, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented on the third quarter results. "We are continuing to build operational momentum in a number of key areas. First, our hospital team completed a successful transition to the new Medicare prospective payment system that began on September 1. While early in the transition, we reduced average length of stay and reimbursement rates were in line with our expectations. In addition, average hospital wage rates in the quarter were flat with a year ago as a result of reduced agency utilization utilization,
