Here is the latest media coverage surrounding the PESP report release:
McKnights:
Home health, hospice among top private equity healthcare acquisition targets
Private equity healthcare investments in 2022 were the second highest on record after 2021, in terms of disclosed deal value and deal count. Home health and hospice both made it into the top 15 categories in which deal activity occurred.
That’s according to a new report by the Private Equity Stakeholder Project. And it’s not necessarily a good thing, according to the authors.
Home health, hospice among top 15 PE healthcare investments in 2022
Private equity (PE) investments in healthcare were the second-highest on record behind 2021, with home health and hospice among the top 15 subsets, according to a new report by the Private Equity Stakeholder Project.
The PESP tallied a total of 628 private equity deals in healthcare last year with home health and hospice accounting for 37 deals. PE firms notched up 12 add-on acquisitions in hospice and 22 add-ons and three buyouts in the home healthcare sector. An add-on is a company that a private equity firm adds to one of its platform companies.
Watchdogs demand more oversight of PE investment in home health, hospice
Home health and hospice ranked in the top 15 healthcare subsectors for private equity investment in 2022, according to the Private Equity Stakeholder Project. In this McKnight’s Home Care Newsmaker Podcast, Mary Bugbee and Eileen O’Grady from the nonprofit watchdog group explain why labor issues and patient safety call for more government oversight of private equity investment in the sector.

10 RCM headlines from February to know
Private equity firms took a “significant interest” in revenue cycle management companies in 2022, according to a report from the Private Equity Stakeholder Project.
RCM companies saw ‘significant’ private equity interest in 2022: Report
Private equity firms took a “significant interest” in revenue cycle management companies in 2022, according to a Feb. 23 report from the Private Equity Stakeholder Project.
RCM companies were involved in 21 private equity deals last year — 18 add-ons and three buyouts — according to the report.
“RCM companies advertise themselves as more efficient and advanced than in-house debt collection operations at hospitals,” the report stated. “There is evidence to support this contention, as many RCM companies have invested heavily in updating and scaling their collection services through technology. This has led to a surge in demand from hospitals for RCM services, which has made this segment of the industry very profitable and attractive for investors.”
