AI Summary
This bill aims to enhance transparency and efficiency in the hospital industry. It requires the Center for Health Information and Analysis (CHIA) to hold public hearings and issue reports when a hospital's operating margin exceeds 5% in a fiscal year. The bill also directs CHIA to examine hospital efficiency by publishing margins for different lines of business and using data from the Registered Provider Organization process to report on hospital cost structures. Additionally, the bill mandates academic medical centers to report information on the portion of their revenues and expenses dedicated to teaching and research, and CHIA to issue an annual report on the case-mix of hospitals and the relationship between case-mix and commercial reimbursements.
