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.

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.
