Increased demand helped drive hospital financial performance
CHICAGO – June 5th, 2025 – Financial and operational performance for U.S. hospitals in the first four months of 2025 improved over the same period in 2024, according to the most recent National Hospital Flash Report from Kaufman Hall, a Vizient company.
“Hospital performance from January to April outpaced the first four months of 2024, largely driven by patient volume and hospital efficiency. Operating room minutes, ED visits, and inpatient revenue are trending upward, demonstrating a strong demand for services. A decline in average length of stay indicates that hospitals are triaging, treating, and discharging patients efficiently and appropriately.”
– Erik Swanson, Managing Director and Group Leader, Data and Analytics, Kaufman Hall
The National Hospital Flash Report draws on data from more than 1,300 hospitals from Strata Decision Technology, LLC.
