two.1.4) Short description
OUH is considering options to successfully develop its private patient business. One
option under consideration is to partner with a private hospital operator (or
potentially more than one operator, if different partnerships are created for specific
specialties/sites), and part of OUH’s strategy development process is to engage
with private hospital operators who may potentially be interested in such a
partnership.
OUH would like to evaluate:
- Whether its objectives with regard to private patients are most likely to be achieved
through developing private patient services independently, through a partnership
with a private hospital operator, or through a hybrid model with different solutions
for different specialties;
- The extent to which UK and international private hospital groups are interested in
partnering to jointly develop a successful long-term private patient business across
some or all OUH’s clinical specialties and sites;
- In broad terms, what type of commercial and operational structures would be most
attractive to potential partners; and
- What benefits private partners believe they can bring which would result in a more
successful private patient business than OUH might achieve acting independently.
