Rurals using new techniques to finance long-term care.
As the population of rural America ages, rural hospitals are seeing opportunities for new revenue in long-term care. To meet those needs, they are turning to tax-exempt revenue bonds, something they rarely used in the past, and private venture capital, an entirely new wrinkle.

Transcriptional regulation of hydrogenase synthesis by nickel in Bradyrhizobium japonicum.
Nickel is a component of the H2-oxidizing hydrogenase of many bacteria. We report that nickel is required not only for the activity of the Bradyrhizobium japonicum H2 uptake (hup) enzyme but also for the initiation of its transcription. A much greater level of hydrogenase-specific mRNA was detected in cells that were derepressed for hydrogenase in the presence of 5 microM nickel than in the absence of nickel. Control experiments involving probing of mRNA with a B. japonicum gene encoding a non-nickel-containing protein (delta-aminolevulinic acid synthetase) demonstrated that there was no influence by nickel levels on its message. Assays utilizing a plasmid-borne gene fusion linking the 5' upstream sequence of the hup locus to a promoterless beta-Gal structural gene demonstrated that an upstream region between -239 and -168 is critical for transcriptional regulation by nickel. Hydrogenase transcription is not self-regulated by the nickel-containing hydrogenase as the hydrogenase promoter was still regulated by nickel in a mutant strain containing a Tn5 insertion in the hup structural gene. This is the first report of transcriptional regulation of a protein by nickel.

Lack of standards hampers hospitals' attempts to size up fund-raising efficiency.
Though hospitals are depending more on charitable donations, there's no standardized method of determining the overhead of fund-raising activities. That makes it difficult to establish when and whether fund raising is worth the cost.

Deal nets hospital a 'free' medical building.
A developer is about to break ground on a $6.2 million medical office building on land owned by a California hospital. The deal will result in a haven for referral physicians at no cost to the hospital, though it will forgo equity and some management control.
Psychiatric hospitals softening tone and content of advertising messages.
Hospitals that offer chemical-dependency treatment are moving away from the grim messages of death that once characterized their marketing and advertising efforts. They're relying more on positive messages to persuade people to get help or motivate loved ones to step in.

Hospitals stretch to meet needs of young and old.
The two extremes of the population spectrum tend to need healthcare services the most, and hospitals face a shortage of resources in their attempts to serve both the very young and very old. The elderly have a political voice and the security of Medicare, but hospitals still strain to cover their costs. Policy attention is now focusing on the plight of uninsured children, but it hasn't translated into significant funding.
Reprieve ends; hospital margins slide in 1989 as costs climb, debt bill grows.
Hospital profitability dipped once again in 1989 after a one-year reprieve from a pattern of sinking margins that has developed since 1985, according to an annual study published by Deloitte & Touche and Health Care Investment Analysts.

Mental health programs seek religious following.
A handful of mental health treatment programs are building therapy around prayer sessions and Bible study in an attempt to attract mainstream Christians who otherwise would be wary about seeking treatment.
