Financial performance stabilized for many healthcare organizations throughout 2024, and healthcare leaders are cautiously optimistic they’ll retain those financial gains in 2025. ​Our annual survey of healthcare finance professionals found that more than two in five (44%) said they expect operating margins will remain about the same from 2024 to 2025, while over a third (36%) expect operating margins will increase. 

Healthcare leaders said their biggest concerns for 2025 center on maintaining their hard-won financial stability, including: 

  • Margin management 

  • Labor expenses

  • Payor rates and negotiations
