HRA is…a resource for hospital systems

Most of the nation’s hospitals have become directly involved in providing some level of coordinated home care services, as part of their post acute care continuum.  However, they often lack the internal resources and expertise to compete successfully with the cluttered field of home care providers in their local markets. Within the scope of “accountable care,” there is a mandate to integrate patient care across a wider range of healthcare venues, which include: inpatient care, outpatient services, long term care and in-home care.

The integration of ambulatory care services, requiring hospitals to accept more financial risk under constantly changing reimbursement parameters, is now a competitive necessity.  HRA has an exceptional track record in assisting hospital management with the complexities of home care and other ambulatory care businesses.  HRA has assisted with over 45 acquisitions, many of which were the result of advising hospital management with sound “make or buy” decisions in implementing their overall ambulatory care strategy.

We provide our hospital Clients with the following services:

• Integration of outpatient and home-based patient services
• Clinical niche marketing strategies
• Comprehensive business planning including “make or buy” analysis
