Moody's: 118 Statistics on Non-Profit Hospital Medians

Last week, Moody's Investors Service issued a report citing that non-profit hospitals had a solid fiscal year 2011. Median revenue grew 5.3 percent, and hospitals generally kept their balance sheets cleaner and emphasized a healthier cash flow.

Hospitals' financial metrics improved year-over-year from 2010 to 2011, but Moody's said the stable medians are not likely to last given the lower inpatient volumes and impending decreases to federal healthcare programs like Medicare. The following 118 median statistics compare several financial metrics from FY 2010 to FY 2011.


Note
: The following data are based on audited financial statements for 400 hospitals and single-state health systems within Moody's database. Utilization and liquidity statistics are based on a smaller sample size where five years of consistent data are available.
