Merger Dashboard Medical Specialist Care

This concerns a dashboard that quickly provides initial insights in the event of a concentration of hospitals (a concentration is a merger, acquisition or collaboration). The user enters data on the hospitals and market delineation. The dashboard interactively displays the operating area of the hospitals, helps to delineate the geographical market and, once selected, shows the market shares of the hospitals.

Goal and impact

The aim is to give ACM staff a first impression of the concentration (a merger, acquisition or cooperation) to be assessed. It is a simple algorithm and the impact is small, as the results are never conclusive and there are always many more sources of information involved in the assessment.

Considerations

These quick initial insights help the team get going faster and ensure they are well prepared for the conversations in the market. This is especially important because of the tight deadlines.


There is a risk that evaluators may take a wrong direction as a result. However, this is prevented by always conducting more extensive a complementary research and using multiple sources.

Human intervention

The outcomes are thoroughly tested through extensive research and consulting multiple sources. In addition, they can be easily adjusted if doubts arise.

Risk management

The risks are limited because the results are always tested against more extensive research in the merger assessment.

Legal basis

Merger supervision

Data

Aggregated healthcare claims data (cleansed of personal data)

Technical design

In Tableau, all kinds of visualisations (geographical plots, figures and tables) are generated based on aggregated source data and user input.
