Careers at BayCare Health System

MISSION

BayCare Health System (“BayCare”) seeks to improve the health of all the patients that it serves through community-owned health care services that set the standard for high-quality, compassionate care.

FOUNDING STORY

BayCare was founded in 1997.  The Company was formed with the intention of filling what the founders identified as a void in the community health care space in Florida. 

Beginning with only a handful of hospitals, the Company has since expanded its operations significantly and has sought to streamline its business by consolidating duplicative non-patient care services such as purchasing, human resources and financial services under a single banner.

BayCare currently operates a network of 15 hospitals, as well as more than 300 associated clinics and outpatient facilities, through which serves communities in Florida. 

The Company has developed a system under which it is able to treat a variety of illnesses and injuries, including cancer, behavioural health, diabetes, extended care, heart and vascular services, infectious diseases, internal medicine, neurosciences, back and neck health, primary care, rehabilitation, sleeping disorders, sports medicine, and surgery.

Key Resources

The success of BayCare’s business model is dependent on its ability to deliver reliable and effective health care services to patients across its facilities in Florida. 

As such, the Company’s key resources are its network of hospitals and medical facilities, its inventory of medical equipment and supplies, its supply chain infrastructure, its personnel – in particular its trained physicians and clinical staff, its partnerships, and its IT and communications infrastructure. 

BayCare’s most important assets are its 15 hospitals, and network of more than 300 outpatient facilities, without which the Company would not be able to provide adequate care to its patients..

Cost Structure

BayCare incurs costs in relation to the operation of its network of hospitals and clinics – including occupancy and utility costs, the procurement of medical supplies and equipment, the procurement of third-party services, the implementation of academic teaching and training programs, the management of its partnerships, the payment of salaries and benefits to its personnel, and the maintenance of its IT and communications infrastructure.

Revenue Streams

BayCare generates revenue through the provision of clinical treatment and medical services to patients across its network of 15 hospitals and more than 300 outpatient facilities in Florida. 

The Company derives its revenue primarily in the form of medical fees charged either directly to patients, or collected under managed care schemes, such as Medicare or Medicaid, or third party private medical insurers. 

BayCare is not a publicly-listed entity, and as such it is not obliged to publish detailed financial accounts online. 

The Company, however, was reported to have generated USD 4.16 billion in annual revenue in 2018, up around 5% on the UASD 3.81 billion recorded by the Company in 2017. 

The increase was attributed in part to a rise in the Company’s net patient service revenue.
