Healthcare

Why are more doctors choosing health system employment, despite limited earning potential?

No other industry has seen the field of battle change so quickly.

There is no quarter of safety—the regulatory environment is perilous, reimbursements are retreating all while patients expect more. Technology has grown to a point that rolling out new software can cost more than a 100-bed facility and consolidation means that we’re constantly reinventing solutions to previously settled problems.

But with turmoil comes opportunity.

In 2015, Dr. David B. Nash, dean of the Jefferson College of Population Health, said at the American College of Healthcare Executives’ Congress on Healthcare Leadership.

“The most important number I need to predict your health status and well-being is your ZIP code, bar none.”

LOCATION STILL MATTERS.

But flexibility, affordability, and translating strategy efficiently into a physical place that the market supports is important, too.

Providing your system with reliable, empirical and succinct information is how we empower our Healthcare Clients to make the best real estate decision possible.

Government

Is your institution fully accountable to its citizens? What is the true cost of your lease obligations?

Government Research

How excellent can any of us be at activities that are not core competencies?

Governments can be excellent at governing, but have to rely on others—others who have put in the time and practice to achieve excellence—for non-core functions.

This reality can leave jurisdictions unarmed in combat when it comes to negotiating and selecting real estate. Politics change. Laws are complex. Governmentsare further hindered by well-meaning regulations that result in a higher cost for its citizens. On top of that, Landlords have sixty ways to cut you and you’ll never even know you were bleeding.

As your real estate advocate, our role is to analyze your specialized requirements and property, identify a thorough plan of action, and implement that plan to ensure your objectives are not just met, but EXCEEDED.

Pre+Equity

Do you have an equity transaction in your future? What is the easiest way to reduce OpEx & boost valuations?

Pre+Equity Research

In the race to close a transaction, real estate can become just another detail.

But it’s more than a detail. Leasehold interest in real estate can be the center of a company, a strategy for the transaction or one piece of a larger plan. And in haste, companies seeking equity make poor choices that affect value, or private equity firms relegate the task to the settlement counsel.

DTSpade has created a business unit around preparing for equity infusions. Whether real property is owned or leased, DTSpade helps:

companies seeking equity investment plan for the event by managing the transaction through the lens of a private equity firm, and
private equity firms to manage the leasehold assignment process cheaper, better and faster than traditional players.

DTSpade represents you BETTER because we are:

skilled in these transactions. Our job is negotiating lease deal terms with Landlords throughout the United States. We’ve counseled owners whose businesses are not saleable because of forward obligation lease terms and negotiated assignments with Landlords who have no incentive to do so.
focused on managing the schedule. It’s a learning curve to explain to a typical broker that the schedule is paramount. Real estate brokers are accustomed to driving schedule, negotiating terms, and managing the process. For any schedule, we can communicate to stakeholders gettable concessions on a given timetable.
prepared for even the most demanding assignments. In living our commitment to build a business around helping Clients make one decision excellently, we are staffed with licensed real estate brokers to reallocate resources for even the largest assignments.

DTSpade works FASTER because we have practiced these transactions for years. Equity transactions in which our Partners have been involved include:

Nanston Dental transaction to Great Expressions (17 locations in Georgia)
Tenet Healthcare Atlanta asset transaction to WellStar Health System (4 hospitals + 15 locations in Atlanta)
Southern Dental transaction to Tralongo Management (11 locations in Texas)

DTSpade completes this work CHEAPER because we can access brokerage commissions from new leases to offset costs of assignments in other locations. Oftentimes, work that would have been charged to the transaction can be completed at no additional cost by accessing these fees.
