Private Equity Impacts Workforce
In the January issue of Health Affairs, Joseph Dov Bruch and coauthors
estimate clinician composition changes in private equity (PE)-acquired
practice sites
<[link removed]>
across several medical specialties.
The authors examine clinician replacement ratio across PE-acquires and
non-PE-acquired practices, as well as practice-level changes in yearly
clinician counts before acquisition.
The findings indicate that there are higher clinician replacement ratios
at PE-acquired practice sites compared with non-PE-acquired sites across
specialties and clinician types.
This outcome may reflect private equity's selection of acquisition
targets to facilitate practice growth, which in turn requires more
clinicians, explain Bruch and coauthors.
While the authors conclude that the longer-term implications for
workforce size and composition at private equity-acquired practice
sites are unclear, they do note that there may be substantial
generational differences in how private equity is viewed by clinicians.
