Surviving the world of consolidations and mergers

Article Abstract:

A flurry of consolidations have occurred within the health care industry in the 1990s. Defining the nature and scope of these consolidations is mandatory for companies hoping to assess their industry standing. Consolidations include any health care provider groups who link to one another, whether loosely in limited alliances or via full-scale mergers. Consolidations result in some integration of health care services. Companies need to be clear about their goals and cognizant of their potential partners before engaging in any consolidations.
