In the January 2014 edition of Real Estate Forum, HSA PrimeCare president John Wilson joins other health care real estate leaders in analyzing the factors, other than the mandates from the Affordable Care Act (“ACA”), that are contributing to the shift toward outpatient care delivery.
In his comments, HSA PrimeCare’s John Wilson tells Real Estate Forum that “recent technological innovation together with regulatory changes as outlined by the ACA and the resulting cost pressures are playing a greater role in health care strategy by accelerating the migration of inpatient procedures to outpatient settings.” John also references the attention being paid to consumerism among health care providers who believe exceptional patient care and comfort have become essential in competing within the health care sector.
