TEMPE, Ariz., July 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Economic activity in the hospital subsector grew in June after one month of contraction preceded by 35 consecutive months of growth, say the nation’s hospital supply executives in the latest Hospital ISM® Report On Business®.

The report was issued today by Nancy LeMaster, MBA, Chair of the Institute for Supply Management® (ISM®) Hospital Business Survey Committee: “The Hospital PMI® registered 51.5 percent in June, a 2.4-percentage point increase from the May reading of 49.1 percent, indicating a return to growth after one month of contraction. The Business Activity Index increased compared to May. The New Orders Index returned to expansion territory, and the Employment Index continued to indicate contraction. The Case Mix Index was unchanged in June; the reading of 50 percent is down 3 percentage points compared to the May figure of 53 percent. The Days Payable Outstanding Index returned to expansion territory at 51.5 percent, up 5.5 percentage points from the 46 percent reported in May. The Technology Spend Index reading of 52 percent is an increase of 0.5 percentage point compared to the 51.5 percent recorded in May. The Touchless Orders Index reading of 51.5 percent is an increase of 1 percentage point compared to the May figure of 50.5 percent.”

LeMaster continues, “With increases in business activity and new orders, the Hospital PMI® returned to expansion territory. Business Survey Committee respondents commented on increased elective procedure volumes and revenue growth. However, they cautioned that those gains were offset by inflationary factors on labor and supply costs. The Prices: Supplies and Prices: Pharmaceuticals indexes have been in ‘increasing’ territory for 43 and 63 consecutive months, respectively. The resulting margin pressures have some organizations freezing some positions or laying off personnel. There continues to be a shortage of clinical personnel, and competition for experienced employees remains intense. The Supplier Deliveries Index set a record in June, with a fifth consecutive month in ‘faster’ territory. Despite this, panelists commented on continued back orders within segments of the medical device supply chain. They also commented that drug shortages were worse than supply shortages.”

About This Report

The information compiled in this report is for the month of June 2023.

The Hospital PMI® was developed in collaboration with the Association for Health Care Resource & Materials Management (AHRMM), an association for the health care supply chain profession, and a professional membership group of the American Hospital Association (AHA).

The data presented herein is obtained from a survey of hospital supply executives based on information they have collected within their respective organizations. ISM® makes no representation, other than that stated within this release, regarding the individual company data collection procedures. The data should be compared to all other economic data sources when used in decision-making.

Data and Method of Presentation

The Hospital ISM® Report On Business® is based on data compiled from hospital purchasing and supply executives nationwide. Survey responses reflect the change, if any, in the current month compared to the previous month. For each of the indicators measured (Business Activity, New Orders, Employment, Supplier Deliveries, Inventories, Prices, Prices: Pharmaceuticals, Prices: Supplies, Backlog of Orders, Imports, Inventory Sentiment, Case Mix, Days Payable Outstanding, Technology Spend, and Touchless Orders), this report shows the percentage reporting each response and the diffusion index. Responses represent raw data and are never changed. Beginning in January 2021, the Report On Business® staff and consultants are gathering market information to better validate the Exports Index. Exports Index data are still being collected.

The Hospital PMI® is a composite index computed from the following, equally weighted indexes: Business Activity, New Orders, Employment and Supplier Deliveries. Diffusion indexes have the properties of leading indicators and are convenient summary measures showing the prevailing direction of change and the scope of change. A Hospital PMI® index reading above 50 percent indicates that the hospital sub-sector is generally expanding; below 50 percent indicates that it is generally declining. For the sub-indexes, except Supplier Deliveries, an index reading above 50 percent indicates that the sub-index is generally expanding; below 50 percent indicates that it is generally contracting. A Supplier Deliveries Index above 50 percent indicates slower deliveries and below 50 percent indicates faster deliveries.

The Hospital ISM® Report On Business® survey is sent out to the Hospital Business Survey Committee respondents the first part of each month. Respondents are asked to ONLY report on U.S. operations for the current month. ISM® receives survey responses throughout most of any given month, with the majority of respondents generally waiting until late in the month to submit responses to give the most accurate picture of current business activity. ISM® then compiles the report for release on the fifth business day of the following month.
