Hospital Statistics uses the latest data available, and this year includes utilization and financial data reflecting the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Hospitals experienced massive disruptions in 202021, with reductions in revenue due to deferred and delayed care, expenditures related to pandemic preparedness and response, supply chain issues, staffing shortages, and several major surges of COVID-19. At the same time, federal and state COVID-19 relief funding provided some much-needed assistance, though occasionally with future repayment requirements. Financial and utilization measures included are reported based on hospital fiscal year, and not all 2021 data reflect the same 12-month period for each hospital. This year’s edition of Hospital Statistics reflects a full year’s view of hospital operations during the COVID-19 pandemic, and year-over-year changes in measures should be interpreted with caution.

WORKFORCE CHALLENGES BEYOND RN STAFF

To maintain current Arkansas use patterns, the licensed practical nurse (LPN) workforce would need to grow by an additional 55 LPN full-time employees per year above anticipated status quo growth.

By 2035, there will be a shortfall of approximately 240 to 580 respiratory therapists to meet the projected demand.

Other specialties showing shortfalls include: • Physician assistants.

• Phlebotomists.

• Clinical laboratory technicians.

• Emergency medical technicians.

That resulted in total funds available to reinvest in new equipment, update facilities, expand programs and repay debt equalling:

For a return on investment totalling:

246,467,868

Hospitals also collected other types of revenue from sources including contributions, tax appropriations, and investments. Those amounted to:

6.99%

$688,019,418

Which raised total operating income to:

As a result, the “operating margin” rose to:

919,369,130

-2.59%

Yielding a “patient service” margin of:

In addition, hospitals also received revenues from normal, day-today operations from services other than health care provided to patients, such as COVID relief dollars, space rental, cafeteria and gift shop sales, and operating gains:

($52.80)

($231,349,712)

In other words, hospitals made (or lost) this much on each of the equivalent days of care they provided to inpatients and outpatients:

So the revenue excess (loss) was:

4,381,777

9,161,715,585

At the same time, hospitals spent this much providing patient care services…

…to patients needing care for this many adjusted patient days while being served.

8,930,365,873

$26,825,529,916

But patients and payer groups didn’t pay the full amount of billed charges for various reasons. Government programs like Medicare and Medicaid, workers’ comp programs and others never pay the full hospital bill. Managed care plans and other insurers typically pay discounted amounts only, and individual patietns often can’t afford to pay some or any of the out-of-pocket costs related to their hospital bills. For those reasons, hospitals had to forfeit this much of their billed charges:

As a result, actual payments to hospitals were:

$35,755,895,789

Hospitals charged this amount for the inpatient and outpatient care they provided in 2021:
