financial impact if Accreditation not Earned

Provide a paragraph under the table with conclusions and any potential limitation of this accreditation.

Please provide 3-4 references from scholarly journals and websites provided in the course.
