The Baker Tilly health care team understands the many unique issues that hospitals and health systems face in today’s market.

Eroding margins are a big part of the picture. Rising costs are not matched by Medicare payment schedules, increasingly used by other payers as their benchmarks. Outsourcing offers a tantalizing solution to staff shortages, but at what cost in oversight? Charitable giving is unpredictable, while the need for technology and facility upgrades is relentless. Add to that extensive, varying, and changing state and federal regulations, and it’s no wonder hospitals and health systems can barely deal with the present, let alone plan for the future.
