Prospective Payment System (PPS) impacts rural Kansas hospitals. Smallest hospitals may delay costs, using local taxes for short-term survival, indicating a long-term effect of PPS.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare financial management
  • Rural health economics
  • Hospital administration

Background:

  • Rural hospitals face unique financial challenges.
  • Prospective Payment System (PPS) implementation affects healthcare reimbursement.
  • Understanding financial viability is crucial for rural healthcare sustainability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the financial performance of Kansas hospitals under PPS.
  • To determine the impact of hospital bed size on financial viability.
  • To investigate the short-term and long-term effects of PPS on rural hospitals.

Main Methods:

  • Regression analysis of financial ratios.
  • Examination of hospital bed size and year as variables.
  • Analysis of revenue sources, including local property tax mill levies.

Main Results:

  • Hospital bed size is the strongest predictor of financial viability.
  • Smallest rural hospitals (fewer than 25 beds) show delayed PPS impact.
  • Evidence suggests short-term subsidization through non-operating revenue sources.

Conclusions:

  • Rural hospitals, especially smaller ones, may be deferring capital and long-term costs.
  • The financial effects of PPS on rural hospitals may manifest over the long term.
  • Local tax subsidies may be crucial for the short-term survival of the smallest rural facilities.
