Description
The volatility of financial markets, the unpredictability of cash reserves and tighter access to debt have caused health care organizations to become more conservative in their capital spending. Mr. Hessler will share his perspective on the current economic climate and how health care reform will affect the health care construction market. This session will enable attendees to:
Discuss a long-term view of the bond markets and how this will affect health care construction.
Describe the key performance measures that are critical if health care organizations are to successfully acquire capital.
Identify the big trends and emerging themes in cost and care transformation, with the move toward focus on population health, and how this will affect health care construction projects.
