Webinar: How NASHP’s Model Legislation Increases Health System Financial Transparency and Provides a First Step to Address High Hospital Costs

Hospitals account for the largest expenditure of US health care dollars, followed by physician and clinical services, half of which are owned by a hospital or health system. To address rising health care costs, policymakers and the public need detailed financial information to understand a hospital’s assets as well as its expenses and liabilities.

The recording and accompanying slides from this webinar offer an opportunity to learn about NASHP’s recently released model legislation and reporting template directly from state leaders with expertise in hospital finances. Listen to this webinar to learn:

  • Why hospital and health system financial transparency is an important first step, particularly with federal financial COVID-19 relief dollars allocated to health care systems and decreased utilization of non-emergency services.

2:30-3:30 p.m. (ET) Thursday, Nov. 12, 2020  

  • How NASHP’s model legislation and reporting template increases transparency.
