6. Price Elasticity of Demand for Hospital Services As cost increases, purchases decrease beyond a certain point. In 2009 we saw a decline in hospital services purchased due to costs.
9. Comparison of MIP to “Turn Around” MIP vs. Traditional Turn around Approaches Comparison of Margin Improvement vs. Classic Turn Around Methodology Evaluation Criteria: MIP Turn Around Timing Used proactively before financial threat emerges and while leadership is in tact; turn over is low; outside expertise is used to provide objectivity and supplement expertise Used reactively after losses threaten survival; generally leadership is replaced or terminated; turn around management is brought in; focus is short term; long term results are sometimes hurt by large scale RIF Buyer CEO Board or Authority Leadership Impact C-levels rewarded for foresight and vision C-levels fired Message to Staff We are proactive ly addressing our major issues; Leadership is capable; we have a positive future; this will remain a great place to work; top performers are attracted We have failed and many of us will lose our jobs; morale is low; recruiting position is damaged; “don’t work here, there is no commitment to employees”; our future is in question; top performers leave for greener pastures Message to MDs Leadership is progressive and responsible; this is an opportunity to improve our practice and partner Leadership failed and was not competent; Turn around leadership only cares about money Results Positive Operating Margin; best practices implemented; improved patient service; improved or maintained recruiting position; enhanced reputation for leadership and institution; positive place to work Rapid deployment of RIFs; leadership terminations; benchmarking w/o reason to justify cost cutting; rapid reactionary style of management; negative place to work; top talent exits; long term harm to reputation occurs

718 billion and 50% of Americans cut back on spending
The objective of this initiative was to: Implement Best Practices in the Patient Care Flow Improve Quality Improve Patient Service levels Create additional capacity to serve patients
This graphic depicts the patient care process in all hospital and includes Best Practice standards. Red means that the best practice was missing, Blue means that it was being developed and black means that the best practice is implemented. As you can see, at project inception UHS was well in the red and a long way from best practice
This graphic shows the tremendous progress. All the missing best practices are now implemented or in process. This is an amazing transformation in a one year period of time. I have to brag on Janet and her team as well as the medical staff who have made this possible!
Out of 31 best practices; UHS had 0 in place
Out of 31 best practice, UHS is one year now has 26 out of 31 implemented and 6 in process. 5 of the 6 require major IT changes and improvements.
