Introduction
This document has three sections:

Positioning Budgeting & Planning for Healthcare

Technical Requirements & Preparation Steps

1 Positioning Budgeting & Planning for Healthcare

1.1 Definition
Deliverables include a detailed data model, structured business processes, pre-configured models, and over 20 pre-built reports.
Overall design of this accelerator was strongly influenced by existing SRC/Business Objects Planning customers - over 200 provider
organizations currently leverage that technology - and is viewed as vital in our campaign to migrate those customers to SAP Business Planning
& Consolidation 10.1 NW.

1.2 Industry Planning Challenges

A Complex, Multi-Variable Planning Environment
A primary reason budgeting & planning in healthcare is so challenging is the multi-variable nature of the business. Planning typically starts with
top-level projections of growth across major patient type categories - Inpatient & Outpatient. These projections for volume growth must then
adjust the Revenue Plan (aka Reimbursement Plan) and workload statistics within Department Level Plans.
