A complex approach to financing capital expenditures at medical organizations

Abstract

Capital investment decisions in healthcare organizations play a key role in the development of existing treatment options and the emergence of new technologies. Although capital investments require significant upfront costs, they can result in cost savings over the long term. Investments in technology and equipment can increase the efficiency by rapidly decreasing time of patients’ examination and the accuracy of diagnostics, resulting in a reduction of costs and lost capacity. The modern evaluation of capital investment projects is not a single process among various organizations and even within an organization. The goal set by the author is to provide a universal complex method for assessing capital investments in a medical organization, which can be quickly identified in the same format. The project proposed by the author analyzes not only financial factors, but also forecasts and expectations of stakeholders, operational and medical factors.
