Virtua healthcare system has four branches of the hospital located throughout New Jersey. New Jersey is a very large state and often could not meet the needs of the community for ambulatory services and others. Hence, many of the patients would travel to Philadelphia for comprehension or ambulatory care. This new renovation will allow patients to remain in the comfort of their area. Southern New Jersey population has grown to over 40 percent over this decade alone. Immigrants have been finding jobs and establishing residency for years. Since 2000 Southern New Jersey foreign –born population is increasing according to the U.S. Census and America Survey data. The Press of Atlantic City analyzed census data on foreign-born residents for 69 municipalities in Atlantic, Cape May, Cumberland and southern Ocean counties. In 2000, there were 45,479 foreign-born people in the region. That number has since grown to 63,558, an increase of 18,059. As a percent of the population, the foreign-born has increased regionally from 7 percent to 9 percent, Press analysis shows (Lemongello, S. 2011).

As the CFO of Community Memorial Hospital, I have a major problem on my hands that could lead the hospital in a financial bid. Bill Jacobs, the Human Resource Director of Commercial Intertech (CI) which is the largest employer in the community, has signed a contract MegaPlan Health.

Since all of our employees and their families will be using MegaPlan Insurance and Community Memorial is not on their Preferred Provider Network (PPN), I need to figure out if we should work with or without
The surgical unit at Trinity would be complementary to the new orthopedic center in that we have surgical units that are equipped with the latest digital equipment and robotic surgery. As well, we have the facilities within our surgical unit to accommodate the increase in orthopedic cases. It is believed that the surgical facilities are why we are attracting groups of orthopedic practices that want to locate closer to Trinity and are applying for privileges to our hospital. We currently provide 20 operating rooms and have all basic support services necessary to compliment the orthopedic program, such as: basic x-ray, 2 CT scanners and one MRI scanner, nuclear medicine, ultrasound services, and we also have a mobile PET scanner, which is available 2 days per week. Our greatest strength is a competent and dedicated nursing staff which boasts a greater than 75% orthopedic nursing certification rate. We may not

The writer of the article suggests that the retail clinics have a bright future in this arena and quietly the primary care providers are saying there is a need for these clinics. The retail clinics are serving a twofold purpose, they are bringing in customers who don’t have a primary care provider and the retail clinics are referring these patients to physicians that are accepting new patients. In the midst of all this primary care physician is still reaping benefits due to this. The retail clinics in some cases are taking on the role of being the care coordinators in some instances.
