Why Should Physicians Care about Hospital Mergers and Acquisitions?
Journal Title: Journal of Hospital & Medical Management - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) have long been part of the healthcare landscape. The purported goals include efficiency, better access, improved quality and lower cost leading to enhanced profitability [1]. The uncertainty in the healthcare environment and reimbursement has led health systems to pursue M&A to preserve their competitive position and to gain price leverage with insurers. For others, it may mean accessing population health expertise, health plans or association with a high profile health system.
