The outlook for the healthcare industry remains challenging thanks in part to uncertainty over the upcoming presidential election and the continued changes ushered in by the Affordable Care Act (ACA). However, despite the uncertainty and rapid changes across healthcare, private equity investors are still attracted to many real opportunities.
These are some of the observations presented by William Douglass, Group Head and Managing Director, CIT Healthcare Finance, a division of CIT Group Inc. (NYSE:CIT), cit.com, a leading provider of commercial lending and leasing services, in “Affordable Care Act Drives Changes in Healthcare Market”, the latest piece of market intelligence in the CIT Executive Insights video series.
“‘Fee for value’ has been a popular buzzword for many years, but is starting to become reality,” said Douglass. “It is imperative for the long-term success of all providers to understand these changes and adjust their business models accordingly. These industry-wide changes driving healthcare are resulting in consolidation of highly fragmented sectors, particularly within post-acute care.”
