Business Plan for a Varicose Vein Center, Columbia Hospital for Women Medical Center.

Abstract

This paper discusses the feasibility of instituting a Varicose Vein Treatment Center at Columbia Hospital for Women Medical Center (CHWMC). It includes a brief description of the workload and financial trends experienced by CHWMC from Fiscal Years 1991 to 1995 to explain why this particular service was considered. Health Care Administration literature was reviewed to determine the options available to hospitals to increase revenues and financial performance. The reasoning behind choosing a sclerotherapy clinic was discussed. The bulk of the paper discusses the assumptions made in creating this proposal. The Varicose Vein Center's feasibility was considered in light of logistic concerns at CHWMC (to include staffing issues), competition in the area, pricing, third party payor considerations, market analysis and advertising and also presents Pro Forma financial plans for the proposed clinic. Given the findings from the above analysis, it was determined that the Varicose Vein Center would be a relatively low risk, very profitable venture for CHWMC to initiate.
