In an increasingly competitive and financially constrained environment, health care leaders must identify and pursue growth opportunities that will improve their organizations’ strategic financial performance. Acquiring or merging with another organization frequently offers advantages that exceed those of other strategies.


Acquisitions can quickly and dramatically shift an organization’s position by offering the following:

  • Geographic/program/service expansion
  • Improved payor mix
  • Increased operational efficiencies
  • Enhanced capacity and efficiency of capital expenditures
  • Improved financial and credit position

 

However, partnership exploration and attainment can be exceedingly challenging on many different levels. Thoroughly examining the landscape is key to determining the best possible strategies for the future. Utilizing both a quantitative and qualitative approach, Kaufman Hall has assisted numerous organizations with the development of acquisition strategies. The assessment evaluates service area characteristics, operational metrics, and financial impacts of the universe of potential partnerships and prioritizes those organizations that have the greatest positive impact on your organization.
