Top 10 biggest health systems: 2013 magazine survey

Each year, the magazine Modern Healthcare conducts a survey of the health systems in the US and compares them on the basis of net patient revenue and, in a separate table, by number of acute care hospitals.  The annual story provides a listing of the largest health systems and a more granular breakdown by whether the systems are public, for-profit, Catholic, non-Catholic religious, or secular.  There is also a listing of health systems operating home health agencies, for those with the largest number of home health visits.  The story discusses the degree to which health systems are getting involved in accountable care organizations (ACOs).  More data can be purchased from the publisher.  Note that health systems that did not participate in the survey are not included in the results.

Largest health system in 2013 (regardless of ownership type):  HCA (whether measured by revenue or by number of acute care hospitals)
