The healthcare industry saw a 14% increase in M&A deal volume in 2018 compared with 2017. This trend has held in 2019, as the industry continues to consolidate. Technology-enabled innovations for consumers, such as telehealth, wearables, AI and machine learning, along with EHR optimization, cybersecurity and staffing risks, are top drivers for the rise in M&A activity.
