Hospital services comprise the largest share of
health care expenditures. Studying hospital
economic and financial performance is essential as a
means of containing health care cost and maintaining
hospital solvency.
Hospital economic and financial performance can be
examined based on the type of ownership (e.g.,
for-profit, not-for-profit, and the conversion of
hospitals from non-profit ownership to for-profit
status).
This book presents a comprehensive analysis of the
relationship between hospital ownership, location,
and other economic and non economic factors that
influence hospital performance and utilization.
The book provides a useful guide for hospital
managers and executives,investment bankers,
legislators, and policy makers. The book is
recommended as a supplementary text for undergraduate
and graduate courses in health economics and finance,
as well as for health policy and international health.
