Outsourcing

 

Interview: Nicolas Weber, Co-Founder, medneo

A new business model in Germany has started to change the operation of diagnostic imaging centres by offering very high quality images at low prices to physicians, hospitals, research institutes and payors. Instead of buying equipment as in the past, customers can buy clinical images – pay-per-use. We talk to Nicolas Weber, one of three ex-Siemens managers who set up the business in 2011. Marcol, the big UK investor most commonly linked to property, is backing medneo which plans a big international expansion.

Interview: Stefan Larsson, Senior Partner, BCG

Worldwide, Stefan Larsson foresees a strong move in healthcare away from fee for service, in which quality is not measured and rewarded, to a system which measures and rewards outcomes. He thinks that model will apply across acute, elderly and chronic care. But how real is the shift? Here we talk to Larsson about examples of operators who have seen significant growth and about how payors are about to shift away from DRGs. He is a Co-founder of the International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement (ICHOM), a not-for-profit devoted to the development of global standards for measurement of health outcomes that matter to patients.

Interview: Jaime Cervantes Covarrubias, CEO, Grupo VitalMex, Mexico

Persuading public sector hospitals to outsource the management of surgery sounds unlikely to lead to business success. After all, surgeons are powerful and surgery is a jealously guarded core competency. You might imagine that few public sector hospitals would willingly outsource. Yet Vitalmex has grown sales to $300m with this very business model and is now active in Peru, Colombia and Brazil. Thailand and Turkey could be next.

Dangerous consultants

Few things are more dangerous for the healthcare systems of Developing Countries than a PFI consultant. Suited and booted, we are told they often impress politicians and policymakers. If this is how the NHS in the United Kingdom funds hospital construction then why not follow its example?
