title: Net patient revenues lag behind increases in expenses.
abstract: Total net patient revenues for the nation's hospitals lagged behind increases in expenses during the first nine months of 1990, according to data from the American Hospital Association's National Hospital Panel Survey. And hospitals in some regions, particularly in the Northeast, saw more troubling performance than others. Meanwhile, the number of inpatient days dropped 1.1 percent during the same period.
