Financial Data
As a source for health care information, NMHA, in its advocacy efforts provides detailed financial data reports to represent member hospitals and health care systems at local, state and national levels covering: Reimbursement, Reporting to the Public and Consumers, and Data Analysis for Advocacy and Member Resources.

- Determine the "real time" financial impact of federal health policy.
- Provide "real-time" information on legislative changes that affect hospital and health system operations.
- Determine the impact of a new Medicare payment system on an individual facility; comparing the impact of proposed Medicare payment changes within a system, state, or Congressional district.
- Project and forecast an individual hospital's Medicare revenues.
- Analyze actual vs. expected patient outcomes and examine these outcomes for improvement opportunities.
- Monitor national, regional and peer group trends for key clinical performance indicators.
