Largest U.S. hospitals
If you’re operating in the highly competitive healthcare landscape, U.S. hospitals are likely critical targets for your product or service. The largest hospitals often drive innovation and set industry standards and trends. A sales strategy that focuses on these facilities could not only help you win more business with high-profile hospitals, but also could have downstream benefits with smaller facilities and provider groups. To guide your healthcare sales and marketing strategy, we’ve pulled together a list of U.S. hospitals based on NPR and total bed count, two key metrics used in determining a hospital’s size and financial strength.
What are the largest hospitals in the U.S. by net patient revenue?
Net patient revenue (NPR) is a key financial metric that can be used to grade hospitals’ relative financial strength. A hospital’s net patient revenue is its aggregate money generated from patient services collected from payors. It is calculated by subtracting patient discounts from total patient revenues.
Using the Definitive Healthcare HospitalView product, we’ve generated a list of U.S. hospitals by net patient revenue. The data comes from the Medicare Cost Report and is listed according to the most recent 12-month interval tracked in our product.
