This brief is a follow-up to the 2021 NC Rural Health Research Program’s brief, Small Rural Hospitals with Low Volume ED that May Convert to a Rural Emergency Hospital. The new brief, Characteristics of Rural Hospitals Eligible for Conversion to Rural Emergency Hospitals and Three Rural Hospitals Considering Conversion, presents updated data for REH-eligible hospitals, compares several financial and operational measures of three rural hospitals that are on public record as having expressed interest in REH conversion to the all REH-eligible hospitals, and discusses what factors may ultimately determine the number of rural hospitals that convert to REH. Publishing more recent financial information for REH-eligible hospitals provides comparative information for hospitals considering conversion to REH, and the data for the three rural hospitals that expressed interest in conversion provide some real-life examples of hospitals that might convert to REH.
