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..!!!

This week some ideas on what makes your company different , is it a software toolset? who knows - read on to keep growing your business.  Hat tip to  Compliance Expert Health Wruble for the excellent content. Happy Friday..  Thinking Strawberries in the 21st Century -Heath Wruble As a C-level consultant and business owner, I was recently reminded of a public speaking course I took back in graduate school. One of our professors, Michael LLorenz was tasked with getting us prepared to make solid presentations in the real world. His public speaking course was essential for his students and one of the most important and practical courses we have taken. His wisdom helps his students to this day forge ahead in the business world and most of his students still keep in touch with him, which shows the impact he has had and still has on his students. Professor LLorenz would assign each of us a famous speech, have us read the speech, as a homework assignment and then stand up in fron...

Climbing the Second Mountain

“Life is a series of problems to be analyzed and addressed. How do we fix our failing schools? How do we reduce violence? These problem-centered questions are usually the wrong ones to ask. They focus on deficits, not gifts...  The better community-building conversations focus on possibilities, not problems.  They are questions such as,  What crossroads do we stand at right now?  What can we build together?  How can we improve our lives together?  What talents do we have here that haven’t been fully expressed ?” ― David Brooks, The Second Mountain: The Quest for a Moral Life   Hat tip to Paul Giobbi for the book recommendation.  One of the benefits of being a consultant is that you have a bit more time to look at the big picture. Many of the folks I speak with are struggling with semi retirement or just not being as active and are looking to do a little something to keep them engaged.   Through my newly minted AARP Membership (I am not...

  Always Innovate and Never Surrender -Heath Wruble   Business leaders with a game plan continually move forward, never sit still, and are constantly innovating, creating, and building. Jeff Bezos, Mark Cuban, and Warren Buffet charge forward and effectively lead their businesses to new heights. As a leader, you are charged with never giving up; if you fail, make the changes necessary to succeed, learn from your mistakes, pivot, regroup, and never surrender. I speak to business leaders every day and give this same advice, today it's free!   Do Not Rush   Sumner Redstone took over his father's drive-in movie business, called National Amusements Inc. He helped expand it, and slowly over time, he was able to build it into a massive movie theater business; it is said that Sumner Redstone coined the phrase “cineplex”. It took decades not years, for Redstone, to methodically build his business by continually innova...
