Successful Physician-Hospital Integration – A Case Study

Thursday, February 7, 2013

Join us for Part 1 of a 3-part webinar series on physician practice management sponsored by the American Hospital Association’s (AHA) Physician Leadership Forum in partnership with MGMA-ACMPE. As the number of hospitals purchasing or affiliating with medical groups continues to increase, the complexities of integrating two separate organizations is expanding. A growing concern for hospitals and medical groups is how to develop a system for aligning medical groups with the institutional mission. 

In this first session, participants will learn about how a large 100-provider, faith-based multispecialty practice integrated with a successful community hospital. Participants will learn how the medical group and hospital addressed issues including legal structure, governance, valuation, management structure and culture, and how these two organizations successfully integrated.
 
This session will provide you with the knowledge to:

  • Examine the various components influencing integration
  • Examine the key components guiding successful integration
  • Review impact of strategy, governance, culture, and communication
