Perhaps the greatest change to the American healthcare system over the past few decades has been the increased use of clinical co-management arrangements by hospitals to help the challenges of increasing competition, changing reimbursement structures, and shifting operational paradigms. As noted in the AHLA/BVR Guide to Healthcare Valuation, these arrangements are so unique and often so new that many valuation techniques are insufficient to assess their value.

In part 6 of BVR's Online Symposium on Healthcare Valuation expert appraisers Greg Anderson and Ann Brandt join us to discuss the challenges inherent in valuing this emerging component of the healthcare marketplace. Presentation topics will include operational characteristics of co-management agreements and methods of valuation, including income-, incentive-, and cost-based approaches.
