Financial statements are essential in measuring and assessing the real financial strength and position of a company. These financial statements provide quantifiable data for reports and help an individual to obtain an understanding of a company's forthcoming forecasts and risks (Weygandt et al., 2008). The purpose of this paper is to review the financial statement of Doctors Hospital in the two years 2013 and 2014 and analyze these financial statements and its financial well-being. In addition, the paper will outline the role played by advanced practice nurses in the financial welfare of the organization. Implications of Economics for Advance Practice Nurses. The Role of the Advance Practice Nurses in the Financial Wellbeing of Healthcare Organizations

In general, very minimal studies have been undertaken in the United States regarding cost effectiveness and economic impact of primary care delivered by advanced practice nurses. Results from different research studies indicate that, on the basis of insurance claims that made comparisons between costs incurred on physicians against those of advanced nurse practitioners and the efficacy of retail clinics, lower costs are linked with primary care rendered by APNs (Naylor and Kurtzman, 2010).
