Assignment 3-1
M. Isaac Ripple
1. By taking the data provided in table 1 of the case study, and factoring
the numbers to reflect data points over the course of a calendar year, it
became evident that, at the current rate of 45 patient visits per day, the
clinic would see a net profit loss of $24,750 in 2018. I arrived at this
number by taking each provided data point from table 1 and multiplying
it by 250 (number of working days in 2018, with 12 months in the year).
5. As a walk-in, urgent-care style facility, the Better Care Clinic does have
value to the hospital aside from financial and numerical analysis by
enabling members of the community to receive first-rate medical care
when they need it, without making an appointment in advance. While the
actions of the competitor, Baptist Hospital, might seem alarming to the
leadership of Fairbanks Memorial, they must realize that their clinic still
serves an important role in the community.
