ommunity hospitals in New York City hold a unique
position in this turbulent era. While community
hospitals are the hub of healthcare delivery in New York
City, competition has intensified among hospitals as well as
between hospitals and physician-owned facilities. Advances
in healthcare technology have enabled a large number of
complex procedures to take place in an outpatient service
setting. The primary purpose of this project was to investigate
the economic performance of community hospitals in New
York City that provided general and acute healthcare services
from 2001 to 2010. Given that years of chronic losses and
growing numbers of empty beds have caused the closure
of some hospitals, while other hospitals are on the brink of
collapse, the proposed project will measure the performance
of community hospitals in the city by focusing on the roles
and functions of hospital governance or governing boards. To
do an in-depth analysis of the relationship between hospital
governance and the productivity and performance of these
hospitals, this study will employ two general approaches:
hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) and Data Envelopment
Analyses (DEAs).
