The second problem: insurers are beginning to hold healthcare facilities financially responsible for never events (Ozan-Rafferty). As a result, physicians and hospitals have to pay for the care they provided, in addition to the errors that they encountered. If the insurers do this, it would bring the downfall of the entire hospital because there would be so much expenses that the healthcare facilities have to pay that it may not be able to pay for most of the debts that they have in the facilities.

Consequently, it become a financial problem where physician sees no improvement in their revenue/profit, and the cost of treatments continue to rise as reimbursement challenges the physician’s charges. There is always a cost to a better health care and coverage, and vast of it comes from taxation. Hospital and physicians function on funding to keep the door open and operating, and majority of the funding are from taxation. For

The case focuses on the charity program of Sunrise Hospital. The hospital recognizes charity healthcare in the form of bad debts and other services that are offered for free. The process has been faced with some issues, and these issues have halted the organization role of delivering charitable care to low-income people. However, this paper is going to analyze the case.

Affordability should be applied to the hospital setting. There have been many patients that are in the hospital on an extended stay and they are not able to afford such things like a television in their room or, maybe the patient does not have family and they are on a fixed income. The hospital should have a policy in place that allows the hospital to go into a fund that is set up for patients that are in need. Hospitals should apply policies within their organizations that benefit the community and staff. A policy should be in place to ensure

One of the major problems facing our country today is the healthcare crisis. The inequality in our current healthcare system has created a huge gap in the difference between the level and the quality of healthcare that different people receive. Having an improved and reliable health care system available for everyone should be a priority that the government must make available. There are countries whose health care system meets the needs of the patients while there are countries whose health care systems need a great amount of overhaul for them to be able to attend to their patients. In this essay I will discuss the healthcare crisis and the differences in many countries

One in particular states, “The hospital is professionally and ethically responsible for providing care, treatment, and services within its capability and law and regulations (Showalter,2013).” Patients may not always have the funds to be treated when their insurance coverage is not available. It would be up to the facility to decide how they are going to continue care in these situations. They have policies on the destruction of medical records. Another policy includes they must comply with the standards of emergency care. Also, that patients have access to interpreter services to include the most common languages used in the healthcare facility. These standards of care are updated all of the time by healthcare experts, nurses, staff, to ensure the most updated

When faced with the reality of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) becoming law and taking effect, Jim began to implement new rules and guidelines. Although impravision a strategic plan the institution is expected to follow as supplies and resources would soon be in critical demand. As CEO, he understood what was expected of the health care system, focusing mainly on the organizational needs that will help with the expanding or the growing populationu8, meeting the increased demand for the future. Via industrialized existing programs and building clinics that will accommodate the expected significant impact of the newly insured. “Eliminating ED crowding will take the collective involvement of healthcare workers, business leaders, politicians, the press, and the public” (Derlet & Richards, 2008). After much consideration, and a comprehensive evaluation of the documents for the new Affordable Care Act, Jim James, CEO thought about the upcoming opportunities using a persuasive approach to transform the hospital. Since he stated that his most pressing desire is to find ways to connect the recipients in a way that will model changes in existing programs. Admittinly, we have a medical (that is, sick) care system- a system that waits until we become ill before it kicks into action instead of a healthcare system focused on helping us stay healthy (Schimpff, 2012). The justification, seeing the possibilities that crucial in dealing with changes in the upcoming health care system using a

From 1991 going forward, the health care environment again experienced fundamental changes as a result of the deregulation of hospitals which according to Ingols and Brem (as cited in Swayne, Duncan, and Ginter, 2006) was occurring for the first time in a decade. According to the authors, the impact of the move was immediate. Following the deregulation, the financial viability of most hospitals was

The intention of this research paper is to further understand the financial statement of four distinct hospitals located in the San Diego, California County. An analysis of the financial report for Sharp HealthCare, Scripps Health, Tri-City HealthCare, and Palomar Health will be briefly discussed individually on each important financial outcome’s Such as: assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, hospital debt, and investments. To analyze further, a break down between the hospitals assets, liabilities, and revenue will be compared in the paper.

Community: Community would not agree with the sale of the hospital because once it was sold, consumers will be hurt. Community wants as many kinds of health service exist as possible. But if the hospital was sold, some healthcare would be cancelled due to no profit. Right now, the hospital is the only local provider of the mental healthcare. If such service was cut off, consumer in this area would have no access to get the mental healthcare. The consequence could be quite serious. Moreover, without the hospital, there would be only one local hospital left. It could monopolize the whole health service in this area. It could raise the service price as it wants. Consumers, especially poor people would suffer a lot in such cases. Therefore, community will provide all reasons to disagree with this proposal.

The financial statement analysis of Doctors Hospital raises hopes and concerns regarding the financial performance and financial situation of the hospital. A rise in net assets and drop in liabilities will support the financial base of the hospital. Profits from short-term I nvestments should maintain this base, and improve the total assets. There is a concern in regards to cash flow and net income. There is a large reduction in cash flow of $2,222,000, which means there might be a shortage in cash flow to continue the project or purchase capital equipment. The organization should have to find solutions like to borrow from banks, spreading payments in future, etc. to manage the shortage of cash flow (Finkler et al., 2013). Another area

The problem at Memorial Hospital is the focus on costs instead of health care. When a health care provider does not take the primary business as the core value of the operation and make strategic and tactical decisions based primary on costs, it decreases the consumers’ (patients) satisfaction in long run. As consumers reduce or stop purchasing goods and services from the hospital, hospital may make more cost oriented decisions and falls into a negative cycle. Eventually the hospital may face the fate of loosing business to competitors and the possibility of closing the door.

In April of 2000, the Downtown Health Clinic (DHC), which is run and overseen by Perpetual Mercy Hospital (PHC), found out some troubling news and was very concerned about it. Perpetual Mercy Hospital was concerned about the possibility of a establishing a similar clinic five blocks north of their facility. The main concerned are that the new and upcoming clinic may take away DHC’s current patients and that such a similar clinic so close could put a damper the DHC’s profitability and financial

The unhealthy hospital case is about a hospital named Blake Memorial that has been in a very bad shape, lacks in providing the best quality of care, is in debt, and financially imbalanced. It is important for a healthcare set up to maintain balance in the financial system so the stakeholders and customers who are the patients their interests are met. If the hospital is lacking in providing the best quality of care for its community and the community is in high needs of the care than the CEO’s of the hospitals need to make a change. The patients (customers) look for getting the best services and better results from a hospital and the stakeholder’s looks for better profitable gain from their business by running the hospitals. In this case
