The repeal of the Affordable Care Act is just one issue potentially affecting healthcare real estate in 2017, according to an article on the Becker's Hospital Review website.
Also, public pressure has prompted judicial and legislative scrutiny into the tax-exempt status of nonprofit hospitals across the country.
At the same time, with a rise in potential buyers combined with reimbursement pressures on the operational side, many health systems and physician groups have elected to "monetize" their real estate assets.
Plus, in recent years, regulatory bodies have created new rules that will impact how hospitals and healthcare providers own, operate and manage their real estate.
