To identify factors influencing the establishment and effectiveness of these foundations.

Main Methods:

Review of legal and organizational frameworks for hospital conversions.
Analysis of factors influencing foundation establishment, mission, revenue use, governance, and evaluation.

Main Results:

A low rate of hospital conversion foundation establishment (less than 21%) among 525 converting hospitals.
Considerable public monetary losses due to the lack of established foundations.
Identification of critical issues in fair value assessment, mission definition, revenue allocation, governance structures, and performance evaluation.

Conclusions:

The establishment of hospital conversion foundations is crucial for preserving charitable assets during nonprofit hospital conversions.
Addressing legal and organizational challenges is vital to ensure fair value, appropriate mission alignment, and effective governance.
