  • Title: Financial assessment of small multihospital systems.
    Author: McCue MJ, Lynch JR.
    Journal: Hosp Health Serv Adm; 1987 May; 32(2):171-89. PubMed ID: 10282244.
    Abstract:
    This article examines the financial performance of small multihospital systems relative to freestanding hospitals. Small systems, defined as seven or fewer hospital units, were analyzed for three ownership categories: investor owned, church related, and secular not-for-profit. Finding few statistically significant differences between system and independent hospitals indicates that small systems are unable to fulfill the financial promises of system affiliation.
