MHA Membership
“Hospitals should be run more like business.”
- Alfred P. Sloan, 1955
Hospitals and Other Businesses
SimilaritiesHeavy government regulation (DCH, JCAHO,
CMS, NRC, etc.)Unionized labor force Exposure to liability (defensive medicine)Intense competition for market shareTrend towards mergers/systemization
Hospitals and Other Businesses
Differences Information gap: traditionally no “Consumers Report”
for hospitals/health care Existence of third-party (insurer) insulates “customer”
(patient) from true cost of care Different “customers” pay different rates, and many
don’t pay at all Key decision-maker (physician) is typically not
employed by hospital, and financial incentives are often misaligned between physician and hospital
CON law – supported by MHA, business, and labor
