Summary
Hospital executives in the U.S. are designating 2026 as a crucial "reset year" to improve financial stability and leadership amidst ongoing challenges. A Black Book survey reveals that 71% of leaders anticipate their organizations will emerge stronger by year-end, driven by optimism regarding federal and state policy changes that may enhance hospital sustainability, particularly in underserved areas. Furthermore, there is a focus on developing community partnerships and innovative care models, such as hospital-at-home programs, to improve patient-centered care. Although workforce issues persist, over half of the executives express hope that upcoming initiatives will aid in rebuilding their teams.
