Popis: My paper first considers the relationship between nonaccounting information and traditional hospital financial ratios. I found that nonaccounting information represents separate characteristics of hospital financial performance. Second, the link between factors produced in the first stage of the analysis and one dimension of hospital financial performance, creditworthiness, is assessed. Bond ratings are used as a proxy for creditworthiness. I found that nonaccounting information is highly significant in explaining bond ratings.
