    Determined healthcare systems routinely examine their environments internally and externally to locate significant trends and forces in the present and for the future which will have an effect on their performance goals and mission efforts.

    In addition to this business plan, we must also address the financial issues plaguing this organization. To illustrate some of these issues lets look at some of the trends here at OCB and within our Industry: For example, OCB’s clinic operations profitability in 1990 was 60%, and now in 1996 our profitability is only 37%, which is down 23 percentage points! We can blame some of this on rising costs of overhead, consumables, etc, however this is happening as the industry as a whole is growing 5% annually, and as our customer base, largely senior citizens, population is growing at almost 1% as year. We should be capitalizing on these industry trends, however, as you all know, not all the trends work in our favor. For example, our lifeblood, the Insurance company’s managed care organizations, and government healthcare reimbursement programs shows a downward trend of allowable payments for our services (DRGs) For example in 1995 the DRG price of ...

    Over the last 5 years the healthcare system has begun to transform. This transformation includes a focus change to preventative care to the new health conscious consumers and the reduction of healthcare costs (PR Newswire, 2013). This change comes from the consumers of healthcare as well as new laws such as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). This has created a need for hospitals to enter in partnerships to create hospital systems such as Centura Health. These hospital systems are expanding the continuum of care to include everything from preventative care, emergency care, and finally end-of-life care. This creates a need to monitor competition and create ideation plans to increase likelihood the consumer will use Centura Health over the competitors.

    Over 350 primary care practices and 1900 primary care physicians participated in the Project, which accounted as the largest demonstration project in the country. The main objectives of MiPCT were to provide better care management, self-management support, care coordination and linkages to community services ("About MiPCT", 2018). As of November 2015, 581 case managers participated in the MiPCT project to serve 1,158,650 patients across 355 PCMH practices (Rajt et al., 2015). To optimize the patient engagement, MiPCT classified case managers into three levels: moderate, complex, and hybrid roles. Patients are stratified based on their health risk levels and primary care services utilization (Beisel et al., 2012). Moderate case managers are responsible for patients with low- or mid-level health risks while complex case managers contact with high ‐complexity, high ‐cost patients. MiPCT designates one moderate and one complex case managers to every 2,500 patients within the network. In some small primary care practices with less than 2,500 patients, a hybrid case manager, who could manage both complex and moderate risk patients, is assigned to the entire team to facilitate developing individual comprehensive care plans
