This study documents many factors associated with differential operating performance of a sample of 235 Catholic community hospitals in the time period of 1986-89. A comparison of these hospitals indicates that a panel of 78 facilities with relatively high returns on net patient revenue made significantly higher proportional investments in medical technology, equipment, and facilities compared to a panel of 78 low return hospitals, and were larger in size measured in many different ways.
