CASE STUDY: OUTPATIENT FERTILITY CLINIC
Scenario
You and several of your colleague business partners have decided to establish
an outpatient fertility clinic in your service area. All of you are very familiar with
this patient population base, have completed an extensive market analysis that
demonstrated a great need for the service, and are comfortable with setting up a
business and the costs associated with this special group of patients.
As part of the business plan, you and your partners will need to convince
stakeholders that this new service endeavor will be viable. They will want to know:
• How many patient visits annually will need to occur
• How long it will take for the service to be at least cost neutral or profitable
