Hospital Performance Remains Stable as Greater Volume and Expenses Contribute to Financial Balance
CHICAGO - March 17th, 2025 - Hospitals’ financial performance remains stable due to a confluence of increased service volume and rising expenses, according to the most recent National Hospital Flash Report from Kaufman Hall, a Vizient company.
“January was a relatively stable month for hospitals, as more people received care due in part to seasonal challenges like flu and other respiratory diseases. Hospitals are also experiencing more rapid revenue growth from inpatient than outpatient services. Expenses are also rising, driven primarily by drug costs, though the rate of cost growth has slowed.”
– Erik Swanson, Managing Director and Group Leader, Data and Analytics, Kaufman Hall
The National Hospital Flash Report draws on data from more than 1,300 hospitals from Strata Decision Technology, LLC.
