The 2007 edition was released January 2008, and uses 2001-2005 cost report data.

The in-depth data in The Sourcebook make it suitable for a variety of applications including:

• Evaluating industry trends
• Comparing facilities' financial health
• Planning strategies for a strong financial future
• Appraising mergers and acquisitions
• Initiating bonds for building and/or remodeling

All data are presented in a comparative format for ease of use.

For each of the nearly 60 performance measures, The Sourcebook provides:

• A definition
• A graphic of the five-year trend for all U.S. hospitals
• Five years of quartile (25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles) data for 157 hospital comparison groups

Two more data sections provide further details:

• "Select Performance Measure Medians for Peer Groups within Census Divisions" provides two years of medians for 20 performance measures—giving more specific regional data by breaking the data down by peer group within each U.S. Census division.
• "Hospital Performance Measures for All Hospitals, States, and Census Divisions" provides one page of data for the nation as a whole, and for 64 additional comparison groups: every state and the District of Columbia, the nine Census divisions, and three specialty hospital groups: psychiatric, rehabilitation, and children's. Data are quartile values, for five years, for all 60 performance measures.
