4th Annual Becker’s Hospital Board Review Meeting

VHA is proud to sponsor this exclusive conference, which brings together hospital business and strategy leaders to discuss how to improve hospital operations and the bottom line in these challenging but opportunity-filled times. The best minds in the health care provider field will discuss opportunities for hospitals plus provide practical and immediately useful guidance on ACOs, physician-hospital integration, improving profitability and key specialties.

In this new era of reimbursement pressures, hospitals are seeking to transform their operations to ensure high quality for patients and continued financial health for their organizations. Working with physicians to better understand utilization and align the products and process to improve the supply chain can significantly reduce costs, but can be a difficult and complex process.

In this session, Lani Berman, a clinical performance improvement specialist at VHA, Inc., will provide an overview of the strategies, challenges and results of various physician alignment programs undertaken by several VHA member hospitals. This presentation will look at the economic, clinical and operational goals and offer practical lessons-learned that could be applied by attendees toward their own physician integration initiatives.
