Health care market dynamics are dramatically changing. To help meet the market’s evolving demands, health care providers are looking to new integrated models for health care delivery. Only hospitals that are tightly aligned with a critical mass of physicians—whether they are employed, contracted or independent—will be able to organize their delivery systems to meet consumer demands for price, quality and efficiency. Learn the keys to achieving alignment.

Drivers, Design & Strategy
InterAct Express
U.S. healthcare market dynamics will challenge the traditional models of health care delivery. These pressures are likely to encourage more provider-side consolidation: physicians and hospitals. Alternatively, physicians consolidate to form larger clinical care and business models and compete directly for markets and revenue. This course is designed to provide an introduction to design, management and strategy of integrated health systems. Order course as a separate module »
