How One Hospital is Navigating Rising Inflation and Workforce Pressures

The financial stability of America's hospitals and health systems is at risk as the costs of caring continue to rise. According to a recent AHA report, the cost of drugs, supplies and labor has skyrocketed over the past few years, and that's been met with continued underpayments from government payers. In this podcast, the AHA's Bharath Krishnamurthy, director of Health Analytics and Policy, explores what this imbalance means for patient care with Dr. Anthony Coleman, President and Chief executive officer of Broadlawns Medical Center in Iowa. This podcast was recorded at the 2023 American Hospital Association's annual membership meeting in Washington, D.C.
