Undeniably, the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the lives of billions across the world. It's caused great suffering, altered the way we go about our daily lives, and transformed the healthcare industry too.
One major consequence of the pandemic: the shift toward home health.
"Families recognize the imperative of trying to keep their loved ones comfortable and safe in their home," says Barry Freeman, Managing Director of Lincoln U.S.' healthcare industry team.
That's not the only difference in the healthcare industry. Along with this shift toward home health, the industry is also seeing a movement toward value-based models and joint ventures within health services — in other words, the combining of services to offer patients better outcomes.
"We are seeing more and more of these kinds of models emerging, and it's very beneficial for high quality home health operators who do have the technology, the infrastructure, the clinical pathways, and the ability to inter operate with the hospital to be really valuable partners," Barry says.
This episode of Across the Table features a conversation between Geoffery Cockrell and Trey Andrews of McGuireWood and Barry at Lincoln U.S. All three have experience working in the healthcare space, whether that be working in mergers and acquisitions or providing guidance on transactional and regulatory models.
Geoff, Trey, and Barry lend their expertise on how the healthcare industry is changing, and specifically the prognosis for home health and telehealth. They also chat about the future and provide insight into why the diversified model of healthcare is the one to watch in coming years.
