As massive mergers and acquisitions continue to disrupt the healthcare industry, maintaining relationships and communication during and after mergers is increasingly difficult. The consolidation of health systems impacts everyone from providers and suppliers to specifier firms. During this idea exchanges, attendees will explore how mergers affect healthcare facilities, capital spending, internal process, and building new teams. Attendees will also have the opportunity to learn how to manage change before, during and after a merger.

Learning Objectives:
1. Identify the pros and cons of hospital consolidation.
2. Discuss the impact consolidation can have on the multiple facets of the hospital environment.
3. Analyze the influence consolidation can have on costs, prices, quality, and patient care.
4. Evaluate what the future of healthcare looks like as hospital consolidation continues to rise.
