    Area of Science:

    • Healthcare Management
    • Health Services Research

    Background:

    • Hospitals face increasing pressure to control healthcare costs.
    • Understanding the scope and drivers of shared services is crucial for efficient healthcare delivery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the extent of shared administrative and clinical programs in hospitals.
    • To identify participating institutions and the most frequently shared services.
    • To understand the primary motivations behind hospital service sharing.

    Main Methods:

    • A questionnaire was mailed to 1,731 short-term, acute care general hospitals across nine U.S. census regions.
    • The study aimed for representation across hospitals with diverse characteristics and locations.
    • Responses were analyzed to identify trends in shared service utilization.

    Main Results:

    • Not-for-profit hospitals lead in shared service adoption.
    • Approximately 90% of hospitals with 200-499 beds utilize shared services.
    • Purchasing, data processing, and insurance programs were the most frequently shared services.
    • Administrative services are shared more often than clinical services.

    Conclusions:

    • Cost containment is the primary driver for hospitals sharing services.
    • Increased sharing of clinical services is predicted due to cost pressures.
    • Shared services reduce unit costs effectively only when providers have excess capacity.
