In the report, the analyst notes:
"THC's results of operations have been and continue to be influenced by industry-wide challenges, including fluctuating volumes, decreased demand for inpatient cardiac procedures, and high levels of bad debt, that have negatively affected its revenue growth and operating expenses. THC believes its future profitability will be achieved through volume growth, appropriate reimbursement levels, and cost control across its portfolio of hospitals. It also believes its results of operations for the most recent fiscal quarter best reflect the trends the Company is currently experiencing with respect to volumes, revenues and expenses.
"THC recently announced that 42 of its hospitals received 257 quality designations through CIGNA HealthCare. These quality designations are based on outcomes for treatment of 29 surgical procedures and medical conditions. The patient outcomes data are based partially on a hospital's Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Hospital Compare measures, Leapfrog Patient Safety Measures, mortality and complications rates."
