Item ACHE-North Texas case study report(2012-03-23) Marston, Carson; Shah, Raj; Singh, Richa; Subhash, ArchanaEvaluation of the ABC health system’s proposed facilities for expansion was conducted on the basis of selected factors. Detailed analyses were done using available financial and volume statistics. A weighted matrix was structured based on the evaluating factors like projected population growth, relative market share, operating margin, net revenue and cost of project. Additionally relevant market forces were also taken into consideration to finally rank these projects for investment. Since a major reason for expansion has been lack of open beds and capacity constraints, we have also included evaluation on the basis of inpatient volume as an important factor. The entire expansion project of ABC is directed towards increasing quality of care and access while maintaining costs. The recommendation in our ranking accounts for all these factors and helps to build ABC health system’s position strategically and financially. Discussions involve transitioning ABC’s expansion strategy from an asset management view to an operational strategy that would be effective in the long run.Item The Liberty Medical GroupWallace, Fallon D.; Herl, Keith; Howard, William (Bill); American College of Healthcare Executives, North Texas ChapterThe Liberty Medical Foundation is currently experiencing multiple challenges internally and externally that must be addressed immediately to avoid being forced out of the healthcare market by the competitive pressures of its business rivals. The major internal challenges include the $200 million loss in 1997 and 1998 along with the declining satisfaction of its staff and patients. The substantial loss due to external competition and internal operations is unsustainable and requires an instantaneous solution to rebound and become profitable again. Selecting the appropriate strategy to address the financial issues along with continuous monitoring and improvement are needed to prevent the disastrous losses of the past from recurring in the future.
