Often, distressed healthcare institutions have salvaged their deteriorating situations by merging or consolidating with or selling their assets and operations to a neighboring institution. This article reviews the analysis that should be undertaken by a financially sound institution when it considers acquiring a distressed institution. Acquiring a failing institution provides many good opportunities as well as many great risks. A healthy institution must depend upon good planning and execution to ensure a successful venture.
通常情况下，陷入困境的医疗机构会通过与邻近机构合并、整合或出售其资产及业务来挽救其不断恶化的局面。本文回顾了财务状况良好的机构在考虑收购陷入困境的机构时应进行的分析。收购一家濒临倒闭的机构既带来诸多良机，也伴随着诸多巨大风险。一家健康的机构必须依靠良好的规划与执行来确保 venture 的成功。（这里 venture 直译为“冒险、 venture”，结合语境可理解为“收购行为”之类的意思，由于原文未明确给出合适中文对应词，暂保留英文）
