Health Care Leaders Depend On Sound Operating And Financial Performance Indicato 2

Health care leaders depend on sound operating and financial performance indicators to make decisions regarding working capital management, capital budgeting, and resource allocation. These indicators help organizations maximize performance and strategically plan for new initiatives. For this Discussion, you select a health care organization and examine how its leaders and managers use operating and financial performance indicators in their decision making.

To prepare:

• Select a health care organization (Texas Health Resources – link to website below) and locate its operating (i.e., utilization rate) and financial data. 
• Identify one operating indicator (e.g., length of stay, admission, etc.) and two financial performance indicators (e.g., cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, short-term loans, etc.). (2 pages)
