Imagine swallowing the competition whole. That's what many players in tech do via roll-up strategies, gobbling up smaller firms to deliver richer solutions and amass greater market share. Where else are roll-up strategies common? // HEALTHCARE Picture being a patient at a medical practice that’s been part of a roll-up in Healthcare Services. It's an industry ripe for roll-ups due to its fragmented nature and potential for greater efficiency. // CONSUMER SERVICES Or let's say you needed your HVAC serviced, and notice your local repairman is now part of a bigger Consumer Services entity? Centralized management and scale economy turn these localized businesses into roll-up targets. // FINANCIAL SERVICES Think about your insurance agent or wealth management advisor. They're working in complex, highly regulated environments. In the Financial Services sector, roll-ups offer an effective way to consolidate expertise, streamline operations, and enhance customer offerings. // MANUFACTURING Now, imagine driving past factories under a new name — the result of Manufacturing and Industrial Services roll-ups. Bulk purchasing reduces costs, enhances production capabilities, and expands geographical footprints. // REAL ESTATE Lastly, envision your real estate brokerage firm. The industry sees roll-ups as a strategic move to increase market penetration, enhance service offerings, and hike up portfolio value. Roll-ups play a huge role in most industries, rather like a snowball rolling downhill, gaining momentum, and size. Are you seeing roll-ups in your sector or considering M&A?

Why Today’s Healthcare Services Must Embrace Both Digital and Brick-and-Mortar Models In today’s rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, it’s essential to build service models that seamlessly integrate digital and physical components. This dual approach is critical not just for convenience but for maximizing patient outcomes, productivity, and safety. Sylvana Q. Sinha, Esq. recent Forbes article, “Attention Consumer Health Investors & Founders: The Future is Click & Brick”, speaks directly to this shift. She makes a compelling case for why blending “click” (digital) and “brick” (physical) models is the future of healthcare—a sentiment that resonates strongly with us at Cognisance Healthcare Consulting. At Cognisance Healthcare Consulting we recognize that designing any healthcare service today must start with parallel planning for both digital and physical infrastructure. This means offering patients easy digital access for booking, interactions, and record-keeping, while providing high-quality physical spaces where care can be delivered hands-on. For service providers, this dual model isn’t just about patient convenience; it allows for the optimal patient experience, improved clinical outcomes, and streamlined operations, all while minimizing patient risk, . When we work with investors on new healthcare projects, our approach is rooted in integrating both channels from day one. This ensures that healthcare services are accessible, effective, and ready to scale—giving both providers and patients a well-rounded experience. The Bottom Line: Healthcare services must evolve to meet patients wherever they are, whether that’s in person or online. The future of healthcare isn’t just digital or brick-and-mortar; it’s both. #healthcare #HealthcareInnovation #DigitalHealth #PatientExperience #HealthcareServices #ClickAndBrick #Telehealth #HealthTech #DigitalTransformation #PatientAccess #HealthcareConsulting #HealthcareInvesting #CognisanceHealthcare #PatientSafety #HealthcareProductivity #DualModel #HealthcareFuture #SmartHealthcare #HealthcareInfrastructure #HealthcareInvestors

Direct Pediatric Care and the other derivatives of direct care are becoming mainstream. Agree, it is not just a fad, or a fringe model, or one only for patients with disposable income. Direct care models are part of the solution to our broken fee-for-service medical care. It is about prevention, not repair. It is about relationships, not throughput. It is about doing what is right for the patient, not the industry. I love seeing the rapid progress and attention in the market place. https://lnkd.in/gHHKSwBd

AI is poised to reshape the healthcare industry. Here’s how to accelerate it. The promise of AI in healthcare is massive — earlier diagnoses, personalized treatments, faster drug discoveries — but there's a critical bottleneck…data. Here's the reality: Hospital and health systems are sitting on a tremendous amount of data, but data privacy and compliance concerns create sharing hurdles. Non-standardized data limits AI model development and accuracy. At SignalFire, we're seeing breakthrough approaches emerge that can accelerate healthcare AI success: - Novel de-identification technologies - Hybrid federated learning models - Standardized pre-processing pipelines The future of healthcare AI isn't about choosing between privacy and innovation—it's about building bridges between them.
