Capital Fueling Hospital Expansion Boom
Jeff Elliott for HealthLeaders Media, September 20, 2010
Hospitals must be on top of their game clinically by understanding their role in the community and sticking to their mission. Operationally, they must offer quality care as efficiently as possible, meaning that nothing is off the table, including reduction or reallocation of staff.
"Whether constructing a new facility or renovating an existing structure, your building can go a long way to helping you achieve these goals," Fincher says.

Seems strange for hospitals to expect employers to just continue paying for all this expansion. Hospitals certainly don't expect Medicare and Medicaid to help out even with a huge expansion in the Medicaid program. At some point employers will say enough is enough. There are plenty of facilities overseas providing first class care to meet demand.
