Largest IDNs in Utah
Utah is the 21st smallest state in the U.S. by population. Its 3.4 million residents rely on 69 hospitals and healthcare facilities, many of which are part of a broader integrated delivery network (IDN) or health system.
Having a greater understanding of the IDNs in Utah can prove invaluable for your healthcare commercialization strategy. While there are many key metrics concerning IDNs, two key ones include their size (based on their number of affiliated hospitals) and financial strength (based on their net patient revenue). Targeting large health systems allows for greater distribution of a product or service, and IDNs with high NPRs may be looking to upgrade or expand their services.

Net patient revenue is the total amount of money generated from patient services after any deductions, including discounts and allowances, are removed. It is a common metric of an IDN’s financial strength because it shows which facilities have more cash coming in. From a marketing standpoint, NPR can indicate which IDNs have the means to expand their services or update their technology.
