Abstract:
Many not-for-profit (NFP) hospitals hold substantial cash reserves. Using a national sample of 608 NFP hospitals over the period 1996-1999, we related theories of cash holdings to NFP hospitals to develop a conceptual framework for understanding cash holdings. We tested whether these hospitals differentially managed operating and strategic cash with respect to establishing target balances and investigated motivations for holding cash. NFP hospitals actively targeted levels of operating cash, but did not target strategic cash balances. Strategic cash balances were positively related to profitability and growth in assets, but negatively associated with the use of debt.
