How will hospitals fare in 2025?
With a new president and new majority in the House, change could be coming in the health care world, especially for hospitals.
In a wide-ranging overview at the possible changes to come, Fierce Healthcare looks at several important measures of hospital finances, including margins, changes in payer mix, outpatient volume and revenue, discharges, credit ratings, labor costs, and supply and drug costs.
It also considers potential policy changes, including changes in health care premium subsidies, future Medicare rate changes, the federal government’s potential role in health insurers’ denials of care, and the need for continued investment in cybersecurity and artificial intelligence (AI).
