The author explored the relation between focus centers in multihospital systems and net revenue. Research included related topics such as the multihospital system as a response to regulatory banning of specialty hospitals and the relations between the number of focus centers, median income, bed size, morbidity rates, net revenue, and patient days. To conduct the analysis, the author examined 20 randomly selected multihospital systems. The results of this study support the premise that focus centers contribute to greater net revenue for hospitals.
