For the first time in 35 years, U.S. hospitals delivered fewer outpatient visits in 2018 than in the prior year as the competition to provide such care continues to intensify. 

The American Hospital Association’s newly released 2020 Hospital Statistics report shows the 6,146 hospitals in the U.S. delivered a cumulative 879.6 million outpatient visits in 2018, 0.9% less than in 2017, when they delivered 880.5 million outpatient visits. The data, which covers health system-owned ambulatory surgery centers, outpatient clinics and urgent care clinics, is the first year-over-year decline since 1983, and comes even as health systems work to expand their outpatient offerings beyond hospital campuses.
