Hospitals battle heart attacks with new chest pain centers.

Chest pain emergency centers are among the most popular new ambulatory care services being added in U.S. hospitals. In the past year, at least 80 hospitals have added such facilities, bringing the total to about 103 in 33 states, according to the Maryland cardiologist who pioneered the concept. Still, it remains to be seen whether these facilities will become a reliable long-term source of increased admissions.

Technology acquisition: trends in imaging.

A great deal has happened in the imaging area this year. Our imaging special report examines changes in the field: from hospitals' new negotiating tactics to the impact of the new Medicare capital payment regulation. In an in-depth report, we examine new trends developing in hospitals' and hospital groups' contracting for imaging equipment purchasing. Then we take a look at how hospitals' technology acquisition strategies--and vendors' research and development plans--are being remolded by the new capital regulation. Finally, we revisit the capital fold-in regulation itself.

In addition, we take a look at the Roanoke and Rockford cases, and what the hospitals involved are doing today.

CFOs: cost-shift pressures will spur health care policy reform.

Hospitals are "on the verge of self-destruction" because they are finding it more difficult to shift costs to those few payers who pay full charges, say CFOs. In fact, the inability to continue shifting costs will lead to national health care reform, say members of a panel of CFOs hosted by Hospitals.

Looking abroad for changes to the U.S. health care system.

With the U.S. health care system in crisis, policy-makers and analysts in this country are looking seriously at foreign systems for clues to how to restructure our own. And those experts are turning away from the centrally controlled Canadian and British health care systems as models for our own, and looking toward systems such as Germany's and Australia's, which offer greater choice and more diverse health care markets.
