Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Acquisitions have become increasingly necessary for managed care organizations to create product value and operating synergies. Physician practice management companies (PPMCs) that have successfully acquired and consolidated group practices and IPAs have a clear vision of their mission, focus on their target markets, and adhere to a disciplined methodology of financial evaluation, negotiation, and transition. Growing a PPMC entails risks, but expectations are for continued expansion of these organizations. The vision-focus-discipline method can help buyers adhere to a successful strategy during the acquisition process.
