NOW FOR CUSTOMIZED, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPERSVenice Family Clinic started in 1970
by Philip Rossman, MD (founder) and Mayer B. Davidson, MD (co-founder) in a borrowed
storefront dental officeVenice Family Center (VFC) a non-profit, private, community-based

vision care75% of clientele live below poverty line and 16% are homelessVenice Family
Clinic (VFC) is a community health facility that provides health care to those people in need
(i.e. homeless and/or low-income). Currently 75% of the clientele treated by VFC live below
the poverty line and about 16% are homeless. The present comprehensive services provide
specialized treatment in various specialties, but their current Street Medicine program is
diversified and an area of growth and progress.2Assignment: Capital budget
proposalsFinancial Status of the OrganizationVFC’s current ratio for 2018 is 22.05. Current
assets ($24,286,070) ÷ current liabilities (1,101,514).VFC’s 2017 ratio = 14.93 (18,078,363
÷ 1,210,695). Increase in the ratio shows financial stability and growth.Revenue: insurance
reimbursements, grants, donations, and additional subsidized by state and federal
resources.Largest portion of reimbursements received from “third-party” vendors and
grants.Improvement in care associated to the increase in assets from 2017 to 2018 of $6
million.Reduction in liabilities total $359,000Based upon the annual report from 2018 the
acknowledged current ratio from 2017 to 2018 shows a growth from 14.93 to 22.05. These
numbers reflect financial stability within the organization and growth/progress. Primary
reimbursement received from “third-party” vendors with additional revenue acquired from
grants , donations, scholarships, and federal/state subsidizing.3Current Healthcare
TrendsThere are various healthcare trends impacting the operations of many healthcare
organizations. First and foremost technology has affected how information is collected,
organized, and then disseminated within any healthcare organization. Using technology to

2. provide access to the impoverished and homeless population is now readily available
through mobile medical clinics and now mobile radiology units. Using state-of-the-art
equipment we can now receive test results quickly and efficiently and reduce duplication of
orders. Another trend that influenced healthcare is the transition to “value-based
purchasing” not only in hospitals but also smaller clinics and private practices. Providing
care and services based upon quality instead of quantity has affected healthcare outcomes.
Access to mobile units can decrease the risk of health complications for at-risk populations
and impact the health issues within the community.4Technology improves access to
resources within the community.Reduces duplication of ordering tests/labs.Decreases time-
frame for results processing and reportingValue-based purchasing impacts the access and
availability to testing“Value-based programs, they are part of a larger government effort to
pay providers for quality rather than quantity by providing better care for individuals,
better health for populations, and lower cost” (Nowicki 2018, pg. 209)Decreasing the risk of
health complications for the homeless and poor communities can impact the health issues
for societyStrategic GoalsProviding comprehensive health care that includes medical,
dental, and mental health treatments for “pediatrics, general adult medicine, women’s,
senior, homeless, and chronic care services” (VFC 2018)Street Medicine program providing
“house calls for people without a home.” Additional services to include mobile radiology
services to the low income and homeless population will improve treatment options. (VFC
2018)Most reimbursement received from Medicare/Medicaid and private health services
(third-party payer) in addition to grants, scholarships, and financial aid which are impacted
by government policies such as the Affordable Care Act which provides a large portion of
our . Current policy changes or repeal of the ACA would impact outpatient services such as
radiologic testing Assignment: Capital budget proposalsAssignment: Capital budget
proposals“Increased numbers of uninsured patients, together with both the loss of Medicaid
revenues associated with the Medicaid expansion and most federal grant funding, would be
a severe financial shock to health centers and likely leave them unable to sustain their
operations and capacity at current levels” (Rosenbaum, Paradise, Markus, Sharac, Tran,
Reynolds, and Shin 2017)Within VFC’s mission and vision “to improve the health of people
and communities through accessible, quality care” (VFC 2018). Access to quality care
improves the health and wellness of the community, but also increases rates of
reimbursement. Reimbursement rates based upon specified quality care goals and
diagnosis-related groups (DRGs) can be influenced by utilizing the current Street Medicine
program and expanding on the services provided. Any changes to the government policies
such as the Affordable Care Act (ACA) will impact any outpatient services VFC can provide.
