U.S. Hospitals Experience Strong Financial Performance, but Challenges on the Horizon
CHICAGO – March 27TH, 2024 – Hospitals’ financial performance in February continues to reflect a strong start to 2024, according to the latest National Hospital Flash Report from Kaufman Hall.
“Robust hospital margins in February demonstrate continued recovery from the pandemic years, but challenges are on the horizon. The aftermath of the Change Healthcare cyberattack and continued competition from industry disrupters may test financial performance in coming months, as disrupters capture more profitable, lower-acuity, and lower-capital-intense services from hospitals.”
– Erik Swanson, senior vice president of Data and Analytics, Kaufman Hall
The National Hospital Flash Report draws on data from more than 1,300 hospitals from Syntellis Performance Solutions.
