OWNER: Chief Financial Officer Paul Ishizuka PRIORITY: We will be patient-focused by continually improving performance and managing costs, allowing us to generate capital to execute our mission.

KPM - NET INCOME: One

of the most telling measures of an organization’s sustainability is net income. Strong performance on this financial metric allows Skagit Regional Health to continue to reinvest in organizational growth, capital and our employees, providing exceptional healthcare to our local communities. SUPPORTING METRIC - COST PER CASE MIX INDEX ADJUSTED DISCHARGE: This

metric is a useful method of determining the cost of providing care for our patients. It is determined by establishing the average cost per discharge, adjusted for the acuity of patients. By improving our Cost per Case Mix Adjusted Discharge over time we are able to provide more affordable, patientcentered care.
