Legacy Thread

Industry...VA In Houston utilizes about a third if their beds too. Healthcare is undergoing a fundamental change...evidence-based practice mandated, value-based purchasing, tighter regulatory requirements with smaller staff and sicker inpatients. Northern hospitals in major medical center areas are farther along in the transition, but everyone is going through financial trauma that accepts Medicare and Medicaid. Hospital systems who do not accept government monies can be more nimble and are less constrained by regulatory requirements. What Medicare and Medicaid do though is soon followed by insurance. The future is murky.
