This has led to a proliferation of real estate obligations for health systems that are generally managed on an ad hoc basis without a full understanding of the financial risk or how they fit into an overall market strategy for the delivery of care, the article said.
A plan for these properties and a plan for growth should be part of every system’s strategic initiative.
