In recent years, an investment boom in the medical industry has emerged, and the fact that investors are deceived cannot be concealed. So, what pitfalls should be avoided when investing in the medical industry? After a lot of research, Mayo International found that there are the following fatal pitfalls when investing in the healthcare industry:

1, concept hospital

Many private hospital medical institutions, especially start-up medical institutions, have proposed many new concepts. For example, we have a cooperative relationship with the well-known tertiary hospital , build and manage well-known foreign medical groups, participate in top experts, and introduce some unique international advanced equipment and equipment.

For example, the design concept of an international hospital, how much scale of the second phase hospital will be expanded, and how many medical staff will participate when the hospital is opened. These have no direct relationship with whether the hospital is worth investing in. The focus of investment is on the nature of the hospital rather than on the concept, whether the main departments and diseases are reliable, the strength of the professional and operation team, the market prospects of the target area, whether the hospital's financial growth expectations are good or bad, etc. are the focus of investing in the hospital.

2. High premium "Putian Group" hospital

At present, a large amount of funds are being invested in the medical field one after another. The Putian Group has developed in the medical industry for nearly 40 years, and its share in private medical institutions in the mainland is still the largest, and its strength cannot be underestimated.

Some investors believe that for some specialized hospitals (such as obstetrics and gynecology), they are still major hospitals, and the acquisition of targets is not as many as expected. Objectively speaking, there are many successful cases of the Putian system's transformation and implementation in recent years, but there are generally not many truly comprehensive and complete successful cases.

It is difficult to bypass the Putian system if you want to invest in medical services in the mainland. In fact, not all medical institutions in Putian cannot invest. Traditional majors such as gynecology, andrology , otolaryngology, infertility (excluding assisted reproductive medicine), liver disease, dermatology and other traditional majors are not encouraged. It is wise to stay away, especially when the hospital is in good condition. However, other specialist or general hospitals may consider acquiring, but the price is not high. Otherwise, collapse is a high probability event.

3. Hospitals with high proportion of fixed assets

In recent years, more and more hospitals with a higher proportion of fixed assets seem to be more and more. The common point of these hospitals is that first, the investment amount is large, generally more than 100 million yuan, and most of them are comprehensive hospitals, almost without exception. There are also some specialized hospitals with no highlights and the profit scale does not match the fixed assets. Hospitals with a high proportion of fixed assets have a lot of fake goods, so don’t touch them.

4. Experts and executives do not have real equity hospitals

Many private medical institutions have specialists, and the operation and management team has also performed well in recent years, and even the data in many financial statements is very good. However, in today's equity era, with the rise of the partnership model, its future development prospects are worrying when core professionals and executives do not have substantial equity.

This is mainly reflected in two aspects. The stability of the core team is difficult to guarantee and the sustainability of performance growth is difficult to guarantee. If there is no substantial capital, how should it be defined?

Liuye International believes that there are two main situations: one is that the proportion of professional and executive teams is too low; for example, the proportion of the entire team is less than 30%, and the other is that the team has no equity and actual voting rights and no decision-making power. Today, many healthcare groups, including well-known publicly-owned companies, have launched so-called partner programs, but most of them have no real interests.

5. Professionals who rely heavily on medical insurance

Investing in medical services usually requires the payer to be verified first. The medical insurance system in the mainland is incomplete, and the hospital cash flow is insufficient. Medical insurance experts have insufficient funds for a long time, and tightening will be an inevitable trend in the future. The early routine of relying on medical insurance to make achievements in violation of regulations and illegal performance has fallen behind.

Even if the fees are standardized, the training space for medical insurance experts will be greatly restricted in the future.Some people say that the enthusiasm for investing in ophthalmic hospitals has been unprecedentedly high in recent years, but can we still invest? It depends on the local situation.

Through free cataract surgery and refractive surgery online tender, the traditional two-legged ophthalmic hospital has experienced wild growth and rapid development and has now reached the ceiling of the ophthalmic. In some regions, such as Shanghai, the cataract market is actually overestimated in advance. However, ophthalmic hospitals and emerging optometry chain clinics or hospitals are still worthy of attention and investment. These hospitals have gradually transformed into ophthalmic hospitals, such as vitrectomy, fundus injection, fundus laser, fundus laser and corneal transplantation, and have accounted for a considerable proportion of the hospital's revenue.

6. Hospitals with experts but no professional managers

At present, the professional managers of real hospitals are more insecured than well-known clinical experts. Suitable for multi-point exercises, area exercises and free exercises. It is easier to find well-known experts and can be referred through other methods such as consulting, consulting, multi-point practice, etc.

However, it is not easy to find a reliable professional hospital manager. It is said that there are very few professional managers with practical experience. Hospital professionals should pay attention to medical quality, hospital professionals should support hospital logistics, and hospital backends should be stable in order to effectively reflect the value of medical technology. Therefore, it is best not to choose a hospital with experts but no professional management staff.

"Look at him to build a tall building, watch him to entertain guests, watch his building collapse." Many investors have seen the future development prospects of the medical industry, but have not considered the problems behind the medical industry. Before investing, they only focus on the huge returns that may be obtained in the future, and ignore the possible problems in the future, and will definitely repeat the failure!
