Event: Where do hospitals and physicians go from here? Latest developments in hospital/physician integration

The health care industry continues to operate in a sea of uncertainty as various health reform proposals are proffered and debated without resolution at national and state levels. Sitting on the sideline and waiting for clarity may not be the right strategy. We believe that the trend toward greater hospital/physician integration will continue irrespective of any “health reform.”

This session is designed to help hospital and physician leaders chart a way forward together despite this changing landscape. Specifically, the session will feature discussions around:

• The key trends in the industry, including their implications for hospitals, physicians and other industry stakeholders
• An overview of the market forces driving physicians and hospitals to increase their integration, such as: pay for performance and bundled payments, and the emerging models of integration
• A “deep dive” into clinical integration, including the legal, financial and strategic issues

To evolve for the future, hospitals and physicians need to understand the advantages of joining in a clinically and financially integrated entity. Join us to learn the process necessary for successfully achieving integration. This session will also offer specific guidance about Federal Trade Commission requirements and how to avoid legal and compliance problems that arise from flawed integration efforts.
