Managed care is affecting and transforming every hospital and health system. In just a few short years, this trend has fueled an all-out race — to forge alliances and gain, or at least maintain, market share. What once was a seller’s market has become a buyer’s market, and trustees are faced with the challenge of keeping up with the constant changes.
On the Road to Managed Care explores several important factors that healthcare trustees must be aware of in defining their role and helping their institution succeed in the managed care environment. This video defines managed care, introduces a number of terms that are fast becoming part of today’s healthcare reality and discusses four critical areas of management, marketing, network and money that every trustee needs to consider regardless of where the hospital or system is heading.
You’ll hear from managed care consultant Brad Engle of William M. Mercer, Inc., Dr. Henry Miller, a hospital trustee and president of the Center for Health Policy Studies and Christopher Dadlez, executive vice president of the Saint Barnabas Health Care System.
