SCOTTSDALE, AZ–The battles before, during and after the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 have taken a back seat to the upcoming Presidential election. But continued concerns over health care reform’s impact on real estate remain front-and-center for health care providers and the real estate owners, developers and managers that service this particular sector.

It is these concerns, and others that will be addressed at this year’s fourth annual RealShare Medical Office Buildings conference, which will take place Monday-Tuesday, Nov. 14-15 at the Four Seasons Scottsdale at 1600 E. Crescent Moon Dr. The conference, produced by ALM’s Real Estate Media Group, which publishes Real Estate Forum and GlobeSt.com, will center on the impact of health care reform on providers, reimbursements . . . and real estate.

Health care systems’ action plans in the face of reform, along with changes in reimbursements, is leading to an interesting trends, namely that doctors are likely to become employees of hospitals and health care systems rather than having their own practices. This, in turn, is also going to impact medical office buildings and other related real estate.
