Summary

Healthcare continues to dominate national headlines, with major mergersacquisitions, and uncertainty around the ACA. Subsequently, there have been several opportunities within the real estate market. CBRE's U.S. Medical Office and Healthcare findings propose a variety of outlooks:


- The senior citizen population (65+), which is the highest per-capita healthcare spending demographic, will increase by 18% (to 9.2M) in the next five years - Employment in the healthcare sector has risen continuously over the last two decades, with particularly rapid growth in the ambulatory-care services sector, which has increased by 72% since 2000 - Net absorption of medical office space has outpaced new supply in 24 of the past 29 quarters - Healthcare has seen an increase in fourth quarter trailing investment volume, totaling more than $12B in Q2 and Q3 in 2017

Overall, the mission for healthcare is clear: provide quality service to a mass population in an efficient, ethical and cost-effective manner. With rising costs, however, executing healthcare's mission is an incredible challenge.

As the healthcare evolves to keep up with industry demands, how can hospital systems, healthcare providers and real estate executives work together to succeed in delivering quality healthcare while maintaining a valuable return on investment?  

 Topics to Include: 1. Major Mergers and Acquisitions: How will the mergers of CVS-Aetna and Dignity Health-CHI, as well as the Amazon-JP Morgan-Berkshire healthcare venture "Haven" impact healthcare in 2019 and years to come? 2. The Future of Technology in Healthcare: What are the new advancements in healthcare technology? Will telemedicine become the new normal and how will this disrupt traditional brick & mortar care? 3. The Evolution of Culture Within the Hospital: How will patient-centric facilities increase quality of care? Can the value-based systems of small, independent healthcare facilities be adopted in national hospital systems? 4. Procurement Challenges (and Successes): How can executives look to industries outside of healthcare (i.e. industrial/manufacturing, e-commerce/retail, hospitality, etc) to improve the procurement of healthcare? What are the best practices to keep costs down? 5. Expansion of Ambulatory Care: Will outpatient facilities overtake the demand for new hospitals? How will the demand for convenient-care, off-campus facilities and non-traditional healthcare settings affect cost, employment and patient satisfaction? 6. Design & Construction: An Evolution of Healthcare Facilities: The millennial generation is driving the demand for hotel-like hospitals and human-centered health facilities. How will this impact the way hospitals, outpatient facilities and urgent care clinics are designed? Where are the opportunities for the AEC community? 7. The Future of the ACA Under the G.O.P. Tax Bill: The new G.O.P. tax bill eliminates the individual mandate penalty for not having healthcare, weakening Obamacare. What does this mean for the industry? 8. New Developments, Leasing & Financing: What will 2019 bring in regard to new development, leasing and financing in healthcare? Will the market remain healthy? What states and cities have the most activity and opportunities for healthcare? 9. Healthcare Data Innovation & Privacy: While we are becoming an increasingly data-driven world, how can data be used to deliver better care while preserving the integrity of confidential information? 10. Private Public Partnerships: How are health systems, non-profits, developers and government executives partnering via P3 to deliver high-quality, cost-effective health facilities? 11. Investment Outlook Forecast: What is the current transaction volume of healthcare real estate and how does it compare to other market places? Does the supply & demand marketplace have a healthy outlook for 2020 and beyond?  12. Medical Forecast 2030: How will the current behavioral crisis, future physician shortages, and aging population strain the healthcare industry, both from an operational and real estate standpoint? What can the industry do now to maintain cost-effective, accessible care? Join us for this full day event to hear more about these topics and to network with the biggest influencers in healthcare real estate, healthcare providers, hospital systems, academic institutions, healthcare REITs and construction & design firms.
