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.

On Surgical and Specialty Hospitals
Transparency and full disclosure to the public regarding provider fees, quality, and other information related to safety and medical errors, will significantly impact the future of the healthcare delivery market.
In this market milieu for example, surgical and specialty hospitals, which have a reputation for quality, convenience, lower error rates, and quick turnaround responsiveness to patient needs, pose an even more formidable competitive challenge to more established general acute care hospital provider systems in the healthcare marketplace.
