Book excerpt: As academic medical centers (AMCs) are increasingly impacted by mergers and acquisitions, their leaders must be prepared to evaluate and navigate such transactions. This report from the Future of Academic Medicine Series discusses key elements of AMC Mergers, Acquisitions, and Partnerships (MAP) at every stage: evaluation, negotiation, implementation, and post-transaction evaluation. Discover strategies AMCs need to utilize when deliberating any MAP transaction, including: Evaluate whether pursuit of a MAP strategy is appropriate for consideration. Evaluate the appropriateness and "fit" of potential partners. Identify which entities (stakeholders) will be engaged in any negotiations and party to any agreements. Identify "deal breakers" to put "on the table" up front. This publication is based on a study by the AAMC and the Advisory Panel on Health Care, a group composed of academic medicine leaders from 23 of the nation's teaching hospitals and other key institutions, regarding the positive and negative implications of MAP activity.
