Despite the best intentions, we all know that hospital and health system transactions can, and do, go bad. In this recent article for the AHLA Transactions Conference Guide, Director Jeff Sommer and Managing Director Rob Kirsch explore the inherent risks of hospital affiliations and present strategies to mitigate those risks. Topics include Reducing the Risks of a Merger Misadventure; Case Studies: Divorces Done Cheap and Not So Cheap; and What Risks Are Different for Mergers in 2016 and Beyond.
