2020 HFMA/Navigant, a Guidehouse Company, Corporate Services Trends Survey
Seventy-five percent of provider executives think their corporate services spending could decrease – 36% of them suggesting reductions of 10% or more – without negatively impacting quality or efficiency, according to a survey from HFMA and Navigant, a Guidehouse company.

“Revenue growth remains a constant challenge for hospitals and health systems due to such aspects as stagnant reimbursement and meager inpatient growth, prompting many providers to grow inorganically via M&A while targeting corporate services for meaningful cost reductions. This economic reality requires providers explore creative opportunities to simplify and streamline a complex organizational structure while consolidating, automating, and outsourcings functions to drive more efficient and effective corporate and shared services delivery.
