In the change environment under healthcare reform, many hospitals and medical groups are more closely integrating themselves to enhance their position for accountable care. What risks do medical groups face as they integrate with hospitals? High-level planning is not a problem. The big challenge is execution. This presentation explains the nuts and bolts of hospital and group integration—clinical, financial, technological, and cultural. A case study of a recent merger illustrates critical moves and practical steps.
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to structure a joint planning committee for hospital and medical group integration; design a combined financial structure that maximizes reimbursement and cost efficiency; develop a combined IT platform that supports coordinated care and shared financial accountability; establish governance and management structures that ensure strong physician leadership within an integrated organization; and identify opportunities to integrate clinical process to create patient-centered accountable care.
