Accountable Care Organizations: The Challenge of Setting Strategy amid Uncertainty

Presented by Don Seymour, president, Don Seymour & Associates and Governance Advisor, and John Harris, Principal, DGA Partners

Wednesday, September 22, 2010
11:00am-12:00pm Pacific/2:00-3:00pm Eastern

Accountable care organizations are a significant part of the healthcare reform legislation. Beginning in January 2012, the concept behind ACOs is based on a strong case that integrated care can improve quality while decreasing costs. But the case was made based on the experience of a few, highly organized providers: Kaiser, Geisinger, Mayo, and 31 others. The healthcare landscape of the past 20 years is littered with the detritus of failed attempts to integrate providers. While attempts at greater integration will be in everyone's future, successful organizations will have to clear operational, financial, IT, cultural, and legal hurdles, including how to align with physicians. Those who ignore ACOs may be overtaken by competitors. This Webinar will examine these challenges and others boards will face, and provide advice on setting a clear organizational vision, the timing of major investments in these programs, and setting appropriate risk tolerance.

This 60-minute program will include a live question/answer session.

Go It Alone or Merge Into a Larger System: An Unavoidable Decision

Are independent hospitals and smaller health systems in danger of becoming extinct? The complexity and economics of the healthcare industry, coupled with the harsh reality that “life as we’ve known it” is not sustainable, have made this question a high priority for many healthcare organizations. More specifically, healthcare reform; limited access to capital; expensive technology requirements; competition from other health systems and your own physicians; and the necessity of sophisticated management to deal with reimbursement, cost-cutting, and regulatory challenges are just some of the pressures stimulating intense discussions among boards, executives, and physician leaders of independent hospitals and smaller health systems.
