In a healthcare environment where physicians are seeking alternative revenue opportunities which puts them in a competitive position with the Hospital, it is critical that Hospitals and Health Systems be proactive in pursuing physician alignment opportunities. Physician/Hospital Alignment planning results in Board, Hospital Administration, and physician leadership having a shared understanding of their specific competitive environment, the range of alignment strategies that may be pursued and a framework to make informed and strategic decisions.

The physician/hospital alignment planning will provide:

• An organizational position to support affective alignment
• Criteria to evaluate each alignment opportunity
• Legal and regulatory parameters
• Ability to respond to opportunities “in doctor’s time” and avoid the “slow no”

Development of the organization’s physician/hospital alignment position involves:

• Interviews with hospital and physician leadership
• Identifying goals and criteria for alignment
• Market and competitor analysis
• Work sessions with administration and physician leadership
• Presenting information on alignment strategies including regulatory implications and pros and cons
• Validating shared goals, deal makers and deal breakers
• Establishing criteria and protocols for evaluating future alignment opportunities and strategies
