Poverty May Increase Odds of Repeat Hospitalizations

Lisa Rapaport  |  September 16, 2015

(Reuters Health)—When patients are hospitalized more than once in the same month, it may have more to do with their income or education levels than the quality of care they received, a U.S. study suggests. Perhaps unsurprisingly, patients 85 and older are more likely to return to the hospital within 30 days of being sent…

Medicare Rule May Needlessly Extend Some Hospital Stays

Lisa Rapaport  |  August 5, 2015

(Reuters Health)—A decades old Medicare rule requiring a three-day hospital stay before patients can transfer to skilled nursing facilities may needlessly prolong hospitalizations, a study suggests. Researchers compared the average time patients were hospitalized between 2006 and 2010 in privately administered Medicare Advantage health plans that either stuck to this rule or allowed people to…

Infection & Hospitalization in SLE

Some Public Hospitals Win, Others Lose with Obamacare

Robin Respaut  |  July 25, 2015

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters)—A year and a half after the Affordable Care Act brought widespread reforms to the U.S. healthcare system, Chicago’s Cook County Health & Hospitals System has made its first profit in 180 years.

Bigger May Not Be Better for China’s ‘Super Hospitals’

Alexandra Harney  |  July 17, 2015

ZHENGZHOU, China (Reuters)—Just before midnight, the pavement outside the glowing high-rise towers of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University is littered with slumbering bodies.

Obamacare Ruling Ends Threat to U.S. Hospitals, Insurers

Caroline Humer & Bill Berkrot  |  June 27, 2015

NEW YORK (Reuters)—The U.S. hospital and health insurance industries breathed a collective sigh of relief on Thursday after the U.S. Supreme Court upheld subsidies for individuals under President Barack Obama’s signature healthcare law.
