This case focuses on major strategic challenges faced by Tenet Healthcare (Tenet), a US-based health care provider, in 2014. It discusses major changes to the health care provider industry over the previous decade - customer, demographic, reimbursement, structural, technological, financing, and regulatory - and raises questions related to the strategic direction Tenet should pursue in response to these changes. The case emphasises two primary decisions to be taken by Tenet: 1) The acquisition of Vanguard Health Systems (Vanguard), another US-based health care provider, in 2012; 2) Portfolio management for Tenet's primary business units (acute-care hospitals, outpatient facilities, health plans, and Conifer Health Solutions) in 2014.
