1. Long-term care facilities- will feel the brunt of Medicare
reimbursement cuts so they will make up a sizable portion of the consolidation
trend
2. Retail clinics will take center stage in M&A deals: The
interest in retail clinics will increase, insured patients with high
deductibles look for cheaper options than visiting a doctor’s office
3. Physician practices with a cardiology or dermatology
specialty: will be the most sought after for M&A deals in this area
4. Diversify, diversify, diversify: Hospitals are experiencing
the biggest slowdown in year-on-year admissions growth in 10 years and that’s
by the ACA’s design
5. Healthcare IT tools that can improve clinical workflows-
Business intelligence and data analytics are popular areas because they will
help hospitals comply with the ACA and shift their payment model
