Due diligence in middle market healthcare M & A. The boutique consulting firm advantage
You’re a middle market private equity firm that’s just signed an LOI with a profitable and growing healthcare company. What started as a proprietary deal turned into a competitive process and you had to stretch toward the top end of your valuation range to win. Now you have a few weeks to complete the due diligence process and close the deal. A boutique consulting firm specializing in M&A for healthcare companies may be your best bet to assist.

Submit a proposal for the 2017 Stanford Medicine X | Symplur Everyone Included ™ Research Challenge
Symplur and Stanford Medicine X are welcoming proposals for our third annual research challenge until March 1 at 5 p.m. Can a virtual hashtag create a real community? Damian Roland, MD, wasn ’t certain. He’d been tracking #FOAMed—short for Free Open Access Medical Education—since it debuted on Twitter in 2012. Through it, he read other health care providers’ posts on everything from specialized procedures to rare causes of patient deaths. But he didn’t have a way to measure how broad its impact…Continued (Source: Connecting the dots in healthcare social media – Symplur)
