Description
Summary:Many factors associated with differential operating performance of a sample of 235 Catholic community hospitals partitioned into 3 panels based on the average ratio of revenue over expenses to net patient revenue in the time period of 1986 to 1989 are documented. Panel A consists of hospitals with relatively high returns to net patient revenue. Panel B is hospitals with average returns, and Panel C is hospitals with low returns. Financial and other hospital-specific characteristics are compared between these groups. A comparison of these hospitals indicated that facilities with relatively high returns on net patient revenue made significantly higher proportional investment in medical technology and equipment, compared to low return hospitals, and were larger is size.
