Case Study: Tennessee Hospital Association quantifies healthcare’s statewide economic impact with IMPLAN

How the Tennessee Hospital Association Quantified the Economic Impact of Healthcare in the Volunteer State

The Tennessee Hospital Association (THA) needed to quantify the statewide economic impact of its member hospitals to bolster its advocacy efforts. To achieve this, THA turned to the vendor IMPLAN and its economic modeling application and data.

Using IMPLAN, the association analyzed its payroll and employment figures. The solution revealed that THA's nearly $6 billion in annual payroll generates over $8.5 billion in total economic impact for Tennessee. This data allowed the THA to demonstrate to legislators that hospitals are a major economic driving force, providing powerful, district-specific advocacy material.
