  • Title: Using MVA and EVA to measure financial performance.
    Author: Gapenski LC.
    Journal: Healthc Financ Manage; 1996 Mar; 50(3):56, 58, 60. PubMed ID: 10156588.
    Abstract:
    Two measures of financial performance that are being applied increasingly in investor-owned and not-for-profit healthcare organizations are market value added (MVA) and economic value added (EVA). Unlike traditional profitability measures, both MVA and EVA measures take into account the cost of equity capital. MVA is most appropriate for investor-owned healthcare organizations and EVA is the best measure for not-for-profit organizations. As healthcare financial managers become more familiar with MVA and EVA and understand their potential, these two measures may become more widely accepted accounting tools for assessing the financial performance of investor-owned and not-for-profit healthcare organizations.
