Thinking Beyond the Practice Acquisition

In recent years, there has been a major increase in physician practice acquisitions by hospitals and health systems. Regardless of whether an organization is embarking upon its first acquisition or has been acquiring practices for years, completing a successful acquisition can be a major challenge. Organizations need to engage in a rigorous, consistent, well-thought-out feasibility assessment and implementation process to increase the potential for a successful outcome. Furthermore, organizations need to thoughtfully plan how the resulting physician enterprise will be structured and managed. Without careful planning and implementation, the acquiring organization may end up with a combination of acquired practices that function largely independently and that, in aggregate, are barely manageable and highly unprofitable. This Webinar addresses key considerations in achieving a successful acquisition and transitioning to a sustainable model for the physician enterprise.
