M&A Trends
Presentation
Title

M&A Trends
Which strategy is right for you?
Partnerships
• How does this partnership
help us offer care at the
lowest possible cost and
greatest convenience to
patients?
• How does this merger help
us leverage technology to
provide greater access to
care for our patients?
• Does this merger help us to
compete for contracts that
we might not otherwise
get?
• Does this merger help us
improve and increase our
patients access to services
overall?
Cost Containment/Process
Improvement
• Are our organizations costs
out of line?
• Do we already have a cost
containment strategy
implemented?
• Can we offer a centralized
staffing model?
• Do we know where our
employees are spending their
time?
• What is our aptitude for
technological improvements?
• Are there processes that we
can automate?
Service Line Assessment
• Do we know which service
lines are our high performers?
• For lower performing service
lines, is there opportunity for
consolidation with other
services or collaboration with
other providers?
• How will service line growth
impact the bottom line?
• What market factors are
affecting this service line and
what is the competitive
landscape?
• What would be the fallout if
we discontinued this service
line? Would the community
still be served?
