Growing pressure to deliver higher-quality care at lower cost. New and nontraditional competitors. Legislative uncertainty. More investment needs than available capital resources.
The stakes are higher than ever as healthcare organizations allocate and manage capital to fulfill their strategic objectives. How should executives choose which initiatives to fund? Their organizations’ future rides on their decisions.
Strategic Allocation and Management of Capital in Healthcare: A Guide to Decision Making, Second Edition, provides leadership teams with detailed guidance for making strategic investment decisions. Employing corporate finance principles, this book explains, step by step, how to (1) establish a framework for standardized, portfolio-based review of capital investment opportunities; (2) identify an organization’s capital constraint; (3) assess and select the best value-enhancing projects; and (4) manage postallocation activities, including monitoring of project investments and measurement of results.
