The cost-saving opportunity most health systems overlook
Many hospitals and health systems scrutinize staffing, service lines, and payer contracts for savings. Fewer look at one of their largest assets: real estate.
Provider real estate portfolios often hold untapped value: vacant space, redundant leases, misaligned capital structures, and unmanaged compliance exposure. As care shifts to outpatient settings, portfolios change faster than most organizations can track.
This report offers a framework for recovering that value across four areas: portfolio performance, operational strategies, capital strategies, and risk mitigation. It is drawn from work that has identified more than $78 million in client savings over the past two years. In one illustrative example, a three-hospital system could capture nearly $1.1 million a year by filling vacant owned space and cutting operating costs. In another, revised ownership and financing on a 60,000-square-foot ambulatory facility yielded more than $5 million in net present value savings.
