This template is designed to give a framework around which a local case can be made for the introduction of arterial blood gas testing within a community setting.

The template is designed to create a logical argument for the service based on current situations and problems, and the benefits (clinical and financial) of a service development. The template is broken down into a series of headings each of which is followed by a description (in italics) of the purpose of that section. These words should be removed from the final document.

 

Each section will then include either generic text, which can be modified according to local situations. Or, more commonly, by some suggestions for data that would support the business case. These suggestions are in red and will require local research. To download a copy of the template please click on the link below:
