As a firm, AMB broadly focuses on healthcare services, healthcare IT, and pharma services, but during this episode, Mikel mainly discusses healthcare IT trends and insights to the company’s services in this sector.

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.
