Hospitals continue to face financial pressures from healthcare reform and heightened competition. In this study, our objective was to quantify the financial distress in acute care hospitals in Texas, applying multivariate logistic regression in a four-year longitudinal analysis. Of the 310 acute care hospitals, 50 (16.1%) were in financial distress in the most recent year, up considerably year over year. Distressed hospitals had fewer beds, lower patient acuity, and less outpatient revenues than those in good financial condition. Administrators should identify business turnaround strategies for combating distress to avoid potential closure.
医院继续面临医疗改革和日益激烈的竞争带来的财务压力。在本研究中，我们的目标是通过四年纵向分析应用多变量逻辑回归来量化德克萨斯州急症医院的财务困境。在310家急症医院中，最近一年有50家（16.1%）处于财务困境，较去年大幅上升。与财务状况良好的医院相比，陷入困境的医院病床更少、患者病情较轻且门诊收入更低。管理人员应确定应对困境的业务扭亏策略，以避免潜在的关闭。
