Will the year 2000 affect your organization's investments?

Healthcare financial managers responsible for the investments of their healthcare organizations should identify the extent of their investment programs' exposure to year-2000-related problems. A letter should be sent to investment-related vendors requesting specific information and assurances regarding the vendors' efforts to contain or eliminate the year 2000 problem. An internal timetable also should be established to move the year 2000 compliance program forward in a timely and organized fashion.

Pension funds warrant a financial manager's review.

A hospital's pension funds may be managed by its finance department, another internal department, or an outside investment adviser. Whatever the arrangement, healthcare financial managers should be involved in the decision between internal and external management of pension funds. A financial manager also can play a prominent role in developing a pension fund policy that balances a hospital's commitment to legal requirements, pension plan goals, and communication with investment advisers.
