The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From Health Affairs
Thursday, December 2, 2021
Dear John,
A paper in the November issue of Health Affairs examines some of the
impacts of private equity acquisition on hospitals.
Private Equity Acquisition Of Hospitals
In a November paper focused on the business of health, Marcelo Cerullo
and coauthors investigated changes in service-line provision
in private equity-acquired hospitals.
They determined that private equity acquisition of hospitals is
associated with a higher probability of adding profitable hospital-based
services, profitable technologies, and freestanding or satellite
emergency departments.
"The results show a relationship between private equity acquisition
and systematic changes in the central activity of hospitals: providing
care," the authors wrote.
They also found, "Private equity-acquired hospitals were less likely
to add or continue services that have unreliable revenue streams or that
may face competition from nonprofit hospitals."

Today on Health Affairs Blog, Rosanna Tarricone and James Robinson argue
that the US can draw lessons from Europe about health technology
assessment
.
