Healthcare Reform Drives Physicians Towards M&A and Hospital Buyouts
The era of the independent doctor, running a quaint hometown practice as a small business, is coming to a screeching halt. About 2,910 physicians were involved in mergers or acquisitions last year -- nearly double the number in the previous year -- according to a new report from PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC). Mergers and buyouts among physician practices is already at record numbers this year, and expected to balloon as the new health reform law is implemented.
As more and more doctors join hospital groups the differences in buying patterns will put stress on existing supplier relationships. If you are distributor servicing a hospital now, you have the opportunity to expand you business with the influx of new doctors who will now be purchasing supplies within the hospital supply chain.
Are you poised to take advantage of this growth? - As doctor's start to use the hospital supply chain they will have to understand the changes in the supply chain model and very likely the products and usage will be very different for a doctors office.
The good news is that the MDS system will give you the tools to take advantage of this industry movement and build your own business..!!!
