Aspects of the recent landmark healthcare reform legislation likely to prove beneficial to hospitals include changes to insurance markets, malpractice reform demonstrations, and funding to help hospitals with high volumes of preventable readmissions. Hospitals are likely to be adversely affected by scheduled payment cuts and the employer "free rider" penalty. The legislation also poses transformational opportunities and challenges for hospitals, stemming from measures designed to change the care delivery system and provisions regarding hospitals' tax-exempt status and pricing transparency.
近期具有里程碑意义的医疗改革立法中，可能对医院有益的方面包括保险市场的变化、医疗事故改革示范项目，以及用于帮助处理大量可预防再入院情况的医院的资金。医院可能会受到预定的支付削减以及雇主“搭便车”罚款的不利影响。该立法还给医院带来了变革性的机遇和挑战，这些机遇和挑战源于旨在改变医疗服务提供系统的措施以及有关医院免税地位和定价透明度的规定。
