"It's not the strongest species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the ones most responsive to change."
According to Levin and Associates, mergers and acquisitions in the healthcare industry totaled over $227 billion, an 11 percent increase over 2010 and the fourth-largest year of the past decade. Even more interesting, is that the value of healthcare services deals increased 43 percent while technology decreased 2 percent. Hospital systems are moving into new communities, integrated health systems are acquiring additional delivery system assets, managed care networks are growing, and specialty care service businesses are expanding their footprint -- to be well-positioned for survival in a post-reform world.
This is the type of data we shared with TripleTree's Health Executive Roundtable -- the investment bank's "think tank" comprising a diverse group of health industry executives with backgrounds ranging from banking, medical device, education and life sciences; to food services, technology, human capital management, and compliance.
We asked each Roundtable member: "What are the key trends that will emerge from this consolidation?"
Their independent and unique perspectives are published in:
Viewpoint: A Kaleidoscope of Insights Regarding Growth Opportunities amid Consolidation in the Healthcare Industry.

We value and respect the experiences of all of our HERWriters, but everyone is different. Many of our writers are speaking from personal experience, and what's worked for them may not work for you.
