Impact of Changes in financial metrics to changes in strategic plan basis scenarios- In case of the changes taking place in the payer mix, from 50% Medicare to 70%; the operating revenue is going to increase proportionally for University of Maryland Shore Regional Health. Operating income will increase, and the reduction cost would also increase and the Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization will rise. “Therefore”, the operating profit would increase for the periods. Assets and non-current assets, along with insubstantial part will increase (Challinor, A. J., Watson, J., Lobell, D. B., Howden, S. M., Smith, D. R., & Chhetri, N., 2014).

“With”, payer mix Medicaid patients and the changes seen for that year from 5% to 10%, will twice as likely impact the operating revenue in that period. The depreciation and EBITA would be cheaper. (Kimyagarov, G., & Shivdasani, A., 2013).

The amortization and EBITA operating profit would be not as much of (Ioannou, I., & Serafeim, G., 2014; Karim, A., & Arif-Uz-Zaman, K., 2013). “While”, earnings before taxes would rise.

“With”, the turnover rate going from 5% to 10% this will increase the cost of hiring doctors or other healthcare specialist. As cost increase, operating earnings would decrease and there would be a change in productivity seen over the year. The operating revenue and depreciation would escalate due to the high staffing turnover. (Eccles, R. G., Ioannou, I., & Serafeim, G., 2014; Greene, J., Hibbard, J. H., & Overton, V. 2014).

The effects EBITA would be noticed as the profits prior to taxes would be less; therefore, causing yearly profits to come down, non-current resources increasing with the balance sheet. (Ioannou, I., & Serafeim, G., 2014; Mintz, O., & Currim, I. S., 2014).

The cost of operating calculated would decrease on the account for reducing operating earnings and expenses. The demand for exception customer service would increase as well as spending for University Of Maryland Shore Regional Health and with the increase in competition the Net Profit Margin would decrease.

The University of Maryland Shore Regional Health must have enough financial capital to carry out their roles or purposes. The University of Maryland Shore Regional Health before offering any services or starting the novice program, needs to make use of financial capital created to buy or rent space, durable medical equipment or supplies and employment or manual labor that require repayment before preforming any service to the hospital.

These prepayments are projected and will be recouped via the cash revenues which is received by using healthcare services from no operating revenues or government funding.

Money that is not recovered for repayment would be recorded on the balance sheet or the hospital financial statement relating to the hospital financial situation.

Strategic planning would include responsibility and verifying legitimacy of the financial data in the process. “In”, order for the University of Maryland Shore Regional Health to be successful requires a person with a business background that could provide changes in the viability of the hospital. (Popkova, E. G., Abramov, S. A., Ermolina, L. V., & Gandin, E. V., 2015).

Revenue growth rate is centered on the delivery of healthcare services and retention of patients. The volume of healthcare customer service and revenues will need to increase salaries and durable medical equipment. Bad debt also has to be protected. “When”, the turnover rate continues to increase due to the increase in competition in the health care field and supplying advanced services and applying proper solutions the rise in turnover would increase the budget for hiring healthcare professionals in the hospital. The increase in cost would cause operating profits to decrease, and we would see a decrease in productivity in the years to come as well as high employee turnover, the cost of operation and depreciation would increase.
