Implementation and Costs

This proposal is intended as a concept document. Should you be interested in pursuing our vision, we will agree the implementation date and exact composition of the programme in close consultation with you. Our past track record of teamwork with Dr Coetzer is evidence of our ability to successfully deliver effective, focussed healthcare communications programmes.

We envisage an extremely simple, easy-to-use basic asthma pack consisting of a copy of The Sims, plus a customised handbook. The game CD will contain the front-end programming to maintain passwords, peak flow charts and e-mail communications to nurses. Various add-ons may be desirable, subject to your views on affordability. These could include features such as an asthma whistle, school locker materials, and an interactive website. These would intertwine with the core communications tool, which would remain the computer game.

The approximate cost of the spine of the programme:

Concept and implementation: $245,000.00. Includes full project management function.

The Sims: retails at $39.95. Major cost savings from bulk purchasing discounts will be directly and entirely passed on to you.

Asthma handbook: $8,800.00 to positives stage. Includes design, illustrations and copy. This is to positives stage; should you wish us to handle printing we estimate an approximate cost of $15,000.00 per 10,000, plus shipping. All prices will be precisely quoted and your written approval obtained before any costs are incurred by you.
