Health Care M&A Volume Falls in Q3:2019, According to HealthCareMandA.com

Leave a comment


News Image

“The third quarter’s deal volume didn’t end on the up-note we expected when the quarter began…Still, private equity has a lot of money sitting on the sidelines and some large national platforms are on the market. The fourth quarter could surprise us.”


NORWALK, Conn. (PRWEB)

Health care merger and acquisition activity slowed compared with the second quarter. The number of deals announced fell 13%, to 408, compared with the previous quarter and was 15% lower than the 478 deals announced in the same quarter in 2018. Combined spending in the third quarter totaled $51.5 billion, down 63% compared with the previous quarter’s extraordinary $139.1 billion. It was 65% greater than the $31.1 billion reported in the same quarter in 2018, according to HealthCareMandA.com.

Healthcare services transactions represented 67% of the third quarter’s deal volume, similar to the previous four quarters. The Long-Term Care sector once again ranked the busiest, with 101 deals and a 25% share of the quarter’s transaction total. Year-over-year, only two sectors posted gains—Hospitals (+17%) and Managed Care (+29%)—and Rehabilitation remained the same. Combined spending accounted for only 38% of the quarter’s total, approximately $19.6 billion, based on disclosed prices.

Healthcare technology deals accounted for 33% of the third quarter’s deal volume. The eHealth sector was the busiest, posting 53 deals and making up 13% of the quarter’s total. Year-over-year, eHealth was the only one of the technology sectors to post an increase in deal volume, up 43% compared with the second quarter of 2018. Combined spending among the technology sectors was more than $31.9 billion.

“The third quarter’s deal volume didn’t end on the up-note we expected when the quarter began,” said Lisa E. Phillips, editor of HealthCareMandA.com. “The two interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve didn’t offset the growing talk of a recession and slowing economic growth in the European Union and China. Still, private equity has a lot of money sitting on the sidelines and some large national platforms are on the market. The fourth quarter could surprise us.”

FALLS CHURCH, Va. (PRWEB)

Develop World-Class SOPs that Minimize Human Error

Improve Your Productivity, Quality and Regulatory Standing

**An FDAnews Webinar**

Thursday, Oct. 31, 2019, 1:00-2:30 p.m. EDT

https://www.fdanews.com/developsops

Looking to improve the organization’s productivity, quality and regulatory success? SOPs are key.

Most regulatory citations are related to procedures. And procedures account for more than 40% of human error events in manufacturing. By improving SOPs, one will minimize both human error and regulatory citations.

How does one go about it?

Human Error Solutions’ CEO, Ginette Collazo, Ph.D. — an industrial-organizational psychologist and one of the world’s few human error reduction experts — will explain:

  • How to prepare an outline and develop world-class SOPs

  • The interrelationship between SOPs, quality and regulatory compliance

  • Why human error is a root cause for lack of quality and how to minimize it

  • Common mistakes and causes of human error

  • How to create and maintain a procedure that minimizes human error

  • Good procedure writing practices: terminology, formats, layouts, mixed cases, steps content, familiar words, references, branching, conditional steps and the use of precautions, warnings and cautions

  • Use of electronic information networks for procedural access


While human error may never be eliminated completely, one will come away with clear guidance to help have SOPs that minimize such issues to avoid human error events and regulatory citations.

Study Suggests Adalimumab Exposure in Pregnancy Does Not Increase Birth Defects Risk

Leave a comment


https://www.prweb.com/

OTIS provides the MotherToBaby service

The fact that this study showed no increased risk in adverse birth outcomes with the use of adalimumab in pregnancy is important since not a lot of research was previously available on this particular medication.


LA JOLLA, Calif. (PRWEB)

A new study conducted by birth defects experts from the Organization of Teratology Information Specialists (OTIS) suggests adalimumab use in pregnancy was not associated with an increased risk for adverse outcomes examined, such as major structural birth defects, spontaneous abortion and preterm delivery. The findings were published today in the Public Library of Science (PLOS) One Journal.

The prospective research study conducted by OTIS examined 602 pregnancies that occurred between 2004 – 2016 in women across the U.S. and Canada. Researchers enrolled pregnant women into the observational cohort study who had or had not taken adalimumab for their autoimmune disease, as well as generally healthy pregnant women for comparison. OTIS is the scientific non-profit society that provides the no-cost MotherToBaby information service and enrolls women through the MotherToBaby Pregnancy Studies Research Center at the University of California San Diego. Financial support for the adalimumab study was provided by AbbVie.

“Many women hoping to start a family rely on adalimumab to control symptoms related to crippling autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or Crohn’s Disease,” said lead study author Christina Chambers, PhD, MPH, OTIS/MotherToBaby president and professor of pediatrics at the University of California, San Diego. “The fact that this study showed no increased risk in adverse birth outcomes with the use of adalimumab in pregnancy is important since not a lot of research was previously available on this particular medication.”

The study also found that regardless of whether they took adalimumab or not, pregnant women with rheumatoid arthritis or Crohn’s Disease were at an increased risk of preterm birth (delivery before 37 weeks of pregnancy).

“Studies on medication use in general are lacking when it comes to understanding their effects on pregnancy, making it difficult for pregnant women and their healthcare providers to make informed decisions,” said Dr. Chambers. “We are proud to add valuable information to the literature and encourage more pregnant women to consider volunteering for critical observational studies.”

For more information on all of the current MotherToBaby Pregnancy Studies, please visit https://mothertobaby.org/pregnancy-studies/.
