Our organization just announced its being sponsored by another Healthcare Ministry. They currently run their financials on a calendar year. We closed FY17 in June. We started FY18 in July. I need ideas as to how others have worked with this type of situation(moving 6 months of data into a new FY) I have been given instructions to use GL500 but the logic does not make sense for our particular situation. What happens to the first 6 months that are also reflected in Flex Budgeting, AC/AM. How do the balances whether current or from FY17 get reflected in the GL. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Read more

Would this be a form of imputed income and/or a gross up? What is our best approach to setting this up and loading? Any recommendations are appreciated. Read more

The surgical suite is the place where organizations and physicians build their reputations and also where hospitals generate much of the revenue that keeps them in business and supports their entire mission. Without operating rooms, it would be harder to pay for critical but underfunded areas such as chronic care, mental health and public health.
