Jack Lynch III, CEO of Main Line Health, a five-hospital, suburban Philadelphia-based system, says future bed demand is difficult to predict, according to an article on the Hospital and Health Networks website.
"For us, one of the most important things was to try to get a handle on what the bed demand was going to be a year from now, three years from now and potentially 10 years from now."
Lynch said the trend lines we’ve been experiencing in the past are going to be the same for the next 10 years.
He believes the pressures to reduce the need for inpatient admission are going to outstrip the demand for increased beds.
