I am entrepreneur, so I see the business world primarily through an entrepreneur’s eyes. My role as CEO of BHN takes me inside many large hospitals and clinics. I am always amazed at how capital intensive these operations are. They have a device or machine for everything, and all the people with the right skills to operate the equipment as well. As an entrepreneur, this just does not make sense to me. As entrepreneur I've learned to look at capital as a very precious resource. For hospitals, it certainly makes sense to have certain devices/equipment present for critical care needs (i.e. a defibrillator), but for other assets it does not make sense. It would seem more logical and cost effective to share some of these capital-intensive resources with other locations or even other hospitals.
