Answer 1

Ans) Cultural issues:

- There are no real cultural issues due to the hospital is already approved and used in the city. If the addition is added on to the hospital it would help further the trusting relationship with the city that the hospital is looking to expand care and help.

- The budget concerns would be if it will be enough to open a new hospital wing with the needed equipment and staff. If not, does the hospital want to take this venture on? Are the costs worth the possible output?

- The accreditation and credentialing are based off state and federal laws. The hospital would not be able to function if it did not have the correct credentials. Also, legally a patient will not be treated by and healthcare provider who is not certified. These things are always checked in the background check portion of an interview and when JHACO and the state require to see certification and recertifications.

- I will graciously accept his donation. I would inform him of my understanding of his stipulations. But before I can make a commitment to the donations request I would have to run it by the Hospital director or board first. Once approval is made for the donations use, then we can proceed forward with the requests put onto the donation. The final answer shouldn’t take to long based off the amount of the donation. I would say about 2-4 weeks, since the hospital will need to crunch the numbers and weigh each possibility of what this type of new addition could bring.
