I think a lot of private health care-related companies often revolve around a single function (or just a few). I mean, they can’t really do the whole thing because it’s public.
Pretty sure this is just making it easier to eventually carve out. Like removing the wish bone from your Thanksgiving turkey before roasting it.
You see this all the time after a buyout.

In the states, it’s actually usually integrated except for nursing homes(continuing care in this model) and to a lesser extent behavioral and addiction (though that’s often integrated with acute care). In many places a single metro organization (like hopkins, frederick health, and meritus in maryland) will have all the other legs.
Being spread out just makes it harder to administer when private because you don’t have the whole pipeline to control.
