Executive summary 
This paper aims to analyze the case of The Caribou Memorial Hospital and Living 
Center which has been transformed into a Critical Access Healthcare facility also known as 
CAH under the program called as Medicare Rural Hospital Flexibility (Flex) Program. This 
initiative was taken up the hospital in order to respond to the need and lack of any good 
emergency healthcare service provider in the community of Soda Springs, Idaho. The case 
has elucidated the opinions and the findings of the healthcare professionals in the hospital, 
other hospitals in the community as well as the average community members to find out how 
beneficial or problematic this transition had been for them.
Caribou Memorial Hospital got converted to CAH status in the year 2000 and since then 
has changed itself with respect to various parameters which helped it to imbibe the change in 
status. The change to CAH status has resulted it to become a better healthcare provider along 
with certain lingering issues that need to be taken care of in near future. This case analysis 
aims to elucidate the internal as well as external environmental analysis of the hospital to 
form an informed set of recommendations along with implementation strategies. The sources 
of information for the case analysis are case facts, information available on the public 
domain websites and the journal articles of the pertaining topic.
