Abstract
Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs) are struggling, and waiting for government assistance is not the solution. To strengthen its hospitals, forward-thinking leaders must be aware of the necessity to increase their operating efficiencies. Organizations focusing on improving their net operating income will find opportunities for profitability and growth, despite significant financial headwinds. CAHs play a vital role in serving America’s rural communities; therefore, they must overcome the challenges faced through the implementation of performance improvement initiatives.
