Read a brief overview of the role hospitals and health systems play in the vitality of the state’s healthcare continuum in CHA’s Connecticut Hospitals Today.
Connecticut Hospitals Today
Connecticut hospitals are dynamic, complex organizations working to build a healthier, stronger state, and their positive impact extends far beyond the essential medical care they provide. They are creating integrated care delivery networks with physicians, services, and technology to ensure patients receive high-quality, coordinated, cost-effective care. They are at the forefront of supporting innovative community-based efforts to address the root causes of poor health and health inequities — social influencers like housing and food insecurity, environmental risks, and financial insecurity caused by unemployment and educational needs. And they are economic engines, supporting hundreds of thousands of jobs and capital investments throughout the state.
Connecticut hospitals:
- Provide care for more than 336,000 admitted patients, accounting for more than 1.9 million days of inpatient care
- Treat more than 1.5 million patients in their emergency departments
- Provide nearly 10 million episodes of outpatient services to individuals
- Welcome more than 35,000 babies into the world
