The August issue of Becker’s Hospital Review features our annual round-up of the largest and top-grossing hospitals in America, organized into nonprofit and for-profit categories. The issue also includes a list of the largest nonprofit and for-profit health systems in America, a list that always seems to be changing given the active healthcare merger and acquisition market.
Inside this issue you’ll also find a great feature article on the efficacy of the Da Vinci robot, a costly piece of equipment that is often a must-have for physician recruitment despite the lack of agreement around its ability to improve outcomes across several procedures. The issue also features the article “10 Things the Most Progressive Hospitals Do,” which explores some of the things beyond patient care a handful of forward-thinking hospitals across the country are pursuing in order to adapt their business models to the pressures of healthcare reform.
