    CASE 6        Student Version                    Copyright 2010

            COLUMBIA MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
            Breakeven Analysis
    This case illustrates the use of
eakeven analysis to help make operating decisions. Note that the model
    extends out to Column AR.
    The model consists of a complete base case analysis--no changes need to be made to the existing
    MODEL-GENERATED DATA section. However, all relevant values in the INPUT DATA section of the student
    version have been replaced with zeros. Thus, students must determine the appropriate input values and
    enter them into the model. These cells are colored red. When this is done, any e
or cells will be co
ected
    and the base case solution will appear. Note that the model does not contain any risk analyses, so students
    will have to create their own if required by the case. Furthermore, students must create their own graphics
    (charts) if needed to supplement those included with this model.
    The instructor version of the model contains three graph sheets. Figure 1 plots total monthly revenue, total
    monthly costs, and total monthly profit versus number of incremental visits without the new marketing program.
    Figure 2 plots the same information with the new marketing program, and Figure 3 contains the incremental
    marketing program plot.

COLUMBIA MEMORIAL HOSPITAL BREAK-EVEN ANALYSIS 1
Columbia Memorial Hospital - Case Study 6
Andrew Espejo
California State University, Long Beach
Dr. Sinay

COLUMBIA MEMORIAL HOSPITAL BREAK-EVEN ANALYSIS 2
Underlying Case Issue
The chief executive officer (CEO), is concerned with one Columbia Memorial Hospital
walk-in clinic's financial soundness amongst three other area hospital's walk-in clinics.
Cu
ently, Columbia Memorial Hospital is an acute care hospital with 300 beds and 160 staff
physicians, and is one of 75 hospitals owned and operated by Health Services of America, a for
profit publicly owned company. Columbia Memorial Hospital regardless of the presence of two
other acute care hospitals, remains highly profitable because of its well-appointed facilities, fine
medical staff, reputation for quality care, and the amount of individual attention to patients.
Columbia's stand alone clinic in question is located across the street from the area's major
shopping mall, about two miles from the hospital. Walk-in clinics should hope to produce profits
quickly as they provide treatment for walk-in patients suffering from ailments such as sprains,
cuts and the flu. These clinics charge $60 to $200, depending on procedures. Only three of five
walk-in clinics survive today and none of these three appear to be a money maker.
Cu
ently the clinic handles 45 patients per day yet it fails to reach its potential of 85 a
day. The problem is that the clinic is staffed and ready for 85 patients yet these extra resources
end up as extra expenses. This led to Columbia's chief financial officer to look into the matter of
the walk-in clinic. The CFO stated three potential outcomes for the clinic.
Potential Outcomes for Walk-In Clinic Decision
(1) the clinic should be closed
(2) the clinic should continue to operate as is - that is without expanding its marketing program
(3) the clinic could continue to operate, but with the expanded marketing program.
Projected Profitability Possibilities
The projected profitability of the walk-in clinic for the entire year if volume continues at
its cu
ent level is a net profit (loss) of $3,173 and a gross margin (%) of -5.8% at 1,350 visits
monthly. So, for an entire year the projected profitability adds up to $38,076 in loss. The amount
of additional visits per day that would be required to
eak even without the new marketing
program is 17 with a monthly profit of $777 requiring a total of 62 patients total. The amount of
additional visits per day that would be required to
eak even assuming that the new marketing
plan is undertaken is 24 visits with a monthly profit of $581 requiring a total of 69 patients per
day. The amount of additional daily visits the new marketing program would have to
ing into
make it worthwhile, regardless of the overall profitability of the clinic is 26-30 additional
patients. Decision-making involves choosing between alternatives and the focus of incremental
analysis is to examine what is different between the alternatives in terms of three major amounts:
(1) Revenue differences "benefits"
(2) Cost differences
(3) Cost savings differences.
