Trinity Health Mid-Atlantic CEO Details Hospital Repositioning Amid HR 1 Pressure
In a Becker's Hospital Review interview, Trinity Health Mid-Atlantic regional president and CEO Andre Boyd describes nearly two years of integrating operations across six hospitals in Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland while preparing for financial pressure tied to federal legislation known as HR 1. Boyd says the system is "repositioning" services, such as reducing overnight OR hours at Nazareth Hospital and adjusting the cath lab at Saint Francis Hospital in Wilmington, where volumes no longer support prior staffing models. The organization cut its revenue cycle workforce by 10.5% in January, shifting nonpatient-facing functions to an outside partner, and plans to lean more on AI for coding and revenue cycle work. Boyd emphasizes growth in primary care and outpatient access alongside cost discipline, saying "you can't cut your way to success."
