In addition to delivering health care of the highest quality, another main goal of a health care organization is to remain profitable and viable through effective financial management. In an effort to do so, members of administration along with the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) work diligently in attempting to maintain and sustain a successful health care organization by monitoring the flow of cash (in and out) in accordance to GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles), while ensuring the needs and wants of the consumers are met. With this being the case, health care accounting skills are equally important in

When figured, 48% of revenue was spent on salaries and benefits in 2009 compared to 51% in 2008. The other significant change in depreciation of expenses resulted in a 69% increase from 2008 and 2009. Last but not least, although the net income is still in the negative, improvement is obvious and the facility is looking to recover in 2010. In review of the balance sheet, appears a significant difference in liabilities and equity. Shown is a drastic increase (248%) in long term debt. The possible explanation for this change may have been the result of the hospital acquiring a loan for a new treatment center on campus (property, plant and equipment). With this being the case, explains the increase in inventories that are up 118% from 2008 to 2009. Again, financial statements are effective tools in helping organizations determine their financial positions in the health care industry. The use of balance statements help determine the amount of assets, liabilities, and equity over long term, while statements of revenue and expenses provides an overview of profits minus expenses short term. In the case of Patton Fuller Community Hospital, per the admission of the CEO, the facility suffered a financial loss; however, with patient net revenue up, they expect future financial statements to show a continued profitable
The Total Current Assets for Competition Bikes is 36.8% in year 8 up from 31.5%, showing that the company has enough funds to settle current debt. Specifically Works in Process Inventory and Raw Materials Inventory remains unchanged from year 7 to 8, this shows that even with a decrease in sales the company is slow moving and has not adjusted inventory to sales. The company has accrued more debt from year 7 to year 8 seeing an increase of Total Current Liabilities moving from 5.4% to 7.0%.
In the health care world finances play a significant role in the quality of care rendered to the consumer. There is no health care facility that is the same when it comes to their financial management because it is needed both internally and externally to ensure that it runs properly. Today’s health care field consist of either not-for-profit organizations, for-profit organizations and governmental, (Gapenski, 2008).
Commutronics had not accumulated enough profits and had no sufficient capital reserves. The company’s registered capital was therefore very low. The withholding tax rate of
Proper, precise, and ethically sound financial management and reporting is required of all healthcare organizations. According to Wisconsin Government (1994), “agencies are required to have an effective financial management system as a condition of receiving federal funds. Federal and state rules and regulations establish several criteria that the financial systems of agencies receiving funds must meet” (Basic Elements of an Effective Financial Management System, para. 1).
Increasing pressures of cutting costs and improving the quality of care in health care services influences the management of the health care organization to implement the generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) within their daily routines. Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) are a set of uniform accounting guidelines health care organizations follow to determine the financial position of an organization. According to Finkler, Kovner, and Jones (2007) the most common and important GAAP are as follows: (a) Entity concept, (b) Going-concern concept, (c) Matching principle and cash versus
Reviewing the textbook table 12-1 it presents the balance sheet for the Community Hospital (CH) that is in the subject of the analysis. The information only provide for 2 years statement. Information on the accountants are provided are comparative information in this case (CH),the financial statements do present the current fiscal year that’s ending December 31, 2013, and for the previous fiscal year, that ended December 31, 2012. When reviewing the fiscal reports it contain the current year and the previous year for
Financial Management is one important part of health care financial planning. Many financial decisions are made on a day to day basis from all the accounting records and all the business transactions which occur. Some are the decisions made according to the organizations fiscal objectives although some are made on generally accepted accounting principles). So the question I would ask is this “How good is the financial management of our health care organizations and do they hold a good financial reporting records”?
The next concern is the Year 8 Ending Accounts Receivable in the amount of $609,960 which is the total amount received from Year 8 Sales projections. Once again the Sales projected and the Accounts Receivable shows a wide margin of difference. The Total Budgeted Revenues was $5,247,450 and the Accounts Receivable was $629,694. This equates to only 12% of the Actual Sales being collected. The Accounts Receivables will need a serious evaluation as to why the collections are this low. It is important for this business to increase the Aging Accounts owed to the organization in order to increase the accounts receivable. Penalties may need to be sent to the vendors for late payments and the finance staff will need to be held accountable for poor internal control practices. Accurate Net Sales Projections will need to be adjusted for this change in the overall market decline.
In the year of 2012 assets had increased by $7,093,000, from the $1,669,444,000 in 2011, primarily due to increases in net patient’s accounts receivable of $22,866,000, prepaid expenses of $3,709,000. According to the Palomar Health Consolidated Financial Statements (2013) capital assets increased as well, by $214,760,000, this was due to purchase related projects. Palomar Health showed a decrease of noncurrent assets in the year 2012 by $176,887,000. Current liabilities decreased by $3,047,000, primarily due to a decrease in accounts payable of $12,820,000. Long-term liabilities increased by $28,446,000, primarily because of the increase in the interest rate adjustment to market value of $20,912,000, G.O. Bonds of $14,622,000, and the long-term portion of workers’ compensation of
With slow sales, the company had to keep some expenses flat, such as administrative salaries, web creation / maintenance and executive compensations. This is a weakness and as stated before, the company will need to increase sales to increase profits to raise its strength. On the balance sheet for years 7 and 8, the current assets increased in accounts receivables. This is probably due to slow pay and/or unpaid accounts receivables. The change between years 7 and 8 reported -15% with a decrease change of $107,640. Total assets change was -0.2% and this position reflects a financial weakness for the company. Cash and cash equivalents can be used to satisfy during this period, although there was a change of 348.2%, this increase could have been used for operating expenses. This is too much cash sitting idle and not working for the company. Competition Bikes can assess where to put this cash to work for the company.

The following pages present a brief analysis of sample data from one healthcare organization. Accompanying this written report are spreadsheets of the company's financial data its balance sheet and its statement of revenue and expenses that provide not only the figures from the audited reports of the hospital examined, but also show the change from year to year on each item as both a dollar amount and a percentage. Changes of more than five percent are considered worthy of discussion, and as these documents show much
The managing partner for Westwood One Investment Managers Inc. gave a public seminar in which she discussed a number of issues, including investment risk analysis. In that seminar, she reminded people that the coefficient of variation can often be used as a measure of risk of an investment. To demonstrate her point of view, she used two hypothetical stocks as examples. She let x equal the change in assets for a $1,000.00 investment in stock1 and y reflect the change in assets for a $1,000.00 investment in stock2. She showed the seminar participants the following probability distributions:
