B. Sources of Capital
C. Reporting Practices

A. Investor-Owned Hospital
B. Debt Including Leases
3. Comparison
Hospitals are an industry in which both not-for-profits and investor-owned
facilities operate. The sources of capital available to the not-for-profits include
charitable contributions and debt offerings—unless they are governmental, in
which case, higher taxes are also an alternative. Debt availability is always, in part,
a function of performance, and just as failures have arisen in both sectors, about
one-third of the investor-owned hospitals have been described as losing money. Of
interest is how can one effectively evaluate such an industry, with this type of
diversity in organizational forms and capital availability? A necessary prerequisite
to such an evaluation is to have a firm understanding of how charitable
contributions are presented.
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital/ALSAC has the mission of finding cures for
children with catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. For the fiscal
year 1999, this entity reported total assets of $221,664,232 and income of
5.2-3
5.3-1

$177,071,890. A Web site at http://www.stjude.org, as well as Guidestar’s listing,
references a Form 990 (Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax) filing,
availability of audited financial statements upon request, and information that the
hospital has 2,100 employees and 350 volunteers. Founded in 1962, the
organization seeks funds

Summary of a Peer-Reviewed Article
Identify and summarize a published research article, in either the print literature or online, that uses one of the multivariate statistical analysis we have looked at in this course in the results section. Acceptable articles will have factor analysis, logistic regression, MANOVA, or discriminant analysis as their primary method of data analysis.
Important: your article must be one that relates to either 1) your proposed dissertation topic, or 2) your current career of field of interest.
For this assignment, find an article based on only one experiment rather than on a series of experiments. The selected article must be based on empirical (data-based) research. Qualitative studies, meta-analytic studies, or purely descriptive research studies are not appropriate.
Summarize the study in a two-page paper, focusing primarily on the methodology and the meaning of the output. Details of the procedure (for example, sampling) are not as important as a thorough discussion of the method and its meaning. Be sure to interpret the output using the terms and vocabulary we have studied. Include in the final section of your paper HOW this article is related to either 1) your proposed dissertation topic, or 2) your current career or field of interest.
