Nonprofit hospitals focus borrowing on IT, not bricks and mortar

 

Not-for-profit hospital cut back on their borrowing by bonds last year as they focused more borrowing on upgrading information technology and less on brick and mortar building projects. Given the speed with which IT changes and the move from fewer inpatient beds to  more outpatient services, this would seen to make sense.
