Healthcare providers are looking to move what they can off-site, getting what they can into lower cost real estate. Traditionally healthcare real estate (e.g., MOBs and ASCs) can be high cost, both in the initial development and in the maintenance. The healthcare industry is information intense, service-based in many respects, and pressed to reduce costs.
Telehealth centers can help address all of these issues, by moving certain client services to lower cost real estate. Thus, it makes sense that we would see growth in telehealth.
It may not be what we traditionally think of when we contemplate healthcare real estate, but healthcare real estate is not an area in which we can afford to only think of in traditional terms. In order to help our healthcare clients succeed, we need to think outside of the same-old-same-old, and be in the know with respect to such real world solutions and opportunities.
