Hospital Watch | Archived

The Fund publishes the results of its health care finance work through its Hospital Watch series.   Twice a year, Hospital Watch Vital Signs reports the most up-to-date data on trends in use, operations, and financial performance of voluntary and municipal hospitals in New York City. 

More in-depth Hospital Watch reports analyze timely issues related to health care finance and utilization in New York. Recent reports have focused on:

• The use of hospital emergency departments and what those patterns say about access to care;
• Trends in ambulatory care;
• Non-residents’ use of New York hospitals;
• The effects of changing patterns of illness on hospital finances; and
• The deteriorating finances of New York City’s nonprofit hospitals and the resulting effect on capital investment.
