Abstract

Everyone has felt the economic pressures of the last several years, especially people responsible for the bottom lines of most healthcare delivery systems. Executives at Mercy Healthcare Sacramento, a division of Catholic Healthcare West, were no exception. After a $19 million loss in 1987 the healthcare system made numerous changes that eventually moved its earnings to $15 million in fiscal year 1990-91.
