6 Keys to Innovation Investing Success

On the surface, clinical and administrative expertise and industry knowledge would appear to perfectly position health care organizations to underwrite startups developing new digital health solutions.

Over the past decade, many organizations have tried this on their own without the help of professional investors. Some have succeeded while others have learned how complex and demanding it is to develop a successful private-investment program.

A newly released report from Concord Health Partners and the AHA Center for Health Innovation, “Innovation Investing in Health Care: Keys to Success,” covers six cornerstones to managing a private-investment program. The report addresses:

• How to invest systematically.
• Why you should invest in what you know.
• Ways to maintain a deep and consistent investment funnel.
• How to create value to differentiate yourself.
• Why it’s important to commit for the long term.
• Whether to seek a partner or fly solo.

This report builds on Part 2, “A Private-Equity Primer for Health Care Organizations,” and Part 1, “Understanding the Keys to Successful Innovation Investing” of the series.
