CLINICAL INSTITUTES
The Clinical Institute is a proactive and flexible physician integration and alignment
vehicle reflecting the unique needs of the health system, its physicians and the local
community. Institutes are designed to improve clinical outcomes, grow market share and
reduce costs.
Benefits of a Clinical Institute alignment strategy include:
- Growth in market share
- Coordinated continuum of care directed at disease management
- Clinical and economic alignment between physicians and hospital
- Improved consumer preference and satisfaction
- Preferred payer contracting
The three phases of Clinical Institute development include:
- Exploration of physician interest and market opportunity
- Development of a business and implementation plan
- Institute formation and implementation
