20.500.12556/RUL-183253 From Wall Street to main street the financial-operational performance link in hospitals across geographies This study examines the relationship between hospital financial performance and operational efficiency. Using data from the American Hospital Association (AHA), we find that profitability, debt coverage, and working capital efficiency are positively associated with hospital efficiency, while liquidity and capital structure exhibit a negative correlation. Fixed-asset efficiency, however, shows no significant impact on hospital operational efficiency. Furthermore, we find that the operational efficiency of urban hospitals is, in general, more sensitive to financial performance than that of rural hospitals. These findings provide practical insights for healthcare administrators and policymakers aiming to enhance hospital operational efficiency and promote equitable care delivery. hospitals management business efficiency hospital operational efficiency hospital financial performance hospital location data envelopment analysis (DEA) bolnišnice management uspešnost poslovanja true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2026-06-09 13:57:59 2026-06-09 13:59:41 2026-06-10 04:11:02 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 Str. 108-126 iss. 2, article no. 3 Vol. 28 Jun. 2026 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2026-06-01 005.3 2335-4216 10.15458/2335-4216.1371 280278531 https://www.ebrjournal.net/home/vol28/iss2/3/ 1 768acf0b-63fa-11f1-9b0d-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=235197 From_Wall_Street_to_Main_Street__The_Financial_Operational_Perfor.pdf From_Wall_Street_to_Main_Street__The_Financial_Operational_Perfor.pdf 1 310422971637194FB625920A72DDBA06 bca24e5c6bfc3c25240abc74e3b8283b0ae3a63a098f5137e42c9422c5b7b18d a7a9e497-63fa-11f1-9b0d-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=235199 Ekonomska fakulteta Economic and business review 0 0 0
