Where the investors are flocking

It’s an exciting time to be in Nashville. We live and work in a city where new health care companies are starting about as fast as new restaurants and hotels are opening. The challenges of the hospital sector notwithstanding, the vast majority of local health care headlines reflect positive developments — a startup has successfully completed an angel round, another has brought on an institutional investor to accelerate growth, industry veterans have completed a successful sale of their company — and the cycle continues.

Which begs the question we get asked (and ask ourselves) every day: “Where in health care are you spending your time?” While there are several areas that merit mention, we will for the sake of brevity focus on three that are garnering their fair share of attention: behavioral health, revenue cycle management and population health management.
