Hospital

The Thomas D. Dee Memorial Hospital was founded in 1910 by Annie Taylor Dee and her eight children as a tribute to their husband and father. The hospital was ready for occupancy on December 29, 1910. Unfortunately, by 1914 the Dee family could no longer provide the funding needed to operate the hospital. Financial appeals to keep the hospital open were made to the Weber County Commissioners and medical staff but to no avail to save the institution. The hospital was scheduled to close its doors on

of Two Competing Hospitals”, we see both Porter Regional Medical Center and Banner Regional Medical Center reach an agreement to form a merger. Both Hospitals had at least one major current flaw and by teaming up they no longer had to worry about the aspect of competing with each other. PRMC faced the problem of annually losing large sums of money. While over at BRMC the problem laid within the infrastructure and not the problem of money. After the completion of both hospitals coming together to

The main objective of Beaumont Hospital is to provide high quality, efficient, accessible services, in a caring environment for Southeastern Michigan residents. Beaumont Hospital believes that patient safety is just as important as medical progression. Therefore, Beaumont Hospital’s risk management program consists of identifying hazard associated risks, controlling risks, and monitoring the effectiveness of procedures/practices. Risk is a part of patient care and services because everything doesn’t

As the Chief Financial Officer of Marysville General Hospital, I have informed the hospital board members, that the accounts receivable has quickly approached the 100th day mark. The accounts receivable had crept from the 70-80 day range within the past few months, which is greater than the average of 55 days. There are many factors that could be a potential reason as to why the hospital accounts receivable days are rising, however, collectively the board members will create a plan of action that

INTRODUCTION. Hospitals are health care institutions that are normally located in areas that are densely populated. There are over 17,000 hospitals in the whole world. In accord with the original meaning of the word, hospitals were originally "places of hospitality", and this meaning is still preserved in the names of some institutions such as the Royal Hospital Chelsea, established in 1681 as a retirement and nursing home for veteran soldiers.

CHF and Heart Failure Changes in Hospital Re-Admissions Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) and Heart Failure (HF) are serious problems in regards to hospital re-admissions especially regarding the sixty-five year old population. Data demonstrates approximately over 670,000 individuals each year are diagnosed with CHF, along with that there are 6 (six) million Americans affected with CHF. Hersh, Masoudi, and Allen (2013) described readmissions of patients with CHF is increasing by 25% within thirty

States are hospitals. For-profit is an organization that operates to make a profit while a non- profit organization makes no profit. Charities and organizations reported that, 62% of the U.S. hospitals in 2003 are non-profit. Non-profit hospitals gain tax-exempt by meeting the state and federal guidelines provided, while for-profit doesn’t get these tax. The non-profit hospitals serve as charitable purpose for the community and are sometimes larger than the for-profit hospitals. Private hospitals may either

non-reimbursable serious hospital-acquired conditions (Sollecito & Johnson, 2013, p. 25). Examples of “never events” include surgery on the wrong body part; foreign body left in a patient after surgery; mismatched blood transfusion; major medication error; severe “pressure ulcer” acquired in the hospital; and preventable post-operative deaths (Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services, 2008) The CMS reimbursement rules for never events cause serious revenue loss for the hospitals, hence a shift in the

I compared Medstar Good Samarian Hospital, GBMC and Medstar Franklin Square Hospitals (FSH) for my comparison. I chose these three because they are near my home and I would likely be taken to one of them in an emergency. I was most surprised by the percentages under the readmission and death rates tab. This category included patients who were previously admitted to the hospital for treatment of medical problems and later experienced an issue that caused them to be readmitted. For COPD, heart attack

The hospital should adapt “a best-practice approach” in response to participating in the retail care market (Grube, Cohen, & Clarin, 2014, p.55). This involves obtaining comprehensive strategic and financial analysis of hospital’s current and future position in the market (Grube, Cohen & Clarin, 2014). The hospital must evaluate its ability to compete. Competition from other health clinics and outpatient providers is a 55% concern for financial hospital leaders (ACHE, 2015). As the hospital seeks
