Healthcare Finance Research
The selected organization is Baptist Medical Center The organization is headquartered in
Jacksonville, Florida. It was started in 1955 by the Southern Baptist Convention, a Christian
denomination in the United States. The healthcare facility has seven branches spread across
Florida. Baptist Health has a bed capacity of 1,168, a cancer center, emergency departments, and
more than 200 patient access points of care, including 50 primary care locations spread across
northeast Florida and southeast Georgia (Baptist Health, n.d. (b)). The organization operates as a
non-profit healthcare facility serving people across the state of Florida.
The facility offers various services such as cardiology, neurology, general and specialized
surgeries (replacement surgeries), urology, neurosurgery, oncology, pediatric, and other in and
out-patient services. Baptist Medical Center aims to offer the best healthcare services to its
patients. For the past two decades, patients have ranked the facility as their most preferred
healthcare provider in Florida due to its top-level medical and surgical care (Baptist Health, n.d.
(b)). It has been achieved by incorporating the latest technologies, such as the robotic-assisted da
Vinci Surgical System (Baptist Health, n.d.(b)).
Baptist Medical Center has a distinct finance department mandated with managing its
financial aspects and responsibilities. The department is led by senior vice president and chief
finance officer, Keith Tickell (Baptist Health, n.d. (a)). The two oversee the finance department
which is tasked with aspects such as maintaining and availing cash to meet various short-term
obligations, negotiating payments, managing treatment costs, preparing budgets, preparing
budgets, forecasting and analysis, preparing reports, and ensuring all financial objectives are met.
Responses to Five questions previously created on Baptist Medical Center
Q1: What is the mission, vision, and goal of this organization?
Baptist Medical Center being a faith-based healthcare organization has its mission tied to
the Christian faith. The mission is “To continue the healing ministry of Christ by providing
accessible, quality health care services at a reasonable cost in an atmosphere that fosters respect
and compassion” (Baptish Health, n.d. (b)). Its vision and goal are to be the best healthcare
provider in Jacksonville and beyond. The facility aims to provide the best patient care to the
community through the latest technological advancements in the medical field.
Q2. The organization’s strategic plan. What does it entail? Describe
Baptist Medical Center has a 2020 strategic plan guide called Baptist Health 2020 that
will guide the facility in improving its services and processes for the next five years. The essence
of the strategic plan is enhancing the quality of care and services offered to patients aligned with
Christian values (Garwood, 2020). The strategic plan also captures how the facility will increase
its involvement in the community and develop value for its patients. The strategic planning is
divided into five points with the first point encompassing accessibility through telemedicine and
telehealth which will improve its patient reach across the community (Garwood, 2020). The
second point pushing growth for the future. The third point is integrating the facility’s system to
improve healthcare provision and outcomes. The fourth point is advancing the Baptist way which
is providing a holistic and Christian value-based healthcare service and care for patients
(Garwood, 2020). The final point is advancing clinical care by incorporating the best healthcare
practices and technologies available in the industry.
Q3. What are fiscal planning strategies used by this organization? Describe Baptist Medical Center utilizes a proactive approach in its fiscal planning. It focuses on
long-term sustainability and growth by prudently assessing the market needs, organizational
needs, and patients’ needs, as well as patient demographics, and healthcare regulations. This

enables it to make informed decisions on resource allocations, cost-saving measures, and service
improvement (Garwood, 2020). Through continuously assessing and tracking the fiscal aspect,
Baptist Health can adapt to any changes and ensure it remains on track to realize its financial
objectives.
Q4. How does the assess its financial health and undertake any corrective measures where necessary?
Baptist Medical Center has put in place measures to continuously monitor its financial
undertakings to ensure they are within the stipulated goals and objectives. The hospital being a
non-profit organization mostly depends on donations from the community and well-wishers, thus
these donations need to be put to good use. The facility continuously tracks how these donations
are used as well as revenue earned from patient services (mostly discounted to help the
institution's main sustainability) to ensure their prudent use (Thomas, 2023). It uses indicators
such as revenue growth, donor funding, and cash flow to track its financial performance. Regular
reviews and internal audits as well as independent auditors help identify areas that require
improvements and administer corrective actions needed, thus ensuring the facility remains in a
sustainable financial position (Thomas, 2023).
Q5. What are the essential roles and responsibilities of financial managers in a healthcare organization? Do you perceive these apply to this facility?
Healthcare finance managers are mandated to ensure the best financial practices are
undertaken by the organization to ensure its efficient and sustainable running. They ensure all
required and necessary materials such as drugs and other medical supplies are availed by availing
funds needed. They also ensure necessary personnel are hired by giving appropriate advice on
the facility’s ability to hire more or additional staff (Cleverly & Cleverly, 2017). They negotiate,
and prepare contracts with various business partners (suppliers, creditors, debtors), prepare
pertinent financial reports and analyses, ensure compliance with financial and tax laws, and
prepare budgets and resource allocations. At Baptist Medical Center, the finance manager, Keith
Tickell, and his team play an important role in the handling of the financial obligations of the
hospital to ensure its continuous service provision and sustainability.
Assessment from the Research
Healthcare finance helps a medical facility determine the cost incurred in providing its
services. Quality of care, medical staff classification and qualification, value, and equipment
status will determine the quality of services offered to the patients by a healthcare facility
(Cleverly & Cleverly, 2017). The finance department is associated with quality, performance
improvement, cost of care, waste, and provider relationship as it acts as the foundation for the
medical facility. It determines what financial resources are to be allocated to various
departments, what equipment to purchase, the number of medical staff that can be sustained by
the hospital, and the development of sustainable measures for financial continuity for the
organization.
Baptist has undertaken various steps to ensure it prudently manages its resources. One
such measure was reducing its executive ranks by trimming it through voluntary buyouts meant
to reduce the institution’s expenses and increase its financial efficiency (Health Leaders, 2019).
This measure is deemed as a necessary financial decision that will help the organization post-
Covid and ensure its financial sustainability going into the future.
Overall, healthcare finance is an important aspect for any medical or healthcare facility as
it ensures these facilities can continue to offer their services. The healthcare finance managers
allocate resources, prepare budgets, develop fiscal strategies that ensure cost-management and
effectiveness, and provide guidance on the future sustainability of the organization’s operations.
Consequently, the finance managers in healthcare facilities can never be overlooked but rather
depended upon to steer them to greater financial heights.

The University of Dental Health (UDH) is a state-run university focusing on the education and training of dentists, dental assistants,
dental hygienists, and other dental professionals. The university provides both traditional undergraduate courses to 9,100 students and
continuing professional education (CPE) courses to 4,900 practicing professionals. UDH has just hired a new controller who wants to
utilize ABC. The controller has identified three key activities performed by the university and the cost of each of these activities:
• UDH has three buildings with a total of 140,000 square feet of classroom and facility space. Due to the large space
requirements for labs and other training facilities, the undergraduate program utilizes 126,000 square feet. Total cost,

St. Teresa's Medical Center (STMC) offers a number of specialized medical services, including neuroscience, cardiology, and oncology. STMC's strong reputation for quality medical care allowed it to branch out into other services. It is now ready to expand its orthopedic services and has just added a free-standing orthopedic clinic offering a full range of outpatient, surgical, and physical therapy services. The cost of the orthopedic facility is depreciated on a straight-line basis. All equipment within the facility is leased.
Since the clinic had no experience with in-patient orthopedic services (for patients recovering from hip and knee replacements, for example), it decided to operate the orthopedic center for two months before determining how much to charge per patient day on an ongoing basis. As a temporary measure, the clinic adopted a patient-day charge of $190, an amount equal to the fees charged by a hospital specializing in orthopedic care in a nearby city.

Glencoe Medical Clinic operates a cardiology care unit and a maternity care unit. Colby Hepworth, the clinic’s administrator, is investigating the charges assigned to cardiology patients. Currently, all cardiology patients are charged the same rate per patient day for daily care services. Daily care services are broadly defined as occupancy, feeding, and nursing care. A recent study, however, revealed several interesting outcomes. First, the demands patients place on daily care services vary with the severity of the case being treated. Second, the occupancy activity is a combination of two activities: lodging and use of monitoring equipment. Since some patients require more monitoring than others, these activities should be separated. Third, the daily rate should reflect the difference in demands resulting from differences in patient type. Separating the occupancy activity into two separate activities also required the determination of the cost…

Pauline Cooper is a registered dietitian and the foodservice director at Memorial Hospital. Increasingly, the hospital’s marketing efforts have emphasized its skill in treating diabetic patients. As a result, the number of diabetic meals served by Pauline’s staff has been increasing. As a professional member of the hospital’s management team, Pauline has been asked to report on how the hospital’s diabetic treatment marketing efforts have affected her area.1. How important is it that Pauline have historical records of the type (i.e., vegetarian, low-sodium, gluten-free, and the like) of meals served by her staff and not merely the number of meals served? Why?2. Assume that Pauline’s per-meal cost has been increasing because diabetic meals are more expensive to produce than regular meals. Could Pauline use sales histories to estimate the financial impact of serving additional diabetic meals in the future? How?3.
