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?
