Description
This case focuses on major strategic challenges faced by Tenet Healthcare (Tenet), a U.S.-based health care provider, in 2014. It discusses major changes to the health care provider industry over the previous decade―customer, demographic, reimbursement, structural, technological, financing, and regulatory―and raises questions related to the strategic direction Tenet should pursue in response to these changes. The case emphasizes two primary decisions to be taken by Tenet: 1) the acquisition of Vanguard Health Systems (Vanguard), another U.S.-based health care provider, in 2012; 2) portfolio management for Tenet’s primary business units (acute-care hospitals, outpatient facilities, health plans, and Conifer Health Solutions) in 2014.
