Emerging Strategies for Hospital-Physician Alignment and their Implications for Capital Projects

Hospitals and physicians have become direct competitors in many markets. As physician incomes shrink, medical groups have been pressed to find alternative sources of income, often at the expense of hospitals. Although equity joint ventures have their place, they have been overused and misused and rarely achieve long-term strategic alignment. In recent years, a variety of non-equity arrangements have evolved that have a track record of clinical and business success, as well as legal compliance.

This webinar will identify specific hospital service lines that are adaptable to block leases, clinical co-management agreements and alternative employment arrangements. As hospitals and physicians embrace these and other models of cooperation there will be fundamental changes in how new and existing facilities are planned and developed. Shared use facilities will require different configurations and capital structures to satisfy pertinent laws and regulations. This webinar will explain what is already being done around theU.S. to address these trends, why every hospital needs to understand these models, and how they differ from traditional hospital-physician arrangements. Most importantly the webinar will provide valuable insight into how the capital markets view these developments.
