    You have worked for ABC Hospital for several years. Recently, you were promoted to be the Director of Community Care and Outreach. In this role, you are responsible for increasing the hospital’s presence in the community, reaching new patients, and ensuring patients receive effective and coordinated care. 
    You are aware of ABC Hospital’s current issue with charity care: there is no defined policy for who can write off an account, and no defined standards for what qualifies a patient to receive charity care. The billing department has reported multiple complaints due to the lack of a policy, and frustrations from both providers and patients. Your presentation will address how to appropriately utilize the charity care resource of financing.

  • “Evolution of Hospital Care: A Comparative Analysis from the 18th Century to Today” The Evolution of Hospital Care: A Comparative Analysis of Key Changes from the 1800s to Today

    Izabella is a health care historian. She has been hired by the Philadelphia Medical Society to research and develop a storyboard of hospital care quality from the first hospital to today’s hospitals. The storyboard will cover the evolution of the hospital environment, staff education, level of care, and how hospital services were paid for.
    Izabella’s storyboard begins with the fact that hospitals had humble beginnings in the United States. The first hospital in America was founded in Philadelphia in 1751! Its mission was “to care for the sick-poor and insane who were wandering the streets” of Philadelphia (Penn Medicine, n.d., para. 1). Having a historical perspective on health care changes and trends is critical to understanding how to improve health care today and in the future. What kind of medical care might a patient have received in the first 18th-century hospital?
    As a health care administrator, you will often do research on a topic to provide background information for decision making, committee work, or creating policies. It is often best practice to use a comparison table to lay out and visualize your research notations.

  • Title: Examining Market Demand and Income Projection for a New or Revised Product/Service at East Chestnut Regional Health System Title: Marketing Plan Considerations for ECRHS Summary of Market Size Calculation: Based on our analysis, the estimated market size for ECRHS is approximately $2 billion. This calculation was determined by considering the number of potential customers in the

    Exam Conten
    Market demand is a central concept in health care economics. In addition, calculation of projected income is required to determine the impact of organization finances on the marketing plan. This week you will prepare a pro forma income statement for the new or revised existing product or service you recommended in your Marketing Mix Strategy in Week 5 for East Chestnut Regional Health System. 
    Review the Case Study document.
    Pro Forma Income Statement for East Chestnut Regional Health: 
    Complete the following prior to preparing the pro forma income statement and budget. You will need the following information in order to prepare it. 
    Part I: Market size calculation: 
    Determine the size of the market for the ECRHS product or service you are recommending. Assume East Chestnut Regional Health is located in the market in which you live or work. 
    Visit the University Library Consumer Demographics page. 
    From this page, visit the United States Census Bureau sites linked under the heading Demographic Data. A rough estimate of need for health care products or services can be made based on the population demographics, using age, gender, and in some cases, race. On these sites, you can gain information on the total U.S. market for health care, as well as the number of U.S. consumers who fit your target market segmentation. 
    Determine the local market for the product or service you recommend for East Chestnut Regional Health. 
    Next, multiply the percentage of people likely to purchase your recommended ECRHS product or service by the estimate of market share you believe ECRHS can achieve for the product or service. For example, if there are 6,000 women who might be interested in ECRHS obstetrical services, and ECRHS has a potential 40% market share, this results in 2,400 patients. 
    Prepare a 150- to 300-word summary of your market determination process. 
    Part II: Breakeven Analysis: 
    A breakeven analysis determines the number of products or amount of services that must be sold to consumers for the organization to break even or cover the costs of production or provision of the product or service. 
    You will prepare a breakeven analysis for the Case Study client, East Chestnut Regional Health. 
    Use the Breakeven Analysis Worksheet to prepare your analysis. 
    Prepare a 150- to 300-word summary of your breakeven analysis that includes the following: 
    The fixed and variable costs of product production or service provision 
    The price and number of units sold at that price 
    The number of units of product or service sold to cover the fixed and variable costs at the price level. 
    Part III: Pro Forma Income Statement: 
    A Pro Forma is an income statement that predicts income for your new or revised product or service you are recommending to East Chestnut Regional Health System (ECRHS) after one year. It shows the sales ECRHS expects to achieve during that period of time, along with the costs associated with that level of sales. The organization must cover the costs of products or services it delivers (Cost of Goods Sold) and the expenses we estimate to achieve those sales (salaries for sales reps, advertising, promotion, and office expenses, etc.). This will leave us with a projected profit. 
    A good Pro Forma Income Statement proves out a strategy by showing the expected revenue minus the expected costs and the resulting profit. Conversely, it shows that you can’t have $100,000 in forecast sales and $3 million in projected advertising, since that would result in a loss. 
    Use the Pro-forma Income Statement Worksheet to create your Pro Formal Income Statement. 
    Create a pro forma income statement based on the above. Include the following for 1 year: 
    Projected sales volume in units and revenue 
    Projected costs of goods/services 
    Projected marketing expenses 
    Projected net income 
    Prepare a 500-word summary statement of your Pro Forma Income Statement for East Chestnut Regional Health System for the new or revised existing product or service you have recommended. Include the following: 
    Summary of Market Size Calculation (150 words) 
    Summary of Breakeven Analysis (150 words) 
    Summary of Projected Profit (200 words) 
    Part IV: Marketing Plan Considerations: 
    Now that you have a better understanding of your market and the finances of the organization, you must consider how economics and finances can affect your marketing strategy. 
    Write a 350- to 500-word analysis of how specific economic or financial issues will affect the marketing strategies for ECRHS.
