Dive Brief:
- Operating revenues at Boston-based Partners HealthCare increased 7% from the previous year to $12.5 billion, but $12.6 billion in operating expenses canceled out those gains, according to the health system’s financial statements.
- The operating loss is the largest posted in the system’s 22-years of history, which has struggled financially since it acquired Neighborhood Health Plan in 2012, a Medicaid managed care subsidiary that had a $89-million operating loss two years ago.
- A nursing strike and implementation of a new EHR system also contributed to poor financial performance at Partners in fiscal year 2016, according to the Boston Herald.
