I remember profits ... barely
Article Abstract:
Managed care provider Friendly Hills HealthCare Network is able to achieve a 4 percent profit through careful management of several factors affecting profits. One advantage is the company's use of a prepayment approach vs a fee-for-service system. Other factors include staffing composition shifted towards less-highly skilled workers such as nurse practitioners and physician assistants, and management of early discharge programs so as to avoid costly premature discharge of patients.
