From Operational Chaos to High-Performing: The Right Path for Your Physician Network

Over the past few years, most hospital and health system physician networks have been in an accelerated growth mode – some in an all-out buying spree, taking all comers. These networks are finding themselves mired in operational chaos and experiencing huge financial losses — their growth in size and scope outstripping the capabilities of the network’s management infrastructure and systems.

HSG has engaged with healthcare organizations around the country to root out problems and chart a course for network performance improvement through a comprehensive network assessment/performance improvement initiative. This white paper discusses HSG’s comprehensive, two-phased diagnostic process to identify performance gaps, presents sample formats for data review and benchmarking and reviews the development of action plans and ongoing monitoring through dashboards.
