Answer 2

Answer:

During the past decade, the rapid growth of specialized hospitals that focused on profitability in service lines such as in the Orthopaedic and cardiac centres has led to increasing concerns for the general hospitals in their ability to compete in terms of profitability.

Critics review that the speciality hospitals are responsible for drawing more-profitable and less-complicated patients with private insurance and Medicare away from the general hospitals. This threatens the ability of the general hospitals to cross-subsidize services that are less profitable and provide uncompensated care. There has been little evidence whether speciality hospitals have actually affected the financial viability of general hospitals or their ability to care for patients who have a low-incomes or are uninsured. In spite of the initial challenges that were faced during the recruitment of staff and maintenance of service volumes or patient referrals, general hospitals were initially able to respond to the entry of speciality hospitals.
