Private equity (PE) ownership in health care is on the rise, bringing significant changes to the workforce and raising concerns about patient care quality.
Key Workforce Impacts:
๐ Increased Clinician Turnover: PE acquisitions often lead to higher turnover rates among health care professionals, disrupting continuity of care and increasing recruitment costs.
๐ Staffing Changes: To maximize profits, PE firms may alter staffing models, potentially replacing experienced clinicians with less costly alternatives, affecting the quality of care provided.
๐ Operational Restructuring: PE ownership can result in significant changes to practice operations, including shifts in employment structures and compensation models, impacting workforce morale and stability.
Implications for Patient Care:
These workforce changes can lead to decreased patient satisfaction, reduced access to care, and potential declines in care quality. As PE firms prioritize financial returns, the emphasis on cost-cutting measures may compromise the patient experience and outcomes. Vision Executives
