Yet, health care and private equity can often seem antithetical: One is driven by patient care and compliance while the other is motivated to make a quick profit. To coexist successfully (and profitably), private equity must fully appreciate all the potential compliance risks and requirements of a target health care entity before making an investment and work to implement, overhaul or update a target’s health care compliance programs once acquired.

Editor’s note: A previous story said all provinces have accepted the federal government’s health care funding, but Quebec has not.
Canada’s premiers will meet in Winnipeg this week with a focus on issues such as infrastructure, public safety and affordability, but without the aggressive push for more health care funding that dominated last year’s talks.
Instead, the 13 premiers attending…
