  42. 1. Average Length of Stay • Revenue of proportional to the average number the patient stay in the hospital • High revenue in first 48 hours and gradually decline • End up in just a room rent • Faster turnover of patients = efficient asset utilization • Ideal ALS = 3 days max. 06 days

  43. 2. Age of the plant • Older equipments / hospital – lower depreciation – lower operating costs – higher profitability compared to a new hospital • Dominate market with low cost structure • But older equipments/ hospitals needed replacement , servicing , frequent breakdown and higher maintenance cost

  47. 4. Competition • Hospitals making profits can do many things to upgrade its market share , hence to dominate in the competition • Opening a cardiac centre in a nursing home • Hospital at breakeven state and working below breakeven level are very vulnerable to competition • Therefore new hospital should establish in areas where other competitors are at Break even stage or below

  48. 5. Debt Utilization • Higher the debt / equity ratio , higher the risk for the hospital • Young hospitals debt is a killer in the first few years, due increase operational cost in first few years • Hospital working above break even stage should go debt for expansion
