Despite its proliferation, we know relatively little about the impact of hospital restructuring to offer new services. This exploratory study examines the relationship between types of services offered and financial performance among separately incorporated subsidiaries of acute care hospitals. We draw data from the subsidiaries of all hospital firms operating in one state (Virginia) that requires reporting by all such firms. Results from multiple regression analyses of 1987 data indicate that units that existed longer, produced health care or related products, or were nonprofit subsidiaries of nonprofit firms tended to be more profitable than the other subsidiaries.
尽管医院重组以提供新服务的现象很普遍,但我们对其影响却知之甚少。这项探索性研究考察了急症医院独立注册子公司所提供的服务类型与财务绩效之间的关系。我们从在一个州(弗吉尼亚州)运营的所有医院公司的子公司收集数据,该州要求所有此类公司进行报告。对1987年数据的多元回归分析结果表明,存在时间更长、生产医疗保健或相关产品,或者是非营利性公司的非营利性子公司往往比其他子公司更盈利。
