Will Mergers and Acquisitions Improve the Healthcare Supply Chain?
Abstract
Mergers and acquisitions (M&As) have become one of the better tools that hospitals use to increase patient access, quality of care, and manage risk and financial pressures. Partnerships, mergers, and acquisitions enable hospitals to expand service offerings, expand networks and access to specialists, improve quality, and better serve patients where they live. They provide growth to help reduce costs associated with obtaining medical services and supplies or prescription drugs, and enable health systems to reduce other operational expenses.
