From the author: The results of this study, like the results of previous studies, are mixed. They indicate that there are no major differences between FP and NP hospitals in the types of patients treated and the length of time it takes to release a patient. However, the results also indicate that NP hospitals utilize outpatient treatment much more than FPs. The results show that non-profit hospitals are good at managing their cash flows by generating cash quicker than they spend it. FP hospitals spend money quicker than they acquire it which puts them in a potential negative cash flow position. This is a significant finding that has implications for FP hospitals. Ownership form does appear to have a substantial impact on the operations of a hospital, but one form does not appear to be superior to the other, based on the variables examined.
