Technology, care coordination and healthcare models that enhance quality will be key healthcare investment areas this year, according to Justin Fengler, an associate with TripleTree who specializes in post-acute providers and technology-enabled business services.
Due to the shift in healthcare from fee-for-service to value-based care, TripleTree expects bundled payment conveners, care navigators and companies that provide care management for high acuity populations to gain significant market attention in 2015.
Lower acuity community-based healthcare settings and alternate sites of care, along with related settings, will also receive market attention in 2015. The focus on these healthcare settings will be facilitated by a number of factors, including changes in care delivery and reimbursement models.
TripleTree also expects technology-enabled healthcare that directly serves consumers and employers such as remote monitoring and consumer engagement solutions to be attractive areas of investment in 2015.
