Auxiliaries can serve a more important financial role in today's environment than ever before. Hospitals are searching for positive avenues to promote themselves to the community and to generate more financial support to help offset the losses created by decreasing inpatient utilization and payments from third-party payers. Auxiliaries should recognize that their financial role has never been more important to the financial viability of their hospitals. Auxiliaries should communicate closely with hospital administration so that both organizations work to achieve compatible goals. Auxiliaries should be operated more like businesses, which means establishing goals and objectives, preparing effective budgets and interim financial statements, thinking and planning innovatively, and establishing adequate inventory controls, investment policies, and pricing structures. If auxiliaries follow these steps, they will not only succeed in providing more financial support to hospitals than ever before but will also receive the recognition and support they deserve for their effort.
在当今环境下，辅助机构能发挥比以往任何时候都更重要的财务作用。医院正在寻找积极的途径向社区宣传自己，并获得更多财务支持，以帮助抵消住院人数减少和第三方付款人支付减少所造成的损失。辅助机构应认识到，它们的财务作用对其医院的财务生存能力而言，从未像现在这样重要。辅助机构应与医院管理层密切沟通，以便两个组织共同努力实现兼容的目标。辅助机构的运营应更像企业，这意味着要制定目标和宗旨，编制有效的预算和中期财务报表，进行创新思考和规划，并建立适当的库存控制、投资政策和定价结构。如果辅助机构采取这些步骤，它们不仅将成功地为医院提供比以往更多的财务支持，而且还将因其努力而获得应有的认可和支持。
