Data showed hospital’s gross inpatient revenue was $92.7 billion higher than gross outpatient revenue in 2017. That compares to 2016, when hospitals’ gross inpatient revenue was $129.5 billion higher than gross outpatient revenue.
The American Hospital Association attributed the smaller divide to hospitals offering more outpatient services.
