UMMC CAMPUS MEMO
TO: All Faculty and Staff
FROM: Dr. LouAnn Woodward, Vice Chancellor for Health Affairs
SUBJECT: Financial Action Plan
For the last few months we have been closely watching our financial situation as we've experienced
unanticipated cuts to our revenue. Late this afternoon | met with about 100 senior administrators to
announce an action plan to improve our financial position for the remainder of the fiscal year that ends
June 30.
By March 6, I have asked for detailed plans from all divisions that will allow us to save approximately
$24 million during the next four months. At the administrator's discretion, these savings can be
achieved through a combination of expense reductions or revenue increases, but the reality is that
most of it will likely come from expense cuts.
Knowing that our hospitals have been working hard on labor expense management, | am protecting
bedside patient care from this cut. All other measures to meet this savings goal are on the table,
including eliminating programs and reducing the size of our workforce. Regrettably, we will not be
able to reach our financial goal without some reductions in staffing.
‘As | mentioned in a recent VC Notes, a number of factors have contributed to our present financial
difficulties. Chief among these is a decrease in our disproportionate share (DSH) funding, which we
receive through the state Division of Medicaid for providing care to large numbers of Medicaid and
uninsured patients. Our DSH allocation is always difficult to predict, but this year it currently stands at
$35 million below our initial projection.
On top of that cut, as of Tuesday we now have received more than $8.2 million in reduced state
funding for the current fiscal year. Revenue cuts of this magnitude, although painful, would be
manageable in a normal year, but coupled with the DSH reduction they require a more aggressive
response.
Even as we've experienced these reductions in funding, we have been working on a number of projects
to decrease expenses or increase revenue. As was reported in Monday's eCV newsletter, our value

analysis teams have achieved $19 million in supply chain savings since 2015. Other groups have been
working hard to improve revenue cycle management, shorten length-of-stay, and drive clinical quality
improvement and the savings it yields. These and other efforts to become a leaner organization will
continue
‘As we look to be more efficient, we can’t ignore the need to invest in our future. For example, we've
grown our clinical programs substantially during the last two years, even though it will take some time
for those investments to pay for themselves. We have to be thoughtful about how we shepherd our
resources and look for opportunities that are sustainable and will move us toward our ultimate goal of
improving our state’s health status.
You'll learn more about the financial action plan as it develops at the unit level. | ask that you please
be patient and let your administrators work through this process in an orderly way.
Our current financial challenges are not unique to us. Across the country, academic medical centers
and other industry players are struggling to cope with a historic period of change and disruption.
Clearly we have to continue to excel at our core missions of education, research and patient care and
maintain the integrity and quality of those pursuits. But we also must sustain ~ for the rest of this year
and beyond — sound business practices of expense control, wise investment and decisive action ina
changing marketplace.
| want to be clear. Achieving this $24 million in savings will not “solve” our problem. The fact is that
our revenue sources will continue to be under pressure, so this focus on cost will not end on June 30,
2017. In some ways, this is the “new normal” for us and for other academic medical centers.
The target I've set for us to reach by year-end will be hard on everyone. But it is achievable. We've
faced bigger challenges before, and with everybody pulling together, we'll face this one, too. Thank
you for your commitment to UMMC.
