National Hospital Flash Report

Based on January Data from Over 600 Hospitals

Dear Readers, Welcome to the February issue of the National Hospital Flash Report.  In this issue, you will read about strong January profitability performance offset by revenue growth despite generally unfavorable volume and expense trends. Many of our readers have asked to see trends in KPIs over time, and we pleased to offer a special supplement that will take the place of the Spotlight this month: The 2018 National Hospital Flash Report Year-In-Review.  In the special supplement, you will see how 2018 performance compared with 2017 and will also see trend lines of our major key performance indicators spanning the year.  We believe you will find this special supplement extremely useful and interesting, and will be encouraged by the improving performance of hospitals in 2018. As always, we welcome your feedback on the report and continue to improve it based upon your needs.  Some of our readers have been incorporating our indicators in their dashboards and meetings, and have signified it has helped drive change through their organizations.  Please continue to send us feedback on how you are using the report and how it has impacted your organization.  We look forward to your continued readership,

Real Data. Real Insight. Real Time.
