Healthcare Roundtable Series
Mergers, acquisitions and affiliations continue to be top of mind for many healthcare leaders, driven by several factors, including uncertainty around healthcare reform, discussions around changes in payment structures, the need to implement IT systems, and the importance of scale and leverage.
Healthcare leaders at organizations of all sizes face continued pressure to improve efficiency and outcomes while also improving their organization’s bottom line. As a result, many independent community hospitals are exploring whether to move into other - arrangements such as a full merger or joining a network. At the same time, local, regional and national systems are trying to determine their ideal scale to maximize efficiencies, leverage assets and develop a sustainable model for the future.
During this day-long roundtable, we will profile successful mergers / affiliation case studies, learn the perspective of a large system as to why they look to align with additional community hospitals, and discuss strategies to strengthen your organization.
