    • Diversification can be related (expanding healthcare services) or unrelated (entering non-healthcare markets).
    • A structured evaluation process is essential for selecting viable diversification options.
    • Legal and financial due diligence is critical before implementing diversification strategies.

    Conclusions:

    • Diversification can enhance a hospital's revenue base and ensure long-term viability.
    • While not suitable for all institutions, diversification is a strategic consideration for many hospitals.
    • Proactive diversification planning helps hospitals confront environmental pressures and secure their future.
