Abstract
Purpose: This policy brief updates a RUPRI Center brief published in 20141 and documents the continued growth in system affiliation by both metropolitan and non-metropolitan hospitals.
Key findings: (1) From 2007 to 2016, hospital system affiliation continued to increase across all categories of hospital size, metropolitan/non-metropolitan location, and Critical Access Hospital (CAH)status. (2) From 2007 to 2016, hospital system affiliation increased in all census regions except in the West census region among non-metropolitan hospitals.
