The 12-hospital system also generated $11.9 billion in revenue for the year. The system had a 36 percent higher economic impact in the area than the last time the study was conducted in 2018, according to the San Antonio Report.

The report found that the health system brought in $120.8 million in revenue for the state, mostly through sales tax. 

“So one of the surprising things to me [in the study] was that the numbers came out as high as they did, given the COVID-19 situation and the anomalies it presented,” San Antonio Medical Foundation President Jim Reed told the Report.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
