Physician/Hospital Alignment

Are your hospital and physician staff committed to a well-defined, common strategy to continuously improve health care quality, cost efficiency, and the health of your community? If you think issuing W-2s to physicians is the way to get there, think again.

We offer solutions for health care providers with unique structures to motivate collaboration by all parties, including:

  • Facilitative, interactive platforms for launching the alignment dialogue
  • Design and implementation of recommended alignment, organizational, and governance strategies to maximize the return on the alignment investment
  • Coordination of vendor selection, leveraging of contracting expertise, and management of vendor relationships to efficiently incorporate disparate parties into the global alignment strategy
  • Capitalization strategies and partnership facilitation to launch new strategic objectives
  • Creation and negotiation of new payer relationships to maximize the return on the new care delivery models and partnerships
  • Outsourced compliance solutions for the alignment vehicle
  • Unique fee arrangements aligning the success of the recommended strategies with SHS’ engagement

Our “been there, done that” list includes virtual acquisitions; incentive compensation models for employed physicians; rewards for independent doctors committed to quality and patient satisfaction; gain-sharing; shared savings arrangements and bundled payments; professional physician staff models; co-management and other joint venture arrangements; IT networking; physician-hospital organizations; and provider-sponsored organizations.
