活动简介：
Healthcare mergers and acquisitions (M&A) have been on the rise since the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 went into effect. However, the research literature largely neglects the operational coordination between the acquired and the acquirer that may contribute to post-acquisition performance of healthcare providers. Since hosptials are the major healthcare providers, this study first examines whether acquisitions contribute to cost and quality performance of the acquired and the acquirer hospitals. Next, it estimates the extent to which the performance improvements are derived from similarities between the acquired and the acquirer hospitals in two operational characteristics namely geographical location and service lines. Analyzing four years (2010-2013) of data from 218 pairs of acquired and acquirer hospitals in the U.S., our study finds that: (i) hospital acquisition results in lower operating expenses and readmission rates for the acquired hospitals but not for the acquirer hospitals,(ii)there is an inverted U-shaped relationship between the pre-acquisition degree of service line similarity and the post-acquisition quality performance improvements of the acquiredhospitals; (iii) the inverted U-shaped curve representing the relationship betweenthe degree ofservice similarity and the post-acquisition quality improvements is moderated by geographic proximity.The findings suggest that acquisition mainly benefit the acquired hospitals. Hospitals looking to acquisition should jointly evaluate geographical proximity and service lines similarity of the acquisition target given their interaction effects.
