	RIVER COMMUNITY HOSPITAL (A)
	Assessing Hospital Performance
Case 1 presents the opportunity to conduct an extensive financial statement and operating
indicator analysis on a 210-bed not-for-profit hospital. The case includes statement of cash
flows analyses, Du Pont analyses, ratio analyses, and economic value added analyses.
The instructor version of the model is the same as this model. The key to student success in
this case lies in interpretation of the data presented rather than number crunching.
However, there is ample opportunity for students to extend the model to include percentage
change analysis and common size analysis, as well as to create graphs (charts) as needed
to present their findings.
Note that the industry data used in this case are for instructional use only, and do
not represent actual industry data for the time period of the case.
