Choose the right perspective
Match the person's scope to your question: a system-level CFO suits questions about multi-hospital finance and capital strategy, while the CFO of a single hospital or region suits questions about operating budgets and service-line performance. Check whether the relevant role is current or past, and whether the operator was nonprofit or for-profit, if either matters to your decision.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How did you improve revenue cycle performance, and which metrics told you it was working?
- 02How do you prioritize capital spending across facilities when payer mix and volumes shift?
- 03What changes in the finance function when a hospital joins or integrates into a larger health system?
