Health Care Budget Based upon a review of the Patton-Fuller Community Hospital 2009 operating budget variances, the long and short-term plans of the various hospital departments and an in-depth analysis of general economic conditions, the following assumptions have been concluded and will be used in the preparation of the 2010 operating budget projections. In general, Patton-Fuller Community Hospital should anticipate a 3% total “deflation rate” for prices in 2009; because of the weak economy, which is expected to continue into 2010. Net patient revenue will continue to increase, but at a decreased rate (3%) with little or no increase in patient volume, because of new managed care contracts. Other revenue is projected to increase by 15% based on marketing's plan to increase donations by 15%. Expenses salaries and benefits salaries will hold to a 1% total increase in cost due to price “deflation” nation-wide with no increase in labor hours (due to no increase in patient volume). This assumption could be affected by a board decision either to raise nursing wages by $1 per hour or to increase the nursing hour ratio. The increase in assets in the year 2009 was 7%, which is caused by an increase in accounts receivable by 56%, inventories by 100% and increase in property plant and equipment by 41%. The hospital may have provided more credit to customers or consumers to raise the revenues and more investment in fixed assets and inventories to enhance the revenues. The Patton-Fuller Hospital organization seems successful, but not completely. The organization lacks in certain areas, as they were only able to raise their revenues by 10%. The increase in fixed assets and current assets have been financed by debt financing, which is evident from an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses by 120% and net long term debt has increased by 114% as compared to the previous year. The decrease in

    The net patient revenue and associated expenses such as physician and other professional cost should show a similar collaboration, because an increase in net patient revenue can only occur by an increase in the number of patients seen or by renegotiating the hospitals various contracts. With an increase in patients you would expect physician and other professional cost to increase as well. Another expense category that you would expect to increase and decrease based on the number of patients seen would be the supplies expense, however this is not be true with Patton-Fuller because the notes from their 2010 budget stated that the hospital over purchased supplies in…

    Sac-Osage Hospital is one of the many organizations in the health care industry that experienced similar weaknesses as Jackson Memorial. Sac-Osage Hospital encountered numerous problems that may have led to their financial instability. Although other factors such as combination of changing demographics, medical practices, management decisions and federal policies were some of the obstacles that led to Sac-Osage Hospital’s financial trouble; however, lack of internal control played a major role in the hospital’s financial struggles. Sac-Osage Hospital had an estimate loss of $1.5 million to $2 million in failure to filing insurance claims and account collection (The Times-Picayune, 2015). Jackson Memorial also struggled in the area of internal control. Furthermore, despite of a doctor’s effort to purchase the hospital to keep it open and running, it was unfortunately closed down (The Times-Picayune, 2015).…
