A new healthcare economy is taking shape. That means new investment opportunities are forming too. At Nueterra Capital, our investment strategy capitalizes on this change.
We believe healthcare is transitioning from a fee-for-service model to a value-based service model (fee-for-value). Our strategy is to invest in healthcare companies that improve the overall value delivered to the consumer or patient. We define value as clinical outcomes plus experience (both patient and provider) divided by the overall cost of care.
We believe the following elements are critical drivers of this transformation:
The industry is transitioning from fee-for-service system to a value-based model that delivers transparent pricing and quality metrics, acknowledging that patients have become discerning consumers.
Financial risk in healthcare is shifting to a shared-risk model, in which payers, providers and patients all agree on a path focused on the overall well-being of the patient.
As data continues to flood the market, there’s a greater need for software that connects networks and analyzes practice behavior. Insights in these areas are fundamental to change.
Mergers and acquisitions are continually driven by economies of scale, software inter-operability and increased capital needs.
We focus our investments into these healthcare sectors based on our assessment of market trends and opportunities.
