HCS 380 Wk 5 Discussion Board

Answer the following the question on cash assets based off reading Chapter 13 in our textbook. Your initial response is due by Thursday. All participation responses to your classmates or myself are due by Monday.

Write a 175- to 265-word response to the following:

Businesses often use their profits (cash assets) to expand their portfolio such as investments, stock, bonds, capital expenditures, which can be to increase revenue streams as well as for protection purposes. According to our textbook, there are several reasons why a business must practice sound financial management.

With that said, answer the following questions:

  1. Choose one investment option for a healthcare organization (i.e., buying a building, surgery center, home health agency, or physician practice. Possibly expanding services, or purchasing capital expenditures (MRI, PET scan, or other expensive equipment). Possibly investing in bonds and stocks, investing in other healthcare organizations or mergers).
  2. Discuss what might be required to invest in that particular option
  3. Give the rationale of why you think the healthcare organization would benefit from using their cash assets to invest in the option you chose.
  4. Name one health care financial or operational decision that is based on the organization’s financial statements? Which financial statement would be best for making that decision?

APA Formatting: Use citations where appropriate and list references. All citations and references, if used, must be in APA format. Only 15% of the content can be source material. If you write in your own words, only the reference is required.

Be sure to answer the question fully and substantively in your own words. I do not want to see information from the internet or verbatim from the textbook. Please refer to the announcement section of the course for information on what constitutes a substantive response.

Participation Responses: Due by Monday (no exceptions)

Read your classmates’ initial posts as well as mine. Respond with two participation posts. You can respond to two classmates or one of mine and one classmate. Your responses should be at least 85 words. Please be constructive and professional with your thoughts, further knowledge, recommendations or experience.
