Healthcare Industry

Three paradigm shifts that materially affect value are underway in Health care:  Care is shifting from inpatient to ambulatory care; financing is shifting from fee-for-service to risk-based capitation; and ownership is shifting from community based non-profit corporations.  Each of these shifts involves a radical redefinition of what constitutes value within the health care industry.

The Financial Valuation Group consultants have the experience and expertise to help guide your organization through these constantly escalating waves of change.  Businesses formed in the 1980s in response to the initial phases of managed care may no longer represent value to the delivery system of the 21st century.  FVG consultants can assist you in determining whether your strategic and tactical initiatives of the last ten years will continue to create value in the next ten years.

Equally important, over the next five years your organization will most likely be involved in a number of managed care decisions that involve valuation issues.  These transactions may require medical practice, MSO/IPA or hospital valuations; expert testimony or a fairness opinion to meet legal or regulatory requirements.

As the industry consolidates further, your strategic initiatives must constantly seek to maximize value:  current assets must be performing up to their fullest potential and new assets must achieve an appropriate rate of return.  Assets that fail to perform in accordance with the institution's financial plan must either be sold or reconfigured to achieve the required rate of return.

There will be times when investments made with the best of intentions and planning do not achieve their expected value.  FVG consultants can assist you in realizing the highest and best return on your investment.
