摘要：
Hospital conversions to for-profit ownership have prompted concern a bout continuing access to ca re for the poor or uninsured. Th is DataWatch presents an analysis of the rate of uncompensated care provided by Florida hospitals before and after converting ts for-profit ownership. Uncompensated care declined greatly in the converting public hospitals, which had a significant commitment to uncompensated care before conversion. Among converting nonprofit hospitals, uncompensated care levels were low before conversion and did not change following conversion. The study suggests that policymakers should assess the risk entailed in a conversion by considering the hospital's historic mission and its current role in the community.
