Your state has recently passed the regulation to expand Medicaid under Affordable Care Act. The Medicaid expansion will be implemented starting next year. In the monthly meeting with hospital executive, Charles Kelly, Chief Executive Officer of Baptist Hospital, requested you to prepare a report on the impact of Medicaid expansion on Baptist Hospital regarding ED services. The report prepared by you will be used by Charles to present the information in the Yearly Strategic Planning Meeting with Board of Directors next month. Please make standard assumptions about Baptist Hospital and hospital environment based on the state where you reside.
Please address the following points in your report:
Policy (Impact of Medicaid expansion, and its impact on emergency care)
Financial impact on Baptist Hospital (Revenues, price, patient volume, and reimbursement)
Impact on quality of clinical care to patients of Baptist Hospital. And, impact on access to clinical care by community served by Baptist Hospital.
Provide your conclusion on how Baptist Hospital should prepare in advance to address the changes in the hospital environment that will be caused by Medicaid expansion.
