### **A. Describe one unique administrative and one unique financial
challenge encountered by the two hospitals described in the attached
“D546 Case Study.”**
**Unique Administrative Challenge: Governance Structure
Alignment**
Ceder Bend Medical Center operates under a hierarchical governance
structure led by a board of directors, whereas Western View Children’s
Hospital uses a decentralized governance framework guided by a trust.
Aligning these two fundamentally different governance models poses a
significant administrative challenge during the merger.
**Unique Financial Challenge: Integrating Financial Systems**
The hospitals have distinct financial systems and budgeting
methodologies. Integrating Ceder Bend's and Western View's disparate
economic systems is vital for achieving operational efficiency and
financial transparency throughout the merged entity.
