| | RIVER COMMUNITY HOSPITAL (A) |
| | Assessing Hospital Performance |
| Case 1 presents the opportunity to conduct an extensive financial statement and operating |
| indicator analysis on a 210-bed not-for-profit hospital. The case includes statement of cash |
| flows analyses, Du Pont analyses, ratio analyses, and economic value added analyses. |
| The instructor version of the model is the same as this model. The key to student success in |
| this case lies in interpretation of the data presented rather than number crunching. |
| However, there is ample opportunity for students to extend the model to include percentage |
| change analysis and common size analysis, as well as to create graphs (charts) as needed |
| to present their findings. |
| Note that the industry data used in this case are for instructional use only, and do |
| not represent actual industry data for the time period of the case. |
