Engagement

Engagement Setup

An Africa-focused healthcare management, investment & advisory firm integrating clinical leadership, financial discipline & governance expertise to develop, operationalize & scale sustainable healthcare assets.

Engagement data is saved automatically to the MedSpec server as you work, with version history retained. Use Export data file to take an off-platform archive copy for the engagement folder on OneDrive, and Import data file to load a prepared data set.

These details drive report headers, currency labels and scope across the platform.

Purpose of due diligence

The purpose drives the recommendation framework: a management mandate assessment asks whether and how MedSpec should take the asset on; a buy-side assessment asks whether a third party should purchase it and what return the hold can deliver.

Scope of due diligence

Assessment benchmarks

Set the reference thresholds used by the analysis engine. Defaults reflect common private hospital operating norms; replace them with market-specific or client-agreed benchmarks for each engagement.

Workstream coverage

The platform is structured on the three pillars of healthcare asset due diligence. Commercial and operational workstreams follow the structure of a typical institutional terms of reference; technical workstreams cover the physical asset base.

        Data Intake

        Standard workflow: download the data request template, issue it to the target entity as part of the information request list, and import the completed workbook here. The template fixes definitions and units so the entity normalises its own data. Manual entry and row-level correction remain available below, and every analytical output is derived from the entity's actuals, not generic assumptions.
        Analysis

        Commercial Due Diligence

        Revenue trajectory

        Reported revenue by period with compound growth.

          Theatre activity and cancellations

          Case volumes with cancellation rate overlay.

          Indicative operational observations

            Analysis

            Technical Due Diligence

            Equipment age profile

            Installed equipment relative to stated useful life.

            Infrastructure condition and capex

            Condition scoring of the physical asset base with remediation capex.

            Licensing and compliance register

            Indicative technical observations

              Reporting

              Findings and Risk Register

              Findings plotted by impact and likelihood.

              Findings by severity

Tick the pathway or pathways the engagement team recommends: multiple selections are allowed (for example, consulting first, then a management contract), and the selection carries into the report.

                  Engine view

                  Rule-based decision support computed from pillar maturity, findings severity and the financial data. It informs, and never replaces, the engagement team's judgement below.

                      Analysts can view and enter engagement data. Master accounts additionally manage users and view the audit trail. Accounts are disabled, not deleted, so their audit history is preserved.

                      Add user

                      Audit trail

                      Every sign-in, failed attempt, data save, export, print and administrative action is recorded with timestamp (UTC), user and IP address.

                      Saved revisions

                      The last 50 saved versions of the engagement data are retained. Restore loads a revision as the current working state, recorded in the audit trail.
