Patient Throughput: A Critical Strategy for Success
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Pressured Return on Assets: For most U.S. providers, the need for enhanced Return on Assets (ROA) is significant and will only increase as operating cost growth continues in the face of constrained reimbursement, resulting in decreasing ROA, net income and a higher future cost of capital. Those providers considering constructing new beds face even greater ROA hurdles because construction costs have been rising nearly 7% annually and the average construction cost for new hospital beds in many markets now exceeds $1M per bed. 6, 7 To materially increase ROA, providers must find an effective means of improving inpatient throughput in order to increase inpatient discharges and revenue per bed.
