The mission statement reads, “Sharing the love of Christ by serving those in need through health care”. When asked about Siloam’s mission statement and what it represents, Dr. Wills said, “This mission statement summarizes well what Siloam is all about. God’s love welcomes. It listens. It cares.

Richard Veller, the new CFO for Union Medical Center, began to change the operations of their management. Richard Veller looked to change UMC to an industrial system, which meant that the hospital would view cases as products.

In order to allocate costs appropriately, UMC was required to organize their cases into Diagnosis Related Groups to create a functional management control system. These changes brought certain internal issues into the spotlight. If solutions are not found, the hospital will not be able to implement their plans.

MMCC, a Medicaid managed care organization, is located in the low-income community of Baltimore City. It is positioned across from a major medical center that does not provide its services. MMCC seeks to reduce their medical loss ratio (MLRs). As part of their strategy, they enroll poor people of the community through incentives, utilize a distant medical center to provide their services, and cut back on administrative requirements. To get communities members to enroll, they offer turkeys to enrollees during holiday times. They fail to inform members that they must use the medical center across the city and not the one directly across from their location. Once a member of MMCC, the patients experience poor quality care. Operators are limited and cannot keep up with calls to make appointments. Health care delivery site’s parking lot has limited parking spaces. The waiting room has limited seating. The actions of MMCC are legally and ethically questionable.

This would leave a shortfall in revenue.
