Healthcare
Prognosis: Change
Healthcare is an ever-evolving industry. Constant shifts are the norm, as the sector continues to experience regulatory uncertainty, payer/provider convergence, and an increased focus on transparency. These shifts have contributed to, and sit alongside, a new driver of healthcare transformation: consumer behavior. Patients are becoming active consumers who wish to ‘purchase’ treatment as they would retail goods. They seek pricing transparency, provider reviews, and a better experience (all while the industry continues to seek a better bottom-line).
The market forces driving change, consumerization and cost control, are driving another equally important trend: consolidation. It is the ongoing consolidation of a fragmented industry that sits at the intersection of healthcare and private equity, driving increased investment activity in the sector.
