Core Principles
We are committed to these core principles
Our coalition is committed to promoting responsible private investment in healthcare that enhances patient care, strengthens the healthcare system, and upholds the highest ethical standards. These principles serve as a framework for our members and demonstrate our dedication to addressing criticism and ensuring that private investment is a force for good in healthcare.
Patient-Centered Care
We prioritize patient well-being above all else. Our investments enhance access, improve health outcomes, and support providers in delivering high-quality, compassionate care to all patients, especially in underserved and rural areas.
Disparities and Access
We prioritize investments that reduce health disparities and promote better access to care for all populations, regardless of socioeconomic status, geography, or other barriers.
Transparency and Accountability
We are committed to transparency in ownership and operations. Our member investors provide clear information about governance structures, financial and management practices, and the impact of their investments on patient care and community health.
Ethical Business Practices
Private investment in healthcare should adhere to the highest ethical standards. Our members do not engage in exploitative practices such as unnecessary billing to payors or limiting patient care options. We promote responsible business models that align with long-term sustainability and public trust.
Independence of Clinical Decision-Making
We believe physicians and healthcare providers must retain autonomy in clinical decision-making. Investments should empower providers to focus on delivering accepted standards of care, free from undue influence by financial interests.
Commitment to Workforce Development
Our investments foster more positive work environments for healthcare professionals by supporting fair compensation, training opportunities, and measures to address workforce shortages and burnout.
Promotion of Innovation and Technology
Our investments drive innovation in healthcare, enabling the development and deployment of transformative technologies, therapies, and care delivery models that improve patient outcomes and system efficiency.
Long-Term Value Creation
Our investments create sustainable value for patients, providers, and communities. This includes support for healthcare organizations in maintaining financial stability and adapting to the evolving needs of the healthcare system.
Regulatory Compliance and Good Governance
We are in strict compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Our members are committed to strong governance practices, including ethical leadership and accountability mechanisms to ensure responsible decision-making.
Collaboration with Stakeholders
We believe in fostering collaboration between investors, providers, policymakers, and communities to ensure that private investment in healthcare aligns with the broader goals of a healthier, more resilient society.
These principles reflect our commitment to responsible private investment in healthcare, distinguishing our members from bad actors and ensuring that investments contribute positively to the well-being of patients and the strength of the healthcare system.
