Are you retarded? You are on here saying that capital expenditures are more of an expense than provider/physician expenses. They don’t even come close.
Are you insinuating that Scripps, or “Scripts” as you spell it, model is extremely different than the rest of the institutions in the country? If so, you are clueless. You see, they have this thing called MGMA benchmarking. It is an organization that pretty much compares all metrics of institutions of the similar makeup. I can guarantee there are not wild swings in stats.
Also, the numbers I pulled weren’t budget. They were actuals, for all clinics only. So explain to me how you think capital expenditures exceed physician costs. Total capital expenditures for all entities averages $127M per year. The clinics physician costs alone exceed that. Would you like me to have the capital manager email you the detail?[/quote]
Not sure I think capital is the only expense, just the hidden rapidly growing one. But, send me a referene for access to the budget you cite, and I will examine in detail, and it there are no hidden items, like leases on equipment, SPV holding companies, management company fees, or the like,and those expenses are not growing by leaps and bounds, I will post “Djshakes is smarter than Bubba99”
As for being called retarded, I dont like it. It just kills me that the courage to slander only comes to some via the internet, not in person. And Scripts vs Scripps is an inside hospital joke.[/quote]
Buddy, I’m a SFA for Scripps and handle all the capital acquisitions for two large entities in the system. This isn’t a debate in which I have any skin in proving what line item is a greater expense. Why would I care? However, when someone states something with no facts and I know the truth, I will prove them wrong.
I pulled all the data from a live pivot regarding PSA expenses. I emailed the system capital manager to get a yearly spend.
I have provided facts. You have provided guesstimates…..extremely wrong ones. Anyone that reads these posts will clearly see I know what I am talking about.
