M&A Landscape
Mergers and acquisitions face more scrutiny and criticism than ever before. Research conducted to date indicates consolidation of health systems leads to higher prices and lower quality, and that data is frequently revisited in media coverage on the topic. Furthermore, the Biden administration signed an executive order in July 2021 calling for stronger regulation of organizational consolidation, particularly in the healthcare industry.
More than ever, health systems considering M&A activity need to be prepared from day one to advocate for, and if necessary, defend the deal by clearly communicating the benefits and how it will lead to long-term advantages for patients and the community. The value of your transaction is clear to you and your partners – but is it clear to your stakeholders?
Navigating consolidation risks, includes:
- Telling the value story early and often.
- Examining the merger or acquisition through the lens of a critic and preparing to address their potential concerns.
- Assuaging the concerns of internal and external stakeholders who may be averse to consolidation.
