Evaluate hospitals the way capital markets do — in 60 seconds.
The Hospital Financial Health Index (HFHI) and Quality Index (HPQI). Benchmark any U.S. hospital's DCF discount rate risks, EBITDA levers, and covenants against true structural peers.
Valuation-Informed Methodology
Most benchmarking tools answer "how does this hospital compare to average?" HealthVista answers "what would a buyer, lender, or rating agency conclude—and why?"
DCF & EBITDA Risk Scoring
Every metric maps to how hospital valuations are actually conducted. We convert liquidity stress, contract labor reliance, and Medicare concentration into measurable discount rate and multiple compression factors via the HFHI.
Structural Peer Architectures
A 2% margin means something completely different at a 20-bed Critical Access Hospital vs. a 400-bed Academic Medical Center. Benchmarks are automatically scaled to true structural peers.
Financial & Clinical Linkage
CMS payment penalties (VBP, HAC, Readmissions) create a direct financial consequence from quality outcomes. We track HCAC & HCAHPS alongside margins so you see the complete picture.
Non-Profit Form 990 Integration
Assess executive compensation, board structures, and exact program revenues of non-profits directly alongside their Medicare Cost Reports.
Pre-Sales Lead Origination
Designed for Consultants & PE: Filter 6,000+ facilities by specific financial distress signals (e.g. 'Operating Margin < -3% and dropping Quality'). Originate deals instantly.
From raw CMS filing to scored insight in seconds
We ingest thousands of pages of raw data per hospital, automatically applying capital market models directly over their filed CMS and IRS data.
Tri-Lingual Data Sources
We ingest CMS HCRIS Cost Reports, IRS Form 990 filings, and CMS Hospital Compare (HCAHPS) to establish the baseline.
Structural Pairing
Hospitals are automatically grouped alongside direct structural peers (size, state, location) for an apples-to-apples basis.
Index Scoring
Over 60 variables produce two indices: The HFHI (Financial Health) and HPQI (Quality Performance).
Trajectory Analysis
Scores are mapped year-over-year. Current position shows where a hospital is; trajectory proves where its valuation is going.
Built for capital markets & advisory
Private Equity & M&A
Screen hospital targets by explicit weakness. Flag structural cost disadvantages and Medicare concentration risks (+2% to your discount rate) before due diligence even begins.
"We use the labor cost and overhead scores as our first-pass EBITDA multiple filter."
Lenders & Credit Analysts
Assess hospital creditworthiness against the metrics you covenant: Operating margins, days cash on hand, debt-to-equity, A/R days, and Form 990 leverage risks.
"The peer-relative debt-to-equity tracking replaced an entire day of our underwriter’s manual prep work."
Healthcare Consultants
Run rapid assessments of turnaround clients or joint venture candidates. Hand clients a board-ready dashboard outlining exactly how much value they are bleeding vs peers.
"This tool is a lead-generation machine. I find distressed hospitals in 5 minutes and pitch them."

HFHI & HPQI Dimensions. One platform.
Margins, liquidity, and leverage. The exact data found in every lender covenant and bond rating.
Structural cost disadvantages. Cost-to-Revenue and Operating Expense ratios that drive multiple compression.
Contract labor reliance tracking. Heavy traveling nurse usage adds +0.5-1.5% to valuation discount rates.
Realization rates evaluating exactly what the hospital collects vs gross charges—its core cash conversion speed.
Hospitals > 60% Medicare face immense policy risk. A 1% rate cut equates to -0.45% to -1.05% valuation loss.
HCAHPS survey scores directly affect CMS value-based payment models. Linking satisfaction directly to financial risks.
Unpack Non-Profit structural costs, tracking executive compensation models and service revenue spreads.
Understand exactly which hospitals are likely to be slapped with 1% Medicare payment reductions.
