Cohesive Healthcare Management and Consulting Services

By definition, critical access hospitals are often their communities’ sole healthcare provider, as they must be located more than a 35-mile drive from any hospital. These hospitals in mostly rural areas and with no more than 25 beds, often face financial and operational obstacles that their larger or urban counterparts never encounter. While they do have some advantages when compared with the typical acute-care hospital that help them stay afloat, like receiving cost-based reimbursement instead of reimbursement based on DRGs, often these hospitals are still at a disadvantage because of their size.
