Private equity ownership of hospitals made care riskier for patients, a new study finds

Published Wed, 26 Feb 2025 05:32:29 GMT

(CNN) — Health care became more hazardous for patients at hospitals purchased by private equity firms, a new study shows.The sweeping study, which was published Tuesday in the journal JAMA, looked at the rates of 10 serious adverse events associated with medical care at 51 hospitals before and after they were purchased by private equity firms — a financing model designed to make money for investors. The researchers then compared those results with the rates of the same complications at 259 hospitals that were not owned by private equity firms.Private equity firms have been acquiring large chunks of the US health care delivery system in recent years. In addition to hospitals, those acquisitions include nursing homes, behavioral health systems, and private physician practices. Academic research has shown that private equity ownership is associated with higher death rates for patients in nursing homes and increased costs to taxpayers.

Her family couldn’t afford a piano, so her first instrument was a button accordion.
