-How do hospitals respond to negative changes in economic conditions?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hospitals often respond to negative economic conditions by reducing staff as a cost-saving measure, since labor is a significant expense. Other options like eliminating emergency department treatment or reducing Medicare-reimbursed procedures are not typical responses due to legal, ethical, and regulatory obligations. Increasing post-acute care is not directly related to immediate cost-saving strategies in response to economic downturns.
