Requirement B: Revenue Mix (Strategy-Related Considerations)
The 10-K filing of Universal Health Services, Inc. describes the mix of revenue sources, as depicted in Table 5.3-3.
How does this revenue mix compare with the revenue blend of the not-for-profit entity, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (ALSAC)? Access the latest SEC filing and compare the reported revenue mix; has it changed?
What does that imply as to the strategies of investor-owned hospitals in managing risk and ensuring adequate capital relative to not-for-profit entities? An opportunity exists to explore the greater social and political questions that are frequently debated about the compatibility of profit-oriented entities and quality of health care, relative to not-for-profit entities. As background, identify what the latest SEC filings report concerning charity care.
