In a recent newsletter, CBRE / Heathcare discussed what's next for healthcare capital markets.
Changes to reimbursement methods and reductions in provider compensation combined with an increased demand for healthcare services over the next five years is forcing health systems to rethink their approach to health care real estate, according to the newsletter.
"As health systems and physician groups change their delivery network, both healthcare service operators and owners of healthcare real estate are repositioning their portfolio requirements based on their growth needs. This has led to the highest medical office sales volume in the healthcare capital markets since 2007," wrote Lee Asher and Chris Bodnar, of CBRE's Healthcare Capital Markets Group.
According to the article, CBRE expects 2014 to be another active year in healthcare capital markets. The consolidation among healthcare providers and changes in the healthcare delivery model could mean another record year in medical office sales.
