Recent developments of health systems selling off hospital properties has led healthcare strategists to re-evaluate how these health systems can adapt to a changing market, while still meeting strategic and operational objectives. One way to avoid economic pitfalls is through health care real estate, or the physical pieces of property where a hospital or other health service sits. But because of an ever-changing market and health systems operating differently, these healthcare systems should adopt different real estate portfolios of their hospital properties, where existing real estate assets are re-evaluated and customized depending on differing factors, such as the type of care the asset provides, the needs of the community and available resources, and access to new multi-channel technologies like telehealth.

In Episode 11 of Constructing with Care, DPR’s podcast focusing on healthcare construction, Supina Mapon, healthcare strategist at DPR, and Hector Torres, managing director of healthcare investment at DC Advisory, discuss how healthcare systems can optimize their real estate portfolios in response to changing economic conditions in the effort to raise capital. They discuss in detail the four kinds of real estate portfolios that will maximize a healthcare system’s objectives.

In Episode 12, Mapon and Torres continue the discussion about how healthcare systems can recognize which portfolio is best for them, and how to go about using their real estate and locations to optimize their goals and objectives.
