Click Here to View Learning Objectives
Integration of community practices into larger organizations has become common practice in today’s financially struggling healthcare world. This session will explore one organization’s experience of evaluating finances, productivity, and salaries, and integrating more than 20 community primary care practices and 80 doctors into its system. The presenters will explore in detail an approach Cleveland Clinic has taken to meet the challenge.
At the conclusion of the session, participants will be able to articulate the evaluation process necessary to integrate a practice into their organization; describe why the culture of the group employment model is important to quality, patient safety, and financial stability for an organization; and assess whether their own organization might benefit from employing a similar tactic.
