Hospital Chain to Step Up Acquisitions: Tenet Healthcare Corp. is looking to buy more hospitals, physician groups and information systems, Chairman and Chief Executive Jeffrey Barbakow said. The nation’s second-largest for-profit hospital chain already has announced four transactions since March, when Tenet, formerly National Medical Enterprises Inc., acquired American Medical Holdings for $3.3 billion. Santa Monica-based Tenet plans to vary its acquisition strategies, building integrated health care delivery systems in some markets while remaining more of a niche hospital company in others, Barbakow said.
