title: Accessing capital for integrated delivery systems.
abstract: As healthcare organizations integrate to better coordinate services and control costs, they often must turn to capital markets for financing. To successfully access capital for system development, however, healthcare executives first must understand how capital markets view the various entities of a healthcare system and must structure financing proposals in keeping with market expectations. Some relatively new financing strategies, such as taxable debt and equity financing, can help healthcare executives acquire the necessary capital for systems development.
