AbstractTitle: Hospital Financial Performance Under the Accountable Care Organization – a Case of a Hospital System in Southern CaliforniaAuthor: Lai, Sean WeiAdvisor: Professor Kuo, Nai-Wen, Ph.D., M.P.H.Co-Advisor: Professor Chang-I Chen, Ph.D.INTRODUCTION: The expenditure for healthcare accounts

for approximately 17.9% of the US gross domestic product (GDP). Despite being the most expensive healthcare system in the world, the US is out-performed by those in other industrialized countries. The extreme costs of the US healthcare system leaves millions of people unable to pay for medical serv

ices and medication. The exorbitant costs lead many families to medical bankruptcy and worsening health. Advances in healthcare and technology, new rules and regulations, and the rising expectations of healthcare recipients combine to produce a complicated environment for the healthcare industry. In

an attempt to lower costs healthcare providers were offered an opportunity to create a new entity, the Accountable Care Organization (ACO).METHODS: Annual financial data, published by the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development website (OSHPD), will be used to compare the financial perf

ormance of a selection of hospitals. The Wilcoxon Rank Sum test will be used to compare the financial performance between hospitals participating in an ACO and hospitals not participating in an ACO.RESULTS: According to the study, there was no significant differences between hospitals participating

in ACOs compared to hospitals not participating in ACOs in regards to Operating Margin Ratio and Return on Equity Ratio. However, there was a significant difference in regards to Total Asset Turnover Ratio and Inventory Turnover Ratio.CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that the first two years a hos

pital participates in an ACO may not have a significant impact on Operating Margin Ratio and Return on Equity Ratio, but do have a significant impact on Total Asset Turnover Ratio and Inventory Turnover Ratio. This suggests that hospitals looking to participate in ACOs should first focus their effor

ts on efficient and cost effective management of asset and inventory management.
