Beyond the Day Job: Creating Exit Value in Orthopaedic Platforms

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker, involved in developing Rothman Orthopedics' platform, shares the practice’s growth since the late 1990s, emphasizing infrastructure investments costing shareholders nearly $100M. They developed advanced analytics, patient outcome tracking, and integrated systems driving operational efficiency and $92M in savings under bundled payments. Despite private equity interest and potential for rapid expansion and liquidity, Rothman opted to avoid selling to preserve autonomy, control, and their mission. Instead, they pursue slower growth through health system partnerships, licensing, and branding, prioritizing long-term vision over quick financial gain. The talk offers caution and insight into private equity deals in healthcare.
