Creative Affiliations for Success in the New Era

Macro forces are changing the basis of competition in healthcare; therefore, most hospitals and health systems are closely evaluating their desired position and are currently involved in or actively exploring partnership opportunities. While much attention has focused on traditional healthcare mergers and acquisitions, different types of innovative partnerships have emerged in recent years. To meet the various requirements ahead, many providers are pursuing creative partnerships as a means to fill a gap in the capabilities, resources, expertise, or market position identified as critical for the organization’s future success.

Join us on Thursday, June 15 at 11 a.m. CDT (9 a.m. PDT) for this webinar and hear from Andre Maksimow, Senior Vice President with Kaufman Hall’s Strategic Partnership team, will lead a discussion of these partnership models and the key issues that health system leadership should be thinking about related to some of these creative partnerships and the steps they need to take to prepare their organizations to collaborate and compete in the future.

Some of the “next generation” partnership arrangements being pursued include:

• Collaboratives
• Management and Shared Services Agreements
  
• Joint Ventures
  
• Minority Investments
  
• “Transformative” vs. “Transactional” Mergers
