They are able to use prior knowledge and learned skills to develop effective strategic decisions that boost economic profit. • All technicians are highly certified in their field. The imaging center strives to make employees the best in the business through additional certification and training in many areas. While Grapevine Imaging center has highly certified technicians, some of their competitors' employees lag in terms of qualifications and continuously having their knowledge in the field improved and updated. • The pay scale of the center employees is toward the high end in the market. The Grapevine area is considered one of the highest paying markets in the country. The imaging centers strategy is to build goad employee moral and relationships by offering more for their higher quality productivity. ® The market is underrepresented bath locally and nationally in the area of pain management. Grapevine imaging goes the extra step to ensure that pain management is necessary for the patient over some simpler form of treatment. All pain management doctors are certified in anesthesiology and pain management. • The center is in a high growth, high income area that has the need for specialized, privatized healthcare. ® There is not much control over pricing in this field because of the nature of the business. The medical field is mostly controlled by regulations and some also say insurance companies. This allows the company to be competitive with well known brand names such as Baylor hospital The company is also contracted to Etna which sets some standards in pricing. • The machines run from lam to l Opm and the company is very flexible in terms of meeting the patient's needs. To meet the need of high school football athletes the company began opening for a few hours on Saturdays • The company is constantly surveying patients and doctors to continuously improve operations and become the market leader. The business is in a high --1- BUA 630"x: Business flan Analysis customer service oriented industry so the company must always provide a high level of customer service to keep patients coming through the door. ® Staff members are continuously surveyed and trained on methods of keeping customer satisfaction. ® The pain management side of the business experiences consistent levels of repeat 'Vlslts. ® The waiting time per patient is around 20 minutes which is lower than local competition. The reason for this time period is that it takes time to process paperwork and insurance information. • The center offers pro bono work through GRACE. For Christmas 2006, they have arranged a food drive in their center to help GRACE, which takes care of needy families. • The center encourages staff to interact with patients to help make them assured of their visit. Each staff member has a business card which they pass out to patients in case they need anything through their visit and once they leave the center. ® The center makes a courtesy call to each patient the day after their service to check-up and make sure they were fully satisfied with the treatment they received. • The center offers brochures to give patients information on what they are about to go through. The center will give a detailed tour and explanation of any treatment to patients that are skeptical or frightened in order to provide reassurances ® The center has a very strong relationship with suppliers that ensure all supplies are delivered on tune and are of high quality. This relationship means that any important immediate special orders are accommodated in an efficient marax~er. They also have strong relationships with their waste disposal companies to ensure the different types of waste are removed and disposed of safely and in compliance with government regulations. ® The company has been operating effectively in the same industry far seven years. • The center is well known in the area and has a good reputatio~a. The center staff {mostly top management} attends many conferences and is part of many health care organizations that allows them to extend their knowledge in the field and use it as a competitive strength to f nd ways to outperform competition. -2- BUA 6307: Business Plan Analysis ~ The location of the center is a strength as it is located on a major highway (26} and is easy to find. ® The company pulls its patients from a 10 mile radius and in sorne cases beyond. Patients come from as far as Lewisville to use the centers services. ~ The company has a very good relationship with doctors as they go above and beyond to meet the needs of the doctors even if that means going to get a file late at night when it is greatly needed. This gives the business a good reputation among doctors and ensures referrals • Very low days in Accounts receivable compared to competitors. s The center is very flexible with payment plans. They are willing to work with patients whereas Baylor will not. The company accepts almost all insurance carriers and government medical assistance programs including Medicare and ETNA, whereas a number of competitors only allow certain insurance carriers and restrict government assistance programs. ® The CEO, Angela Colbert has co-authored text books which gives the company greater recognition and gives the CEO a greater identity in the market passibly increasing referrals. o The company has chosen to stay away from Thermography which takes thermal images of the body and is considered dangerous. Some competitors offer this service. -3- BUA 6307: Business Plan Analysis ''VVeaknesses • The website needs to be more interactive in order to meet the needs of a graving technologically advanced age. A modernized website is needed that fits the needs of the growing Internet era. Allow patients the ability to book appointments online and receive email whenever it is time to come in to avoid waiting times. A goad example is Carenows online facilities. • The current market in MRI is overrepresented with many competitors in the local market all vying for the patient dollar. • Regulations state that the center must track the process of all mammography patients throughout their treatments beyond the center. This is very expensive in terms of labor dollars. • Repeat visits are not considered a function of radiology • Local media is not a goad source of marketing and advertising far the center as it is difficult to target new patients in a market that is highly driven by word of mouth and referrals. • Larger signs are needed in front of business to make it more recognizable and obvious to patients were the center is and to put the centers name and existence in the minds of possible fi.iture consumers. If the center becomes more recognizable then people who drive by it an a consistent basis will remember rt more so when it comes time for them to require one of the centers services. Perform a cost analysis an potential income of larger sign versus cost to produce ii. • Baylor has more recognition, a larger budget and more capital to invest. This makes it difficult to compete with them in terms of teclu~ology. • The awareness within the community could be better. There name is difficult to brand as it is specific to the region, "Grapevine imaging" • As the market is very competitive there is the reputation of kickbacks to doctors for referrals. The company operates an a very strict code of ethics and refuses to offer any form of kickbacks to doctors in return for business. This means that centers that da, have a competitive advantage aver Grapevine Imaging • High depreciation costs on technology. Technology has none ar almost no salvageable value. -4- BUA 6307: Business Plan Analysis • High inventory costs to hold drugs and to store chemical waste and radiation material according to regulations. • Marketing Budget is very small compared to the likes of Saylor and other private hospitals that offer the same services. • Technology is ever changing in the industry and it is costly to constantly upgrade Registration process is slow due to an abundance of paperwork and insurance con~rz~aations. • Their reputation is not as strong as some competitors such as Baylor and Harris Methodist. • Very little space in current facility to expand operations. • The center could improve networking with the community, building better, stronger and everlasting relationships. • The coampany operates off a lease as they do not own the building the center is in. -S- BUA 6307: Business Plan Analysis Obpar-tuz~rtaes • The ability to set up contracted partnerships with the athletic departments in local high schools, colleges and universities. Send faxes to athletic training departments • The opportunity to set up service contracts with metropolitan professional and semi-professional teams including the Dallas Mavericks, Dallas Cowboys, Dallas Stars, F.C. Dallas, Dallas Desperados, Fort Worth Flyers, Texas Rangers and. Dort Worth Cats. To meet their athletic needs in the imaging and pain management area. • The company offers mammograms for women who may have breast cancer. Market research shows that women make the medical decisions in the family and if they have a goad experience with the mamxography services they may be inclined to serve their families needs in the clinic. By concentrating marketing on their mammography service they can attract women who also may be inclined to use the center for their athletic children. • Coronary analysis is considered the new big thing in medical technology and it could be an opportunity for the company to get into the business early. ® STARK laws are federal Iaws that control ownership of doctors in medical facilities and referring patients to their own facilities. Many loopholes have existed but Massachusetts closed up all these loopholes making it illegal for doctors to own shares in businesses they may make referrals to. Texas is considering the law and it could be put in place within a year. Grapevine Imaging is privately owned with no doctors listed as owners. ® Businesses that are failing or being sold due to market conditions or introduction of Stark could be bought at a low price and turned into profitable ventures using current managements skills and abilities. • Openings in market to take customers from competitors by offering greater customer service inducing greater customer experiences. • The market has very high entry costs so it will be costly for more competitors to enter the market and make the market more competitive. ® Rising demand for privatized imaging and pain management as the income level in the market increases. -G- BUA G307: Business flan Analysis ~ Long waiting times for public health care means more consumers are willing to turn to privatized care and pay the extra money. ® Insurance payouts and coverage is changing as insurance companies start to cover maze services/include mare services in their customer coverage plans. ~ The opportunity to add additional services including a new brain imaging machine and a coronary analysis machine. o Allow patients to download, print and fll out forms so they have them prepared when they arrive thus, decreasing waiting time at the clinic. Means patients can cut the time of their visit dawn sa they can make time for it in their busy daily schedules ~ The center management is so successful and knowledgeable in the field that they have the opportunity to expand and gain a greater share of the market. • Vertical integration is possible but would most likely prove too expensive for tlae center. Exploit emerging new technalagies to make services maze affordable and rnoxe technologically advanced ~ Build relationships with 1]actors to gain a greater number afreferrals from these doctors. They must be careful when doing this as it is illegal to solicit doctors. There is a limit on the gifts they can send. They can however send special occasion cards and thank you cards to make doctors feel appreciated. ® Referrals from customers who have experienced the center are going to make recozxanaendations to friends who are trying to find imaging or pain management services. Research shows that consumers in this feel often seek recommendations from friends based on their experiences. From this, the center should make their relationships with their patients stronger and the experience greater to receive more referrals. m The market is ever changing. If Grapevine imaging can produce a strategy that will allow them to adapt quickly to these changes through both short and long term goals, they will be able to adapt quicker and have a competitive advantage aver competitors. _~_ BUA 6307: Business Plan Analysis e Shifts in local demographic may create more opportunity including a wider consumer base. The population is getting older in the area and older people require a greater number of health services. m Taking advantage of the underrepresented pain management market. ® The deficit reduction act of 2005 restrains spending for entitlement programs under Medicaid and Medicare while ensuring that Americans who rely on these programs continue to get needed care. Together with the Medicare act of 2003 wealthier seniors are required to pay higher premiums for their Medicare coverage. ® The govezxent is trying to make Medicare and Medicaid mare efficient -8- BUA 6307: Business Plan Analysis Treats • Texas has the highest uninsured and underinsured rate in the country. With less people insured or underinsured there are less people with the option of choosing privatized healthcare • The cost of mal-practice insurance has been increasing. The center has not been sued and in the last seven years there malpractice insurance has quadrupled • Medicare costs are increasing. ® Changes in regulations or insurance reimbursements trends will shut doors. • Health care premiurns are rising and consumers now have to pay a higher premium. to have company insurance. Some Lower level employees will not be able to afford this and thus have insufficient health care. As these premiurns increase less people will be able to afford company insurance. • Insurance carriers are writing in higher co-payments into their plans so patients have to pay more on each medical visit. • Mergers or strategic alliances between competitors could give them a competitive advantage and hurt Grapevine Imaging's market share and patient referral as the new alliance may be able to offer mare services in one place, thus offering greater patient convenience. • Competition from other health care providers is increasing as they become more familiar with the market ® The company usually sells older equipment abroad to companies that are not as technologically advanced as America and have a need for equipment to serve the needs of their people. Fhilips and GE, major manufacturers in the field have started to produce and sell in these countries making it difficult far centers to recover some money on assets when trying to sell to these countries. • Kickbacks to doctors from companies in return for referrals • Some services they offer could become obsolete ar outdated • There is currently higher supply in the market than there is demand • Insurance companies favoring certain centers and sending their customers to them. as they offer the lowest contract rate • Doctors favoring other centers for various unethical reasons -9- BUA 6347: Business T'lan Analysis • Other centers obtaining more advanced technology. Those providers with higher budgeted technology costs can offer mare updated technology offering patients more for their money. • Competitors start offering services that were originally unique to Grapevine Tmaging. Grapevine imaging was at one stage, the only center in the area to offer pain management, now there are a number of them. • Increased competition as more competitors f nd ways to enter the market. A new center will be opening less than 5 miles from Grapevine imaging on Northwest highway that offers the same services. • The market becomes saturated causing centers to close due to lack of business • Other local centers may offer more favorable online centers, offering greater consumer convenience. ® Orthopedic hospital across the intersection from Grapevine imaging offers imaging services. • lrasuxance carriers may limit coverage in the centers area of expertise making it more Jiff cult far consumers to afford privatized healthcare with no insurance subsidization. • One bad experience or piece of negative publicity could cause people to abstain from choosing Grapevine Tmaging. The healthcare industry is very volatile and one bad piece of press could damage a company. • The threat of substitute goods emerging that are more affordable and/or have greater insurance company backing. • The fact that the center is small and private could make it difficult for them to quickly adapt or competitors may be able to adapt quicker to possible market changes _ lp AX-OG-OQ2 NS Creed Survey CITY OF SORT WORTH, TEXAS SERVICE PLAN FOR ANNEXED AREA 09/29/2046 Property Subject to Pfan: BRING a 1 D7.4 acre tract of land, situated in the NS.CREED SURVEY, A-'€ 898, Tarrant County, Texas Location and Acreage: Approximately 1 D7.4 acres of land in Tarrant County, located east of Interstate Highway 35 and north of State Highway 17D and south of Westport Parkway County: TARRP,NT Municipal services to the Annexation Area will be furnished by or on behalf of the City of t=ort Worth, Texas, at the following levels and in accordance with the fallowing service plan programs; 9.
