Own, Partner, or Contract?
Key considerations for hospitals and health systems regarding these options include the following:
- Financial results and/or ROI opportunity for existing operations
- Quality and management of existing regional post-acute care providers
- Excess or lack of capacity in specific modalities
- State of owned and regional post-acute care facilities
- Post-acute care provider openness to collaboration
- Health system skills and expertise in post-acute care
- Competing strategic and capital priorities
