Notes From the Banker’s Corner

Top takeaways from this episode

★    Healthcare IT has been, and will continue to be, a popular trend. Mikel predicts healthcare IT will continue to prove profitable as companies adjust to this new COVID-world where the digitization of healthcare is so much more vital than it was pre-pandemic. 

★     The market is shifting models. Trends seem to show that companies are shifting from transaction-based models to recurring-based models. In other words, companies are changing models to improve their profit margins by switching revenue models. 

★     There are four sectors of healthcare IT. Throughout his many transactions with AMB, Mikel has observed four main categories, or sub-sectors, within the realm of healthcare IT: revenue cycle management, patient engagement, HIM coding, and services-side monitoring. As an advisor, each of these needs to be tended to and organized in order for the client to achieve the most success.
