New Report Examines Specialty (Except Psychiatric and Substance Abuse) Hospitals in the US

Posted on: Friday, 21 December 2007, 12:00 CST

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c78111) has announced the addition of Specialty (except Psychiatric and Substance Abuse) Hospitals in the US to their offering.

This industry consists of establishments known and licensed as specialty hospitals primarily engaged in providing diagnostic and medical treatment to inpatients with a specific type of disease or medical condition (except psychiatric or substance abuse). Hospitals providing long-term care for the chronically ill and hospitals providing rehabilitation, restorative, and adjustive services to physically challenged or disabled people are included in this industry. These establishments maintain inpatient beds and provide patients with food services that meet their nutritional requirements. They have an organized staff of physicians and other medical staff to provide patient care services. These hospitals may provide other services, such as outpatient services, diagnostic X-ray services, clinical laboratory services, operating room services, physical therapy services, educational and vocational services, and psychological and social work services. This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are three year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.

Life Cycle Turns Demand

The demand for services provided by this industry depends greatly on the population of women in the child bearing age group and the elderly. The average age of the population is ageing and this is positively affecting demand. Also birth growth rates continue to increase, as does the number of premature births, attributed to a rise in the average age of new mothers, and possibly to an increase of chemicals in the environment.
