Summary
The March 2024 National Hospital Flash Report presents a positive outlook on hospital financials at the start of the year, with a noted median operating margin index of 3.96% for February. However, it anticipates potential challenges ahead due to the recent Change Healthcare cyberattack and increasing competition from industry disruptors. The report, compiled by Kaufman Hall's Senior Vice President Erik Swanson and his Data and Analytics Group, aims to provide hospitals with critical performance metrics, insights for operational improvement, and comparative analytics in financial planning, workforce management, and clinical variation.
