Physician-Hospital Alignment
Over the years, the depth and functionality of relationships between hospitals and their medical staff have been key contributors to the overall performance of healthcare delivery systems. The importance of physician-hospital alignment has been magnified by the recently passed Healthcare Reform legislation which will hold healthcare providers increasingly financially accountable for the cost, coordination, and quality provided to patients across providers and sites-of-care. As the healthcare industry begins to implement value-based purchasing and accountable healthcare delivery systems, hospitals and health systems will need to utilize a variety of both formal and informal physician-hospital relationships to optimize the care provided to patients.
