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

Tennessee Hospital Association quantifies $8.5 billion economic impact with IMPLAN

The Tennessee Hospital Association (THA) needed to quantify the specific economic impact of its member hospitals across the state of Tennessee. They turned to IMPLAN and its economic impact analysis service to move beyond assumptions and provide data-backed evidence of their role as economic engines.

Using IMPLAN, the THA analyzed its employment and payroll data to demonstrate its profound economic contribution. The solution revealed that the nearly $6 billion in annual payroll for almost 100,000 employees generates over $8.5 billion in total economic impact statewide. With this data from IMPLAN, the THA effectively advocated to legislators, showing the healthcare industry's significant value in creating jobs and supporting local supply chains across all 95 counties.
