HealthcareFixed Asset Management / Depreciation4HighAccountant$ implied

Fixed assets in CIP are not being depreciated because they are not yet 'placed into service' due to inability to find a medical professional to operate the location, leading to overstated CIP balance and delayed depreciation.

Existing accounting systems lack triggers or rules to automatically assess and reclassify CIP assets when they become idle or obsolete due to operational delays, forcing manual review and judgment calls.
