This work product is a high-level, public overview of select indicators from the results of the July 2020–June 2021 US Cooperative for International Patient Programs (USCIPP) Annual Survey of International Programs in the US.

USCIPP—an organizational membership program of the National Center for Healthcare Leadership—is a consortium of more than 60 American hospitals and health systems that share a focus on providing care to international patients, offering cross-border education and training programs, providing management and consulting services to hospitals and governments abroad, and offering various other forms of international collaboration in healthcare.

USCIPP's July 2020–June 2021 survey of international programs in the US surveyed 60 member hospitals and health systems with established international programs. This survey collected information about services offered, financial metrics, operational metrics, and patient volumes. Additionally, the survey results provided insights into international program structures and geographic regions of home residence for patients traveling to the US for care.

Recognizing these 60 members represent most, but not all, US hospital and health systems with established international health programs, this benchmarking survey is best considered as a lower bound for the actual size of the US market.

The goal of this survey is to allow respondents to benchmark their international program operations against those at peer institutions through the data and insights provided by USCIPP. Due to the diverse group of member organizations, USCIPP's survey is also able to distinguish pediatric versus adult services, which permits even stronger benchmarking capabilities.
