The Big Reset: A New Era in Service Line Rationalization
There’s not a health system in America over the last 18 months that hasn’t seen some combination of electives dry up, costs skyrocket and now stimulus money start to go away. With the economic crisis of Covid almost as bad as the virus itself, health systems are sharpening their pencils and taking a hard look at service line priorities. When is it best to consolidate service lines, shift to an entirely new setting (ie, OP or home) or eliminate services altogether?

M&A Outlook: Growth Opportunities in a Highly Regulated Market

Hospitals Without Walls
For 20 years, health systems have migrated care from IP to OP, including satellites, clinics and ASCs. Now the spotlight is on the home, including a new crop of care models focused on recovery, emergent- and acute-care delivery.
