Recently the CFO of Trinity Hospital sent an email stating that the construction cost would be $120 per square foot for the 5,000 square feet needed for the center. In total this amount is estimated to the cost of 600,000 in order to build on the property. This option has the advantage to be the sole owner of the property giving them all the rights to daily operations without anyone overseeing them and making sudden changes. The hospital would be totally responsible for everything versus leasing the property. One of the key disadvantages and risks is that the CFO explains that the facility has run out of space to extend on the site of the facility. This option may not be the best option but the risk and benefits must be considered in order to determine the best option to recommend.

Although government get involved into some issues and decide minimum wages and such. “People under free-market capitalism have four basic rights: 1) The right to private property, 2) the right to own a business and to keep all of that business’s profits, 3) the right to freedom of competition and 4) the right to freedom of choice (Nickels, pg. 35, 36)”. Socialism is an economic system where basic business should be owned by the government, in that way profits are distributed evenly on society. Even though the socialist system has more equality, taxes are higher, so usually bright and hard work people leave that society for a capitalistic one. Taxes are so high that most of the times is hardly any profit left. Communism is a politic and economic system where the government has control of the economy and the factors of productions.

Included in this summary, is the option I recommend and my basis for this choice. When considering building, buying or leasing space for the new orthopedic service line, one must consider current trends in healthcare.

As hospital building activity has spend the last few years under the shadows of Wall Street’s financial meltdown and Capitol Hill’s health reform debate, industry planning, design and construction professionals found themselves riding out an extended down market (Hrickiewicz, 2010). Construction costs for building the space is estimated at $600,000 (5,000 square feet @ $120 per square foot). The advantage to this option is the potential for the building to increase in value resulting in increased equity for the hospital. Additionally, the hospital would retain total control of design and modifications to the building. In a leasing scenario, any modifications would require landlord approval. Also, Trinity Community Hospital would have the ability to lease any excess space within the building to others to generate additional revenue. Costs for purchasing the...
