Understanding Hospital Types
By Calvin W. Wiese; MBA, CPA
According to Healthcare Organizations [Financial Management Strategies], a specialty hospital is a type of healthcare organization with limited focus to provide treatment for only certain illnesses, such as cardiac care, orthopedic or plastic surgery, elder care, radiology/oncology services, neurological care, or pain management cases www.HealthcareFinancials.com
Physician-Investor Owned
These organizations are often owned by physicians who refer patients to them. In recent years, single-specialty hospitals have emerged in various locations in the United States. Instead of offering a full-range of inpatient services, these hospitals focus on providing services relating to a single medical specialty or cluster of specialties.
