To produce the findings, McKinsey surveyed leaders from 100 large, private-sector hospitals that have more than 200 beds. Collectively, they represent 10 percent of all hospital beds in the country.
Here are the key findings:
- On average, hospitals reported inpatient admissions to have returned to 2019 levels.
- Southern and Western hospitals predict the largest inpatient admission increase for 2022, at 6 percent and 5 percent respectively. The average prediction for inpatient increase across all hospitals was 4 percent.
- The hospitals expect a 7 percent increase in operating room procedures by 2023 and a 6 percent increase in emergency department admissions.
- Around 55 percent of respondents reported that access to specialty care is worse now than in 2019.
- More than 40 percent of hospital leaders expect demand to outstrip capacity in both orthopedic surgery and psychiatry.
- Workforce shortages and inpatient bed availability were cited as the largest challenges to increasing elective volume.
