Healthcare Connections: Capital planning strategies for rural health
6/20/2023 01:00 PM - 02:00 PM (CT)
Rural Health Clinics (RHC) and Critical Access Hospitals (CAH) across the country are dealing with difficult capital and facility expenditure decisions every day. Many RHCs and CAHs need either a major renovation or complete replacement due to age. With ever-tightening reimbursement, hospitals of all sizes must do a better job at planning their capital and resource expenditures to remain profitable/viable.
During this webinar, we’ll demonstrate how a disciplined and holistic approach to understanding market needs, service line growth/profitability potential, financial affordability, cost-based reimbursement and facility requirements can set your organization along a clearer path to sustainability.
In addition, participants will also learn about the latest in care model trends, creative resource/space sharing between departments and the latest in contemporary facility design trends for hospitals.
Some of the key topics we will discuss include:
- Forecasting patient volumes
- Service line growth and profitability
- Quantifying provider demand
- Understanding debt capacity and debt financing options
- Rural Health Clinic strategy
- The impact of facility changes on cost-based reimbursement
Learning objectives:
- Critical success factors in planning a major facility development project
- Considerations for RHCs and CAHs looking to build
- Effective strategies to optimize reimbursement, space utilization and market share capture
