Measuring quality outcomes: the next frontier for competition?

Private health and care would be transformed if quality could be measured accurately in a way that patients could really understand. If measured, quality would then soar. And the sterile European private versus public debate would fade out as payers focused on quality outcomes and patient choice.

Report: How do we drive innovation in healthcare delivery?

What could an organisation like the London Business School possibly add to the debate on innovation on healthcare? Enough health ministries, think tanks and hospital groups are dedicated to this question already. And yet leading figures from the NHS, Bupa, the Cleveland Clinic and Aravind Eye Hospitals gathered there last week to find out. A series of interesting debates pinpointed the forces that are cutting through the miasma of healthcare systems and unlocking disruptive innovation. Here we focus on three: patient empowerment, a focus on outcomes and transparency and remodeled, rationalised healthcare systems.

Report: A first look at second opinions

Medical second opinions claim to lower healthcare costs, improve patient outcomes and democratise access to the highest level of care. Patients and payers increasingly agree. One provider told us the industry is growing exponentially and has only just begun to exploit its potential in America. Recent studies suggest up to 40% of initial diagnoses are incorrect pointing to a huge untapped market trading on uncertainty and expertise.

Report: Healthcare Europa Property Survey 2015

There is intense investor interest in healthcare services property across Europe. Fund manager Marc Phillip Martins-Kuenzel, at German real estate investor Corpus Sireo claims that he had 400 approaches from prospective buyers in a single year. This reflects the global search for high yielding investments. But healthcare property also carries risks. Some sectors such as the French hospital market, where major deals have been done, look risky as the government cuts tariffs. And the sector remains opaque and poorly segmented. There are plenty of traps for the unwary. It is also far from clear how much new capacity will come on stream for investors over the next decade. Here we look at whether and when the boom will go bust. First, we run through the headlines and what has happened to prices. We then go on to look at supply and demand. Other articles profile the main US and European property investors and the main national markets.

Report: Can assisted living work in Europe?

Everyone is familiar with the idea of a retirement village, but they are relative newcomers in any form to Europe and the common perception first popularised in 1950s America is out-dated. Then retirement meant receiving the proverbial gold watch at 65 and moving somewhere cheaper, joining a like-minded community with a golf course, often somewhere with better weather. Some developments became towns in their own right. Arizona’s Sun City has 62,000 residents. Today over 5% of those 65+ live in dedicated retirement communities.
