My people in hospital management are telling me revenues are down roughly 30% from last year.

The big dough is in operations with a hospital stay that is covered by insurance and testing (scans and X rays). No hip replacement for granny or no scans for cancer and revenue takes a big hit.PurpleThrobber said:My people in hospital management are telling me revenues are down roughly 30% from last year.

I'd also bet that the total number of hospital beds available nationwide isn't what it was 20 years ago. I know in California the number of beds is down from what it was even 10 years ago despite an increase in the overall population of the state.ReignMan said:Hospitals are just like any other rental property, they have to maintain occupancy to make $$$. I bet the average heads in beds goal is North of 92%. The more cord wood the more they make!

Hospitals want as close to 100% as possible Surge managed with elective surgeries.

Lots of former hospital stays are now avoided with better treatment and an expectation of going home earlier. No more three days in the hospital for having a baby or a hip replacement.SFGbob said:
