Business Plan Scenario
Background
Community Hospital is a 180-bed acute care hospital that is qualified as a not-for-profit facility. The hospital was originally a county-owned facility and transferred
status to an independent facility three years ago. The hospital receives no external funding from governmental agencies for operations. The hospital is accredited by
The Joint Commission and received reaccreditation during their triannual survey last year. The hospital has an aggressive quality management program and a low volume
of medical malpractice claims. The hospital is located in Bedford, which is a city of 50,000 people with 80,000 people in the regional market. The hospital provides a
general range of acute care services including medical and surgical, rehab and emergency care. The president of the hospital has asked you to evaluate the feasibility
of establishing an off-site urgent care center at a local mall. You will use data provided in this scenario to make your decisions and recommendations.

Our Mission- To improve health by providing high-quality care through a comprehensive range of services.
Our Vision-Community Hospital and its affiliates will be the healthcare provider of choice for physicians and patients. Our five-year vision is to create a large,
multispecialty physician practice system that would include at least six family practice physicians and specialists in cardiology, oncology, and women’s services.
Currently the hospital employs three family practice physicians, one obstetrician, one medical oncologist, and one non-invasive cardiologist.

Payment
Continued focus on pay-for-performance and increased wellness programs. Affordable Care Act creating more covered lives, however often with high deductibles.
The median household income for county residents is $59,548. On average, households in county earn more than the state median household income of $44,446 and more than
the national average of $53,650.The addition of a new automotive manufacturing plant to the local market this coming year is projected to add 1,500 production line
jobs and 300 administrative jobs by year end. Median income for the production positions is estimated at $45,000 and will provide health, vision, and dental insurance
benefits.
As part of your review of this data, consider that a portion of the population will become Medicare eligible, the addition of manufacturing positions that include
benefits will increase commercial insurance coverage and changes from the Affordable Care Act will increase the number of patients in the market with insurance
coverage.
Employers
Expected growth in large employers with addition of automotive factory in northwest sector of county.
Physicians
Continued shortage of medical staff, especially in orthopedics, oncology, and primary care will require increased recruitment efforts.

Urgent Care Location Options
Location One is located at a strip mall on the north side of town with a twenty-minute drive to the main Community Hospital campus. The potential lease space is a
vacant storefront that previously housed a video store. The building is mostly an empty shell that would require $30,000 in renovation to create acceptable medical
office space with four exam rooms.
Lease cost of location is $3,000 per month for a total of 1,800 square feet. Utilities are not included in the lease rate.
Location Two is located at a strip mall location on the south side of town with a thirty-minute drive to the main Community Hospital campus. The lease space is a
vacant grocery store. The building is mostly an empty shell that would require $35,000 in renovation to create acceptable medical office space with four exam rooms.
However, the total space is very large, at 5,000 square feet, so there are other options available that could also be housed in that space.
Lease cost of location is $6,500 per month for a total of 5,000 square feet. Utilities are not included in the lease rate. The owner is not willing to subdivide the
space for lease by multiple parties.
