Specialty Hospitals: Focused Factories or Cream Skimmers?
Date and Time: |
April 15, 2003 |
Location: |
Washington Court Hotel |
HCS is sponsoring a timely conference titled, "Specialty Hospitals: Focused Factories or Cream Skimmers?" The conference will examine the recent growth in the construction of specialty facilities focused on specific surgical procedures. HSC will release a new report examining the reasons behind this building boom and its implications for costs, quality and access to care.
The U.S. has a long tradition of some types of specialty hospitals (e.g., children's, rehabilitation, and eye and ear), but specialty hospitals focusing on cardiovascular and orthopedic procedures are relatively new and rapidly increasing in number.
