Dayton Area Hospital Healthcare Cost Report
Latest Release: August 2007
The Hospital Cost Council of Greater Dayton and the Greater Dayton Area Hospital Association (GDAHA) initiated a study to
assess and measure the cost of hospital healthcare in the Dayton area, also referred to as the Dayton Metropolitan
Statistical Area (MSA). The goal of the Hospital Cost Council is to obtain diverse community stakeholder consensus
on the hospital unit cost baseline through the comparison of these unit costs with our peer cities of Cincinnati,
Columbus, Toledo, Indianapolis and the United States median.
Two independent research firms were used to collect and analyze the data. The overall study and data gathering was conducted
by Cleverley & Associates and presented in a report titled Dayton Area Hospital Charge & Cost Indexes. To ensure
accuracy and objectivity, the Cleverley report was reviewed and audited by the firm of Jack C. Keane, Inc. and a final
review was presented to the Hospital Cost Council.
