Impact of COVID-19 on Hospitals Working with partners at the state, DHHS and DPHS, hospitals have taken the following critical steps to ensure an effective, targeted response to COVID-19: Suspended elective & non-urgent procedures to stand up capacity for a potential surge of COVID-19 .. while ensuring a safe environment for staff, patients and communities Stood up Alternative Care Sites (ACS) around the state to increase bed capacity at hospitals for those .. patients who need more acute care Engaged in employee furloughs, redeployment and layoffs as a result of suspending elective & non- .. urgent procedures .. Invested in Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and other supplies required to safely treat all patients Set up additional sampling sites and expanded testing capacity across the state These actions, while absolutely the right things to do for patient and staff safety, have created significant financial challenges: By April 11 th hospitals experienced a 51% reduction in utilization (charges) Since March 20 th , hospitals have seen an average of 55% occupancy of inpatient beds (including surge capacity in-house) By May 31 st , hospitals statewide will realize an estimated $445 million in lost revenue These reductions cannot be absorbed by an industry with such small margins, and these losses are simply unsustainable.

COVID-19: Partnership to Recovery .. Without an infusion of financial resources, hospitals — both large and small — face the risk of running out of operating cash in the next several months. .. The financial consequences for hospitals, our patients, communities and New Hampshire’s health care system are potentially devastating. .. We will need significant financial relief to get through this crisis so that we can be there for our patients and communities. .. Relief from the Federal CARES Act has been helpful, but certainly has not been distributed evenly across the State and will not be enough to address the hundreds of millions of dollars in lost revenue that hospitals in New Hampshire will experience through the end of the calendar year and beyond. .. Hospitals have long partnered with the state, from Medicaid expansion and the Doorways, to community benefits and funding for the Governor’s Commission, just as we did to prepare for and .. respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. We will continue to do so to be there for our patients, communities and citizens of New Hampshire. .. We can get through this together, but we will need help to ensure our community hospitals are able to emerge from this crisis and be there when our patients and communities need us. Partnership to Recovery: We are in this together.
