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 more economically. To make the decision, the hospital administrators are reviewing various options. They start by reviewing several reports to help them decide what the best way to continue providing services to the community would be and still make a profit. The reports reviewed as part of the process are: Discharged, Not Final Billed (DNFB); Patient satisfaction surveys; Readmission rates; Length of stay; Physician index; Service line reports; Several financial reports The hospital is considering opening a new unit within the hospital.
