Hospital expenses: 48 statistics

While healthcare revenues have increased, so have overall expenses, according to the latest Kaufman Hall "National Hospital Flash Report."

Labor expenses, at least on a volume-adjusted basis, however, declined with lower numbers of contract labor nursing, a scenario that may reflect "overall financial stability," the August report said.

Here are 48 statistics to show trends in overall healthcare and labor expenses:
