Business Case Analysis for a Gastroenterology Ambulatory Procedure Center

摘要

Tripler Army Medical Center has been experiencing the loss of GI workload to its civilian contracted network of providers for years. Its inability to meet demand is based on lack of space and staff in its current location. In addition, the VA clinic at Tripler has also been experiencing the same problem. The VA asked if research could be conducted for the development of an Ambulatory Surgery/GI facility on Tripler grounds with the purpose of a sharing resources between the VA and Tripler. A Process Action Team was developed and research was conducted. It was found that potentially, workload for both organization could be recaptured via several proposed options. Construction conversion costs, existing space, staff, equipment, cost sharing, and future projected workload were factored into these options.
