Site-of-care optimization makes a difference, and that’s made possible by private equity investing in healthcare. Lauren Makhoul, principal at Avalere Health, explains this dynamic in the first installment of The Corner Series Shorts with McGuireWoods partner and host Geoff Cockrell.

When private equity-backed platforms invest in ambulatory surgical centers, they capture facility fees while moving procedures to lower-cost settings, benefiting physicians and the healthcare system. This optimization improves patient experience through better scheduling, convenient locations and dedicated facilities while reducing overall healthcare costs.

A spinoff of The Corner Series, The Corner Series Shorts delivers quick, high-impact insights from dealmakers and thought leaders at the intersection of healthcare and private equity. Each short episode — less than 10 minutes — offers a focused look at key trends, timely topics and expert perspectives.
