For this assignment, you will refer to the financial information you collected for the FP and NFP in M1: Assignment 2. You will also refer to the information on the fictional facility, Sakasegawa Memorial Hospital (SMH), for which financial data is supplied.

You will use ratio analysis to conduct a review of each organization’s financial information. You will carry out an analysis of the key components of the balance sheet and income statement. Then, you will address the differences in the accounting statements of NFPs and FPs, including an examination of operational issues.

Here are some questions you can use to direct your review:

  • Which organization is bigger? Consider assets, liabilities, and equity.
  • Which organization has more debt? Consider debt and risk.
  • Which organization is making money? Consider patient care revenue, patient days, and hospital beds.
  • How much money comes from sources other than patient revenue? Consider contributions and research.
  • How does the structure differ between FP and NFP facilities? Consider organizational type and overall structure.

Write a 3- to 5-page paper in Microsoft Word format. All written assignments and responses should follow APA rules for attributing sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M1_A3 .By Friday, March 8, 2013, submit your assignment to the M1: Assignment 3 Dropbox.

>SMH Introduction

0-bed metropolitan not-for-profit (NFP) hospital in a major city. The hospital competes with other hospitals for its patient base. Managed care is a significant part of its revenue stream and the hospital is not receiving competitive rates. This puts the hospital at a competitive disadvantage.
The hospital has been in existence for over

5 years and there is only a small mortgage on the building. This is an advantage for the hospital.
The hospital sold property and used the funds to build the infrastructure of the organization. While the hospital needs additional funding for major projects, it has no more property available for sale.
In addition, while the hospital has enjoyed the benefits of several significant contributors, these contributors are getting “contributor fatigue.” They are less interested in contributing because the hospital has not turned the corner on operation revenue and expenses. The hospital faces significant issues with the current economic crisis. The issues include a drop in

payments and a number of people in the community losing their insurance coverage.

Sakasegawa Memorial Hospital (SMH) is a

The SMH financial statement contains additional data that will allow you to conduct an analysis of revenue efficiency factors.
In this assignment, you will calculate direct expenses including labor, supply, and drug costs.
Assignment detail
Tabs to reference:
“Detailed Revenue” allocates revenue by inpatient and outpatient
“Detailed Expenses” allocated direct expenses by inpatient and outpatient
“2007 Revenue Expense Data” provides data on other income sources and indirect expenses.
Create a table that shows gross profit (patient revenue – direct expenses) for inpatient and outpatient services.
See example:
Inpatient direct expenses Outpatient direct expenses Total Expenses
IP Gross Profit OP Gross Profit Total Gross Profit
Calculate Gross Profit (GP) margin for both services.
Calculate GP per patient day and per operating theater (OT) procedure.
Compare your expenses to your benchmark data. (Because some of the comparative data does
not have sufficient detail this may be a high-level review.)
Comment on the services from the perspective of expense and revenue distribution and explain why
there are differences between gross profit margins
Complete a table that includes other expenses and other revenue. The table should clearly
distinguish between direct and indirect expenses
Comment on why other income and contributions are critical to the survival of the organization.
Does the reliance on investment income mean that the organization will take a higher risk in order
to increase income?

You will use the information from M3: Assignment 1, develop a gross profit analysis for managed care payers
to develop a strategic plan for a managed care contract negotiation.
Calculate inpatient gross profit for the major payers at the hospital.

Total Direct Expenses
Gross profit by Payer
Calculate gross profit and gross profit percentage by payer.
Comment on the results of your GP calculations.
In this example we assumed that patients from each payer incurred costs at the same rate.
Is this assumption correct? What level of detail of cost identification should the Hospital attempt to obtain?
Based on your understanding of your costs, you will develop a plan for contract negotiations with a managed care provider. In your plan,
outline a strategy for contract negotiation.
Based upon your analysis of the other organizations are you in a better or worse position when it comes for contract negotiations?
Payers always want to move procedures from the Inpatient setting to an Outpatient setting.
How does this affect the hospital strategy?

Roger Mayer:
use revenue distribution table

Allocate expenses based upon patient day distribution %.

You will analyze the SMH Data Set to identify costs associated with specific clinical product lines and measure gross profit.
You will compare results your analysis and become familiar with activity based costing and managed care contracting in this study.
The “Detailed Cost” tab provides inpatient costs and the allocation basis for each cost. You will put this information into a model
and a model that analyzes costs by product line. In this case we have for product lines including Cardiology, Orthopedic Medicine, and Other.
Calculate inpatient gross profit for each product line. The template that students can use is as follows:
Note: Allocate revenue based upon patient day distribution between product lines
Gross profit by Product Line
Comment on the results of your inpatient GP calculations. What product line is most profitable by dollar amounts and gross profit percentage?
Is there value in separating product lines into more detail? What detail would you recommend?
For example, what is the value in separating revenue and expenses by physician? Surgery type? And others?

In this assignment, students will carry out a profit analysis for a specific product line.
We are using the example of Cardiology. However, students can use another product line
Students will develop a Cost-Volume-Profit template to help measure costs and changes to variable and indirect costs using SMH data.
“Module 4 Assgn 1 Instructions” for baseline cost information
Develop a template of costs.
You should separate expenses between variable and fixed expenses.
To assist, the template provides some guidance:
Inpatient Cardiology Cardiology total Per patient day
Variable
Total Variable Expenses
Fixed
Total Fixed Expenses
Gross profit for Inpatient Cardiology
Calculate the break even point in patient days
Note: Break even point
Total Fixed cost / (per patient day revenue – per patient day variable expenses)
Calculate the break even point assuming a 5 percent increase in clinical salaries and a 4 percent increase in officer salaries.
A physician wants to add a new procedure that will increase direct patient care expense by $200 per day.
What is the impact on gross profit and the breakeven point?
The hospital is considering hiring a physician. This will increase annual costs by $250,000. However, with the addition of this
physician it is anticipated that patient days will increase by 6 percent. Is this a good move for the Hospital?
Many times it is difficult to determine if a cost is variable or fixed. In addition, costs may be variable, but only in a relevant range.
Do you agree with the categorization of costs as they are presented on this template? Would you recommend changes? What additional
information would help you analyze the data?

Roger Mayer:
do not calculate fixed costs on a per patient day basis.
