As of 2025, New York-Presbyterian hospital is the largest hospital in the United States with its eight campuses based in New York City. This was followed by AdventHealth Orlando in Florida stands as the second largest hospital in the United States, boasting an impressive 2,787 beds. Evolving landscape of U.S. hospitals Despite the decline in the total number of hospitals since 1980, the healthcare sector continues to grow in other ways. U.S. hospitals now employ about 7.5 million workers and generate a gross output of around 1,263 billion U.S. dollars. The Hospital Corporation of America, based in Nashville, Tennessee, leads the pack as the largest health system in the country, operating 222 hospitals as of February 2025. This reflects a trend towards consolidation and the rise of for-profit hospital chains, which gained prominence in the 1990s. Specialization and emergency care While bed count is one measure of hospital size, institutions also distinguish themselves through specialization and emergency care capabilities. For instance, the University of California at Los Angeles Medical Center performed 22,287 organ transplants between January 1988 and March 2025, making it the leading transplant center in the nation. In terms of emergency care, Parkland Health and Hospital System in Dallas recorded the highest number of emergency department visits in 2024, with 235,893 patients seeking urgent care.

This statistic shows personal health care expenditure by source of funds in the United States, comparing the years 1990 and 2018. In 1990, some 70 billion U.S. dollars of personal health care expenditure was funded by the Medicaid program.

Personal health care expenditure in the United States

Health care facilities in the U.S. are mostly considered part of the private sector. The United States' total health care expenditures were over 3.6 trillion U.S. dollars in 2018. Globally, the U.S. spent the most on health care per capita as well as, as a percentage of its GDP. It has been ranked as one of the least efficient health care systems in the world. Health care expenditure includes a variety of services and products such as hospital care, physician and clinical services, dental, home health care, and nursing care facilities.

Personal health care expenditure in the United States has skyrocketed from 1990 to 2018. Funds for health care are still primarily derived from private health insurance and governmental health plans. A slowing growth in out-of-pocket payments can indicate higher cost-sharing and increased enrollment in consumer-directed health plans. In 1990, private health insurance funded some 205 billion U.S. dollars of health care services and increased to over one trillion U.S. dollars by 2017. Health care expenditure through private insurance has grown to over 35 percent of total personal health costs. The percentage of U.S. citizens covered by Medicare has increased from the 1990s until today. Medicare is a national social insurance program through the U.S. federal government which guarantees health insurance for citizens over the age of 64. Medicare expenditure totaled 697 billion U.S. dollars in 2018.

BackgroundSwitzerland ranks among the top three healthcare systems in the world with regards to healthcare access, suggesting a high degree of health equity. However, Switzerland has few preventive strategies against smoking abuse. The aim of this study is to clarify whether educational level and citizenship status have an influence on the prevalence of smoking in Switzerland and whether there is health inequity related to a lack of preventive strategies.MethodsWe based our analysis on publicly available health data published in the Swiss government's Swiss health survey (1992–2017). We compared the prevalence of smoking across the years and correlated these data with levels of educational attainment, citizenship status and age.ResultsA continuous significant decline in smokers is observed in the highest education group (TERT). Over time, prevalence was reduced from 29% in 1992 to 23% in 2017 (p < 0.001). The intermediate-level educational group (SEK 2) showed smaller but also significant decline on a 0.05 sigificance level over the same period, from 31% to 29% (p = 0.003). The lowest educational group showed a nonsignificant decline from 28% to 27% (p = 0.6). The population who holds Swiss citizenship showed a decrease in smoking from 28% to 26% within the time frame (p < 0.001). People without Swiss citizenship had a much higher prevalence of smokers, at 38% in 1992 and declining to 32% in 2017 (p < 0.001). All cohorts from age 15 to age 64 have a far higher prevalence of smokers than cohorts at an older age, with the highest prevalence in the 25–34 age group.ConclusionIn Switzerland, individuals with lower levels of education and non-Swiss populations are more susceptible to health risk of smoking. This is despite the existence of a high-quality healthcare system that has nevertheless failed to negated health inequities.

Context

How satisfied are U.S. patients? Is a hospital's overall score really determined by how well it provides good customer services? Are there types of hospitals or regions where patient satisfaction is better or worse?

Every year, all U.S. hospitals that accept payments from Medicare and Medicaid must submit quality data to The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). CMS' Hospital Compare program is a consumer-oriented website that provides information on "the quality of care hospitals are providing to their patients." CMS releases this quality data publicly in order to encourage hospitals to improve their quality and to help consumer make better decisions about which providers they visit.

"Hospital Compare provides data on over 4,000 Medicare-certified hospitals, including acute care hospitals, critical access hospitals (CAHs), children’s hospitals, Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Medical Centers, and hospital outpatient departments"

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) uses a five-star quality rating system to measure the experiences Medicare beneficiaries have with their health plan and health care system — the Star Rating Program. Health plans are rated on a scale of 1 to 5 stars, with 5 being the highest.

One part of a hospital's overall rating is it's patient satisfaction survey scores. CMS attempts to take into consideration how well patients are treated by the provider. A description of HCAHPS can be found here ***HCAHPS Description.

ObjectiveMobile phones are reliable devices for communication and entertainment. However, their utilization for prolonged periods in flexed neck position is linked to neck and shoulders pain. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the association between neck pain and the duration of device use, taking into consideration gender, age, and the most frequent position in which students use their devices.Subjects and methodsBased on a self-administered online questionnaire, we filled 500 questionnaires between February 15th, 2017 and March 18th, 2017. The study sample included healthy students from health care faculties regardless of their age, gender, or handedness.ResultsAnalysis of the predictors for pain severity showed that age (p = 0.04) and duration of use (p = 0.001) were significantly associated with the severity of neck pain, while only the duration of use was significantly associated with pain duration (p = 0.036). Subjects were divided into two groups according to the pain score, 75.8% had pain severity equal or less than 4/10 and 24.2% had pain severity more than 4/10. Of those with pain severity >4, 5.8% of students sought medical help at the emergency department and 12.4% visited clinics, compared to only 0.3% seeking medical advice at an emergency department and 4.2% visiting clinics in the group with pain severity of ≤4 (p4 used analgesia, compared to only 12.1% in subjects with pain severity of ≤4 (p< 0.001).ConclusionThis study demonstrates a significant positive correlation between the duration of mobile phone use and the duration and severity of neck pain. Furthermore, the increased severity of neck pain places a huge burden on the healthcare system.
