Prepare a Brief: Healthcare Delivery
Identify and describe a healthcare delivery organization or hospital close to you or for which you have a special interest. Review its annual report online and compile a brief that responds to each of the elements listed below:
- Name, address, Web address, organization type, and method of care delivery (out-patient, in-patient, etc.)
- The organization’s mission statement
- Who owns the organization?
- What type(s) of facility/organization is it designated (for profit, not for profit, etc.)
- How many patients are served monthly? How many beds are staffed vs. licensed for?
- What is the maximum patient load/occupancy rate daily?
- What are the major departments?
- What services does it offer?
- Does it offer charity care? If so, what are the standards used to determine who receives care?
- Does it receive any local, state, or federal subsidies?
