PHYSICIAN NETWORK
DEVELOPMENT
Health systems and
hospitals continue to seek both preservation and expansion of their
referral base. As a result, many have chosen to develop their own
"brand name" physician networks. Some have been developed through
practice acquisitions or new site development or some combination of the
two. Some have been developed as primary care-only networks,
geographically dispersed throughout the market, while others have been
structured as multi-specialty physician networks designed to provide a
full continuum of care.
Developing a
physician network that more closely aligns the health system with its
physicians necessarily requires a broad array of analyses to explore all
potential opportunities.
Partners can assist
in all aspects of network development including:
-
Construction of
the network's strategic business plan
-
Definition of the
legal structure and operating relationships of various components
-
Development of a
practice acquisition strategy and/or site development plan
-
Design of
governance and management structures
-
Development of
operating and capital budgets
-
Central business
office design and development
-
Delivery of
alternative financing methods.
Having served in
executive positions with medical groups, health systems, and hospitals,
our consulting team has hands-on experience in physician network
development to ensure a well conceived business plan is developed and
executed.
