Description
Summary:In an interview, Douglas A. Hastings, chair of the board of directors, Epstein Becker Green, discusses what to consider in determining whether to affiliate with another organization to improve access to capital, and the emerging trends in change-of-control and non-change-of-control transactions in today's healthcare environment. One consideration is the immediacy of the need for capital. If there is an immediate need for capital for either short-term survival or a costly project that can't wait, it may drive the organization toward a sale or merger, versus a longer-term strategy that would keep the organization independent but better position it in the marketplace for revenue sustainability or growth over time. More and more, today, parties that are sufficiently capitalized in the short run are looking for ways that they can joint-venture or collaborate with other strong organizations to better position for a population health environment. That said, Hastings is still seeing a solid number of change-of-control transactions, involving both not-for-profit and for-profit organizations.
