Book Review: Guide to Healthcare Valuation (2010 Edition)

I am currently reading the Guide to Healthcare Valuation (2010 Edition), published by Business Valuation Resources (BVR) and the American Health Lawyer’s Association (AHLA). This is a great resource written by Dietrich and a number of other experienced authors. They cover a wide array of healthcare valuation topics and industry subsectors; it’s hard to find this collective wisdom all in one place. The book is thick…921 pages inclusive of appendices. A valuation book of this size typically means you’re in for a monster technical read, but this book is refreshingly different. There are plenty of practical insights and applications offered by multiple authors over diverse chapters. I was impressed by the 2009 edition of this book, which I would also recommend, and the 2010 edition clearly builds on the first issue in a major way. As I get through more of the book I’ll update this blog with reviews about specific topics and chapters. I’m especially looking forward to the chapters devoted to ambulatory surgery, dialysis, home health, and imaging. Stay tuned.

Using a medical practice appraisal

New article about the use of a medical practice appraisal
I've written a Q&A article about the application of a medical practice appraisal when involved in the purchase or sale of a medical practice. A clear approach and expectation when going through the valuation process can be of great assistance when negotiating a deal. You can find the article on our website.

Q&A from the Institute of Business Appraisers

Great article on the Institute of Business Appraisers website entitled "Building on a History of Excellence – A Discussion with IBA Headquarters on the Future of Business Valuation in the United States". Great information about leadership, standards, and trends within the business valuation community. Visit IBA's News blog to read the entire Howard Lewis interview.

Designing an Optical Dispensary for an Optometry Practice

I found an older article on the Review of Optometry website about building a startup optometry practice from scratch, written by Dr. Diecidue OD. An interesting excerpt discusses the design and building of an optical dispensary: Combining the dispensary with the reception area gives patients the opportunity to browse frame inventory while staff helps to pre-select eyewear. Designing the dispensary and reception area to be open and airy is important to create a non-confining or claustrophobic environment. Higher ceilings (9 foot+ ceilings) and windows foster an open atmosphere for browsing frame inventory. The presentation and showcase of frame inventory is also important in driving optical sales. Mapping out the dispensary for patient flow is an equally important part of this process. On the practical aspect of completing a project, the article also discusses startup optometry loan financing.

Funding is usually the crucial first step in getting the project underway. The nuances of project based financing for start-up optometry practices and other vision care offices need to be carefully planned for. I've previously written about the importance of having an optometry business plan and projections, which are good tools in developing an approach to foreseeable challenges when starting from scratch. The transition phase from construction/build-out of the physical space, into the actual practice opening and development of the business as a going concern can be treacherous if not properly addressed in advance.

Urgent Care Startup versus Urgent Care for Sale

I recently read an article discussing urgent care practice start-up alternatives. Many of the options listed involved taking over or purchasing an existing underperforming urgent care center. The points made in the article were fair, but didn’t fully address the option of purchasing an existing urgent care practice with good cash flow. The “fixer upper” mentality may work for real estate but doesn’t always pan out for going-concern medical practices. Buying a successful urgent care practice may be one of the better options available to urgent care physicians. Acquiring a marginal, underperforming practice or converting another specialty practice into a high volume treatment center may cost more in the long run. It can take substantial time to build a location into a well-established practice generating sufficient profits to warrant the specific risk premium. Another factor to consider is the opportunity cost of foregoing better income while the practice is being built up. This is an additional risk added to the actual cost of investing into the practice. Buying an urgent care medical practice which is already proven and generates robust income from the onset may be a better option. This may involve paying a higher price point and taking a larger medical practice purchase loan but can be less risky and more profitable in a shorter timeframe.
