Impact of Global Economic Crisis
• Healthcare providers across the nation facing tremendous financial pressures – Operating revenues severely constrained by shortfalls in volume
growth
– This includes Maryland hospitals and physicians
• Strategic spending priorities still exist (i.e. capital, physicians, info technology)
• Healthcare reform/affordability is in the spotlight. – Cost reduction has become a national priority.

Healthcare Reform LandscapeNear-Term Maryland Environment:• HSCRC constraining hospital rate increases
– Maryland state budget still under stress – Medicaid expansion greater than anticipated
• HSCRC deploying many new methodologies– Admission-Readmission Revenue (ARR) payment structure (32 hospitals)– Total Patient Revenue (TPR) payment structure (10 hospitals)– Observation / 1 Day Stays– Outpatient case mix system (not the CPV)– Potentially preventable complications
Longer-Term: (Federal Reform)• Introduction of new incentive payment systems
– Patient centered medical homes , Medicare accountable care, bundled payments
• State has embraced healthcare reform– Maryland rate setting system will continue to evolve at an accelerated pace

What they’re talking about in the Boardroom? • Strategic Initiatives
– New programs, services, technology
– Physician integration
• Quality, Customer Satisfaction, Patient Safety
• Community Wellness
• Motivated Workforce– Satisfaction
– Wage rates and benefit plan design
– Growth and development training
• Corporate Compliance
• Financial Strength and Stability
• Covenants
6
New Roles and Focus • Change in focus:
– Volume growth may no longer be a primary performance driver – Frees us to ask: What is the best care setting for the patient?– Broadens our view of services beyond just those provided in the
hospital
• Incented to:– Eliminate over-utilization and over testing– Reduce re-admissions– Engage in primary care and disease management programs– Promote wellness
• Moves us toward being more accountable for care integration and what happens to our patients outside of the hospital

Soft Volumes, Difficult Payment Environment
Cost pressures from multiple sources, physician integration, technology and facilities
Declining operating margins
“New Normal”
Must operate successfully under very tight financial constraints in the healthcare environment of the
future.

Budget Process Timeline• Monthly
– Discuss any budget variances with Operational and Finance Staff• February – Executive Team and Finance Department Staff
– Assess current year financial performance and develop year-end projection– Develop “Early Outlook” for budget year operating performance
• Establish performance improvement targets
– Begin quiet phase of budget preparation for high cost areas– Focus on number of admissions and visits assumptions– Discuss CMI results and assumptions
• March – Finance and Operational Staff– Management team roll-out of key assumptions used in “Early Outlook”– Departments begin budget preparation in earnest– Submit proposals for new programs and FTE requests– Submit requests for new or replaced capital
12
Budget Process Timeline• April – Finance and Operational Staff

Why do you benchmark?• Compare your departmental activity to:
– The state averages
– Your competitor or peer groups
– Your prior year activity
– The current year activity
• Plan for changes within your organization– Growth
– New business lines
• Plan for changes within the state’s goals– Reduce preventable readmissions
– Increase observation
– Reduce one-day stays
– Expand outpatient services

Volume: Key Definition
Definitions:
Volume is the activity that can be counted in a department and is used to apply rates to develop the revenue for services.Examples of volumes or statistics are:
patient daysadmissionsvisitsRVUstests or procedurestreatments

Review Departmental Activity to develop next year Budgeted Volumes

FTE: Key Definition
Definitions:
FTE - Full Time Equivalent 1.0 FTE = 40hrs per wk or 80hrs per pay or 2,080hrs per year
Worked Hours - Regular and Overtime Hours paid NPPD Hours – (nursing per patient day) Education, PTO, Holiday

Capital Planning Process
• Evaluation of health system’s ability to fund future capital spending needs– Five year forecast (Budget is 1st year of the forecast)
– Quantifies funding capacity in terms of projected cash flow, borrowing, and fund raising
– Matches projected funding sources with spending needs
– Analyzes potential impact on credit rating
31
Capital Planning Goals
• Support development of services and programs– Generate sufficient capital resources to meet future
spending needs
• Position health system to be financially strong– Maintain strong investment grade credit rating
