These are challenging times for California health care providers. Competitive pressures and regulatory changes require providers to improve quality of care and deliver cost-effective services simultaneously. To meet these goals, hospital management, physicians, and medical staff must evolve to overcome the traditional business practices and individual interests that divide them. In order to remain competitive, health care organizations must develop and adopt new business models and processes for alignment.
Foley & Lardner LLP, The Camden Group, Huron Consulting Group, and The Pinnacle Group presented a one-day seminar that examined current and future business models for successfully aligning hospitals, physicians, and medical staff in California. Through in-depth discussions of real-life case studies, our speakers shared how health care organizations are implementing practical alignment strategies to position themselves for success in this difficult economic environment.
Topics included:
- Case studies of successful alignment tools, including a comparison of 1206(l) medical foundations and 1206(d) clinics
- Proven compensation methods and strategies to attract and retain the best physicians
- A review of models that hospitals and physicians are using to improve quality measurements and outcomes
