Empresas hospitalares na região metropolitana de São Paulo - uma análise econômico-financeira

Abstract

The study attempts to highlight the financial performance of hospitais in the Greater São Paulo area, applying a cross-selectional financial analysis over a defined period for two sample groups divided by bed-size. The principalratios are different for the two groups but represent similar tendencies. 'The larger size hospitais (150-300 beds) fair better  than smaller size hospitais (less than 150 beds) in all business ratios. Both groups, however, increasingly suffer from the effects of chronic inflation and a regulated market.
