Break-Even Analysis Case Study
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
o
population base, have completed an extensive market analysis that demonstrated a
aC s
great need for the service, and are comfortable with setting up a business and the costs
vi y re
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 a) how many
ed d
patient visits will need to occur annually and b) how long it will take for the service to be
ar stu
at least cost neutral or profitable.
To provide them with this information you will perform a break-even analysis.
Use the following data and conduct the analysis accounting for the
sh is
contribution margin of each patient acuity category.
Th
Patient acuity is a concept commonly referenced by caregivers and the health science literature
but without specificity or consistency of definition or measurement. Acuity has become a
reference for estimating nurse staffing allocations and budget determinations. [projected
