The Methodist hospital of Indiana was undergoing organizational and leadership change in 1988. Their longtime head had retired and William J. Loveday became their new CEO. He brought in a whole new management team to help him implement new ideas and create a new culture there. His new CFO was in charge of the IS department and after discovering that the department was in shambles with no real direction, he hired Walter C. Zerrener to become the Chief Information Officer. Zerrener found that the Methodist Hospital had spent about $20 million to install a state-of-the-art proprietary patient management system called TDS in 1970s but had done no upgradation after that .

Gradually, the concept of a complete system of health care began to emerge. In effect, the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word pioneered the idea of a total system of medical care that would offer the latest preventative, diagnostic and treatment facilities to care for the mind, body and spirit of all the inhabitants of San Antonio and South Texas. To this end, the Sisters opened a children's hospital in 1959. CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Children's Hospital is dedicated to the treatment of children who suffer from chronic illnesses and cancer. With a solid base of acute hospitals for children and adults, specialty centers and technological advances began to rapidly increase.

In terms of space and resources, all of these hospitals provide emergency care and acute care facilities. Both UCSD Medical Center and Sharp Healthcare equally engage Scripps Mercy in providing a diversity of medical facilities. Moreover, UCSD Medical Center and Sharp Healthcare are the major competitors in this distinct segment. Kaiser Permanent poses a moderate risk to Scripps Mercy Hospital, as it outsources significant services to other hospitals. Kaiser permanent is planning to grow in this segment as it has plans to expand by three more hospitals by the end of 2030. In the near future, Kaiser Permanente will ultimately become a major competitor for Scripps (Tu et al., 2013).

I would like to focus on one non-profit organization that has been doing very well in the recent years.

Danny Thomas was the one who started the organization and was helped by two other close friends (Pui, Pei, Pappo, Howard, Cheng, Sandlund and Gajjar, 2012).

The author will be discussing the issues that Catholic Hospitals face in regards to health care policy, and how the regulations of a Catholic hospital can sometimes be debilitating at providing patients different types of care. Catholic health care in the United States advances the health care ministry by caring for people and their communities.

This paper strives to answer questions based on the case study “Emanuel Medical Center: Crisis in the Health Care Industry”. As excerpted directly from the case study, Mr. Robert Moen, Emanuel Medical Center (EMC) president and CEO, was experiencing a number of challenges in 2002. The medical center faced numerous challenges in its external and internal environment.
