As a result of budget constraints, your facility has been forced to close some of its sites and is now looking to find ways to continue providing services to the community in a more economic fashion. To make the decision, the hospital administrators are reviewing all types of options. They start by reviewing several reports to help them decide what would be the best way to continue providing services to the community and still make a profit. The following reports are being reviewed as part of the process: DNFB, patient satisfaction surveys, readmission rates, length of stay, physician index and service line reports, as well as several financial reports. The hospital is considering opening a new unit within the hospital. The plan is to have a new unit to provide one of these services: hyperbaric treatment, bariatric surgery, or a cardiac unit. You will assist administration in making the decision by providing ideas based on the reports you have access to.
