Learn About the Healthcare System and Management Skills Through “Experience” – Nico Nico News

News Highlights

A program that teaches an understanding of the healthcare system and management skills through “experience” was introduced. Key issues in healthcare M&A and business succession were suggested, including preparation for medical fee revisions, maintaining facility standards and dispersing equipment investment burdens through economies of scale, and utilizing tax incentives including transitions to specific medical corporations and social medical corporations.

Perspective from M&A Medical Editorial Department

The “preparation for medical fee revisions” suggested in this news goes beyond mere system understanding. Healthcare facility managers need to concretely simulate how their institution’s revenue structure will change based on the outlook of the next revision cycle. For example, they should consider how the increase or decrease in diseases covered by DPC (Diagnosis Procedure Combination) and the fee revisions for outpatient and inpatient basic fees will affect their institution’s role in regional healthcare collaboration and its acquisition price in future M&A. In particular, the “economies of scale” from group formation can not only disperse the burden of equipment investment but also serve as a powerful option for securing specialized personnel and for continuing advanced medical care and specialized treatment departments that would be difficult for a healthcare institution with no successor to maintain on its own. Utilizing tax schemes also necessitates consideration for more strategic business succession and organizational restructuring, including transitions to specific medical corporations and social medical corporations.
