Industry Consolidation Driving Change

• Industry consolidation is helping healthcare providers achieve financial strength, increase scale and

efficiencies, and integrate networks for improved care delivery and lower costs

• However, consolidation creates challenges to manage large, complex organizations with lack of

centralized management systems, shortage of skilled staff, and limited visibility to assets
