HEALTHCARE OVERVIEW
Healthcare issues are expected to draw more attention in D.C., but
economic, foreign policy issues leave plenty of question marks Despite the
war in Iraq and an expected full-scale campaign from the Bush
administration to revamp Social Security, unfinished healthcare business
from the last congressional session and festering problems within the
industry will likely force lawmakers to pay more attention to healthcare
in 2005.
Providers will grapple with familiar issues; relief awaits on some
fronts, new challenges on others Once again, economic issues promise to be
all consuming for executives at hospitals, health systems and other
provider organizations in the year ahead. Whether it's reimbursement from
federal payers, dealing with rising levels of uninsured or lingering
shortages of human and financial capital, there's plenty of unfinished
business facing the industry.
We work with medical-related companies and businesses such as doctor's
offices, dentists, hospitals, medical laboratories, retirement and care
facilities and home nursing operations.
