title: Best practices in healthcare investing.
abstract: A recent study looked at investment performance among the nation's not-for-profit hospitals. For the year ending Dec.31, 2006, the average return on operating funds for organizations in the top decile of performance was 16.4 percent, compared with just 10.6 percent for all study participants. Asset allocation appeared to be a primary differentiating factor.
