Group Assignment 6.3: Consultant Report Group Project


Please find below listed assignment. My part of this assignment is to do #1 listed below using the information found in this paper as well as the attached excel spreadsheet.

The Consultant Report provides an opportunity for the student (working in groups) to synthesize the topics learned in this course into a project. This project provides the group with a hypothetical organization with some financial, operational, and strategic assumptions and asks the group to prepare a report to the Organization’s Senior Management and Board of Directors with an assessment as to how the Organization is currently performing and what recommendations are important to implement in order for the Organization to succeed in the future.

This is a small group assignment (Group Assignment 6.3 Group X).

For this assignment, you will need to refer to the following set of financial data:

·

Creekside Community Hospital Data

(Please find attached excel spreadsheet)

Utilize the following information:

· Hospital Characteristics (see attached financials)

·

· Competitive environment, declining market share to competitors

· Moderate to substantial debt

· Facility and equipment that is fairly current, but will have future investments in capital

· Partial electronic medical record system

· Mediocre quality and patient satisfaction scores

· Few employed physicians/ no hospitalist program

· Split payer mix between public and private

· Overall not profitable from operations in most recent fiscal year

· Local Physician Practices Characteristics

· Small primary care and specialty practices (mixture of solo and small groups)

· Independent ownership

· Loose affiliation with hospital

· Combination of office and hospital practice

Both Hospital and Physician organizations have contract-only relationships with payers and suppliers and are currently not working with either in any strategic way financially.

Your group is hired as a financial consultant to prepare a financial strategy (or strategies) to the hospital as they transition from the current environment to the future environment that will be impacted by health care reform due to governmental intervention, as well as changes from within the industry itself.

Specifically, your strategy should consider more than one alternative (outcome). When formulating your response, consider addressing the following topics at a minimum (feel free to add other financial topics as well). Question #1 needs to be no more than 500 words or a 1 ½ pages long.

1. Based upon the following financials attached, assess the current liquidity, profitability, and capital structure and what your recommendations would be for improving these for the future.
Give 3-4 concrete financial recommendations based on this information
.

CREEKSIDE COMMUNITY HOSPITAL (A)
Assessing Hospital Performance
Case 1 presents the opportunity to conduct an extensive financial statement and operating indicator
analysis on a

210
Du Pont analyses, ratio analyses, and economic value added analyses.
The INPUT DATA section of the model contains historical financial and operating data. The OUTPUT
DATA section contains all of the relevant analyses. Note that the model extends out to Column K.
The key to student success in this case lies in interpretation of the data presented rather
than number crunching. However, there is ample opportunity for students to extend the model to
include percentage change analysis and common size analysis, as well as to create graphs (charts)
as needed to present their findings.
Note that the industry data used in this case are for instructional use only, and do not
represent actual industry data for the time period of the case.
