The latest news and insight on the healthcare real estate sector
HOUSTON—In the last few years, more total joint and spine procedures, along with MRIs and CT scans have moved to outpatient settings, and moderate M&A activity within the outpatient surgery setting is impacting the industry, according to Becker’s Hospital Review. Outpatient migration has been a multi-decade trend and is a topic covered in almost every healthcare real estate conference or industry whitepaper. This theme remains as relevant as ever, as the shift toward outpatient off-campus settings continues unabated this year.
Two projects are soon to begin at Houston Methodist Hospital that illustrate this phenomenon. Demolition, renovation and expansion of Houston Methodist Research Institute’s imaging suite and a build-out of a new GMP cleanroom in the institution’s outpatient center are expected to be complete in spring 2019.
