Part I: LearnScape 1: Equipment Purchase
You are the CFO of small rural women’s health center within Bright Road Health Care
System. The center’s physicians have approached you about purchasing a mammography 3D
machine. The equipment is state-of-the-art and excellent for early diagnosis, but the women’s
health center has limited funds and currently does not have a large incidence of breast cancer
diagnosis. In addition to thinking about the impact of the machine on early diagnosis and
increasing revenue, you are keenly aware of the importance of keeping the young physicians
happy, in order to retain staff. On the other hand, the Board of Directors has indicated they
want to keep a tight control over frivolous spending, as they are uncertain how new
regulations like the ACA will impact the solvency of the corporation. You will need to
balance financial concerns, the authority of the Board of Directors, public
relations/marketing, the wishes of medical staff, and future implications when making a
decision.
