National Overview of Nonprofit Hospitals’ Community Benefit Programs to Address Housing
BACKGROUND: Housing is a critical social determinant of health that can be addressed through hospital-supported community benefit programming. OBJECTIVES: To explore the prevalence of hospital-based programs that address housing-related needs, categorize the specific actions taken to address housing, and determine organizational and community-level factors associated with investing in housing. RESEARCH DESIGN: This retrospective, cross-sectional …
Efforts by critical access hospitals to increase health equity through greater engagement with social determinants of health
PURPOSE: Greater health care engagement with social determinants of health (SDOH) is critical to improving health equity. However, no national studies have compared programs to address patient social needs among critical access hospitals (CAHs), which are lifelines for rural communities. CAHs generally have fewer resources and receive governmental support to maintain operations. This study considers the extent to which CAHs engage in community he…
Alzheimer’s Centers in US Hospitals
Objectives: To investigate the availability of Alzheimer's Centers (ACs) in US hospitals. Methods: Utilizing the American Hospital Association Annual Survey, Area Health Resource File, and US Census ( n = 3251), we employed multivariable logistic regression to examine hospital, county, and regional predictors of AC availability. Results: Large hospitals (>399 beds) had approximately 14 times higher odds of having an AC than small hospitals ( Disc…
Leveraging Community-Driven Anchor Activities Among US For-Profit Hospitals
Hospitals have the ability to serve as anchor institutions that not only provide clinical care but make important community investments through employment, and outreach, and engagement efforts that address the social determinants of health. In doing so, hospitals may partner with community members and community-based organizations, but the extent to which local residents participate in directing local investments varies across organizations. This…
Programs to address substance use in U.S. children’s hospitals
Population health partnerships and social capital
Social capital refers to the social norms and networks that build trust and enable individuals to pursue shared objectives; it can vary considerably between communities and across time. Considerable evidence suggests that the presence of social capital at the local or state level is associated with improved individual health and lower community-level mortality, chronic illness, and diseases of despair such as substance abuse. Social capital may i…
Hospital Community Benefit in Rural Appalachia
Non-profit hospitals are important anchors in Appalachian communities, in part because of the concentration of health care dollars within these institutions. Community benefit efforts of these hospitals, therefore, have the potential to fill gaps in public health and social service provision in underserved areas with documented health disparities and access barriers. To date, however, we do not fully understand how community benefit practices var…
Are Children's Hospitals Unique in the Community Benefits They Provide? Exploring Decisions to Prioritize Community Health Needs Among U.S. Children's and General Hospitals
The Affordable Care Act expanded community benefit requirements for nonprofit hospitals, which now must demonstrate that they take into account the needs of their surrounding community in deciding where to make community benefit investments. No study to date has assessed the Community Health Needs Assessments (CHNAs) of a large sample of nonprofit hospitals to understand how hospitals determine the priority health needs that they include for thei…
Patient Characteristics Affect Discharge Status for Opioid-related Infective Endocarditis
BACKGROUND: Opioid overdoses have increased dramatically in the last 20 years, but secondary complications, such as infective endocarditis (IE) are also on the rise. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to understand the effect that opioid-related IE has on hospitals across the US and to understand the disposition of patients after treatment for IE, particularly in regard to insurance status and type. RESEARCH DESIGN: Secondary data analysi…
Hospital Administration as a Profession
Many benefits accrue to an occupation that is described as a “profession,” including the ability to influence public debate, such as the current one over health policy in the United States. The label of profession frequently enhances the status, prestige, power, and legitimacy of an occupation, which usually translates into additional resources and power. This article examines the current status of the occupation—hospital administration—with resp…
