Responding To Challenges Posed By Private Equity
Private equity (PE) ownership in health care is increasing. Between 2010 and 2020, private equity deals in health care increased from 352 to 937.
In the May issue of Health Affairs, Christopher Cai of Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Zirui Song of Harvard University provide an overview of the regulatory policy landscape ([link removed] ) for PE acquisitions in health care.
They outline four domains for policy strengthening, and recommend that policy makers:
- lower reporting thresholds,
- increase the longer-run transparency of PE ownership,
- sstablish minimum staffing ratios and spending floors, and
- limit the amount of debt used to finance PE acquisitions.
For more on this paper, next week's episode of A Health Podyssey ([link removed] ) will feature author Christopher Cai exploring the overview of this policy landscape.
