Both outpatient and inpatient volumes declined in July versus the previous month, with outpatient numbers decreasing slightly more than inpatient, according to the most recent National Hospital Flash Report from Kaufman Hall.
Some of the decline in volumes could be put down to fewer people electing for surgery during the summer, Kaufman Hall said.
The report, released Aug. 28, included data from more than 1,300 hospitals across the U.S.
