Getting Your Executive Talent Up To Speed For MA&A

December 02, 2021

Care coordination, value-based reimbursement, and ongoing complex challenges from COVID are all factors driving the need for collaboration. For specialty provider organization executive teams, the key is to be prepared to pivot if key revenue streams decrease. For many provider organizations, a “contingency plan” for financial sustainability may include MA&A.

What type of collaboration best suits your organization? Are you needing to reach new markets, expand existing services, or add on new services? Knowing what you’re looking for, who to get it from, and how to make the exchange mutually beneficial are all core elements to a successful collaboration. Join us on December 2 when David Guth, Centerstone chief executive officer, and OPEN MINDS Senior Associate Paul Duck answer these questions using the OPEN MINDS best practices for MA&A. Guth brings his experience from 19 affiliations, mergers and acquisitions.

Executive attendees will learn:

  • An overview plan on when to merge, acquire, or affiliate
  • How to develop contacts and relationships for collaboration
  • How to develop a strategic plan for collaborations

Guth and Duck will present a case study on the merger of Manatee Glens and Centerstone of America, in which attendees will hear the perspective of both the board and the executives involved in the process.
