Rosewater Hospital

Rosewater Hospital is a medium-sized institution that provides health care and other treatment services to patients.
Situated in Manila, it was founded by a group of professional physicians who joined hands to work for the community and
the sick by providing medical care, therapy, and other forms of medical intervention.
Rosewater Hospital is a four-story building with 85 beds. The hospital offers varying services in different
departments. The Emergency Room is situated on the ground floor; the Trauma Room provides acute services, including
a Resuscitation Room Bed; the Cardiology Room takes care of heart patients; while newborn babies are in the Nursery
Room. In addition, Rosewater Hospital has an Intensive Care Unit, a laboratory Room, other specialized wards, and
outpatient departments that serve patients who are not admitted to the hospital. Common support units include pharmacy,
pathology, and radiology units, the Admission, Records, Information Technology, and Accounting Offices, a canteen for
dining services, and the Maintenance, Facilities, and Security Departments. It likewise has a Doctor’s Ward where
freelance physicians treat their patients in their own clinics. In other words, Rosewater Hospital is a completer hospital.
The Hospital has 289 employees: physicians, nurses, assistants, managers, staff, maintenance, guards, and other
personnel with specialized functions. Some work for eight hours while others work on a 12-hour shift. In a nutshell; the
employees are highly competent, approachable, and patient; hospital charges are reasonable with quality service.
Furthermore, the admission rate vis-a-vis the number of available hospital beds is 58%.
Given this admission rate of 58%, Rosewater Hospital has to deal with electrical bills, considering that all rooms are
air-conditioned. Secondly, the wages and salaries of their employees are fixed costs regardless of the number of patients
admitted. Thirdly, Rosewater Hospital is compelled by law to admit any patient even if the person is not able to make a
deposit payment.
Hired as a Consultant, what suggestions can you give to the Chief Executive Officer of Rosewater Hospital to deal
with these financial challenges? Prepare an action plan.
