PHYSICIAN ALIGNMENT WITH HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS

HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS SHOULD UTILIZE REAL ESTATE TO CAPITALIZE ON PHYSICIAN ALIGNMENT

Health care systems have recently increased acquisitions and joint ventures with physician groups in order to increase hospital exposure and revenue.  While regulations which limit referrals should be carefully considered and followed, some of the following real estate assets that hospital systems have can be utilized to attract new physicians.

Office Condo Projects:  Allows physicians to invest in projects on or near campus.

New Construction: Building new office buildings with an eye toward comprehensive care and alignment of patient experience.

Hosting New Clinics and facilities which promote the hospital community.

Key to complying with regulations is fair market value agreements and documentation. Both the hospital and physician should have appropriate legal representation to assure compliance.
