Healthcare and MedTech

MedTech companies need to rethink their role in the market and their operating models to adapt to the most important trends! The turning point of the highly regulated MedTech industry is the successful integration of digital technologies (AI - Artificial Intelligence, VR - Virtual Reality, AR - Augmented Reality, DT - Digital Twin). The ability to securely share and embed data into clinical processes will be the must-have. This will be enabled by smart machines, software and data streams, connectivity and platforms, and continuous cybersecurity assurance. The advancing connectivity of devices not only enables new capabilities, but also new business models. In this context, the convergence of IT (data management systems) and OT (operational technology) still raises major questions. The next few years will show which provider will act as an integrator and be the preferred partner for hospitals.

A trend toward decentralization is emerging in the healthcare market. To increase patient welfare, but also driven by cost pressure and the billing models of health insurance companies, healthcare services are increasingly being provided on an outpatient basis. This increases the need for both care and therapy services outside hospitals. On the one hand, this requires the development of suitable infrastructures (availability of equipment, materials, data, etc.) with new ecosystems and distribution channels, e.g. via online platforms. On the other hand, new demands are placed on medical equipment (consumables, medical technology devices, etc.), both from the technical and regulatory side. Finally, the shift of care and therapies from hospitals to outpatient solutions is increasingly bringing non-specialists into the role of users/operators.

We support you in identifying your challenges and adapting business models, operating models, processes and services to the changing circumstances in a patient-oriented manner.

The challenges faced by hospitals range from the fulfillment of (medical) services and the implementation of regulations to efficient operational management. In this context, the patient-oriented design of processes and services (clinical pathways) plays a particularly important role. The purely functional perception of the hospital as a place where services are provided is changing into a holistic service provider for health. The importance of the patient's well-being, through personal care, pleasantly designed rooms, additional services, etc., is increasing. The development of a hospital brand and the absolute focus on perfect service management to increase patient well-being are important differentiation factors in competition.

We accompany you in the patient-oriented and efficient alignment of your services with a focus on Lean Hospital, Smart Hospital and Branded Hospital. We are happy to present you our successes with our customers from the European and Arabian area (especially the United Arab Emirates and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia).

In a time of strong economic fluctuations, acquisitions and divestments are sometimes essential to reposition healthcare companies and take advantage of growth opportunities. For this purpose, both the financial evaluation and the assessment of the operational performance are essential in order to create a resilient decision template.

We assist private equity firms with a focus on the healthcare industry in analyzing and evaluating operational metrics and performance. We provide support throughout the investment cycle, from operational due diligence (ODD) to operational spin-off and merger integration (PMI).
