Defining the Optimal Path Forward and the Role Outside Organizations Can Play
Kaufman Hall serves as a strategic and financial advisor to hospital and health system leadership teams in pursuit of partnerships to drive growth. Our unparalleled experience ensures that partnerships are driven by solid strategic and financial principles.
We assist organizations in assessing their overall portfolio of services and locations to identify areas for targeted growth, partnership, or divestiture.
We help leadership assess multiple pathways and channels for growth, including independent market expansion; growth through partnership; and inorganic growth opportunities through acquisitions. We help leadership evaluate opportunities across the continuum of care, including primary care, diagnostics and testing, acute care, post-acute care, and payer partnerships.
We draw upon our strategic and financial planning expertise to model potential outcomes for various strategic options, helping leadership assess the opportunities to identify and implement the preferred direction for their organizations.
From supporting initial discussions between organization leaders exploring potential partnerships to developing the business case and structuring alternatives, we help ensure the long-term success of new partnerships.
We partner with private equity firms to evaluate potential healthcare investments and drive portfolio company growth.
