Hospitals Balance Budget Pressures Amid Low Utilization
Warren Memorial Hospital cut 40 beds to a nursing home due to low census with an average daily rate around 64 percent. Other area hospitals ranged from 67 to 77 percent utilization as physicians favor preventive care and outpatient services. Blankenbeckler cites higher costs, physician avoidance of hospitalization, and expanded Utilization Review oversight as key factors. Emergency access and more on site specialists help reduce length of stay, while patients still seek care in larger regions for certain treatments.
