Fierce Healthcare
A new analysis finds that hiring within the health sector moderated in August but spending growth slowed. Driving the low overall spending growth is hospital spending, which is at a historic low, according to an analysis of health economic indicators from Altarum’s Center for Sustainable Health Spending. Indeed, hospital spending, at a revised .8% June growth rate, is the lowest year-over-year monthly growth rate recorded in more than 25 years.
