Hospitals play a critical role in healthcare, offering specialized treatments and emergency services essential for public health, regardless of economic fluctuations or individuals' financial situations. Rising incomes and broader access to insurance have fueled demand for care in recent years, supporting hospitals' post-pandemic recovery initiated by federal policies and funding. The recovery for many hospitals was also promoted by mergers that lessened financial strains, especially in rural hospitals. This trend toward consolidation has resulted in fewer enterprises relative to establishments, enhancing hospitals' bargaining power regarding input costs and insurance reimbursements. With this improved position, hospitals are expected to see revenue climb at a CAGR of 2.0%, reaching $1.5 trillion by 2025, with a 3.2% increase in 2025 alone. Competition, economic conditions and regulatory changes will impact hospitals based on size and location. Smaller hospitals, particularly rural ones, may encounter more significant obstacles as the industry transitions from fee-based to value-based care. Independent hospitals face wage inflation, staffing shortages and drug supply costs. Although state and federal policies aim to support small rural hospitals in addressing hospital deserts, uncertainties linger over federal Medicare funding and Medicaid reimbursements, which account for nearly half of hospital care spending. Even so, increasing per capita disposable income and increasing the number of individuals with private insurance will boost revenues from private insurers and out-of-pocket payments for all hospitals, big and small. Hospitals will continue incorporating technological advancements in AI, telemedicine and wearables to enhance their services and reduce cost. These technologies aid hospital systems in strategically expanding outpatient services, mitigating the increasing competitive pressures from Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) and capitalizing on the increased needs of an aging adult population and shifts in healthcare delivery preferences. As the consolidation trend advances and technology adoption further leverages economies of scale, industry revenue is expected to strengthen at a CAGR of 2.4%, reaching $1.7 trillion by 2030, with steady profit over the period.

Reducing unplanned readmissions is a major focus of current hospital quality efforts. In order to avoid unfair penalization, administrators and policymakers use prediction models to adjust for the performance of hospitals from healthcare claims data. Regression-based models are a commonly utilized method for such risk-standardization across hospitals; however, these models often suffer in accuracy. In this study we, compare four prediction models for unplanned patient readmission for patients hospitalized with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), congestive health failure (HF), and pneumonia (PNA) within the Nationwide Readmissions Database in 2014. We evaluated hierarchical logistic regression and compared its performance with gradient boosting and two models that utilize artificial neural networks. We show that unsupervised Global Vector for Word Representations embedding representations of administrative claims data combined with artificial neural network classification models improves prediction of 30-day readmission. Our best models increased the AUC for prediction of 30-day readmissions from 0.68 to 0.72 for AMI, 0.60 to 0.64 for HF, and 0.63 to 0.68 for PNA compared to hierarchical logistic regression. Furthermore, risk-standardized hospital readmission rates calculated from our artificial neural network model that employed embeddings led to reclassification of approximately 10% of hospitals across categories of hospital performance. This finding suggests that prediction models that incorporate new methods classify hospitals differently than traditional regression-based approaches and that their role in assessing hospital performance warrants further investigation.

Hospital beds provide information on health care capacities, i.e. on the maximum number of patients who can be treated by hospitals. Curative care (or acute care) beds in hospitals are beds that are available for curative care. These beds are a subgroup of total hospital beds which are defined as all hospital beds which are regularly maintained and staffed and immediately available for the care of admitted patients; both occupied and unoccupied beds are covered. Hospitals are defined according to the classification of health care providers of the System of Health Accounts (SHA); all public and private hospitals should be covered.
