This document summarizes a presentation on healthcare mergers. It discusses:
1) Mergers involve transformational change and are driven by policy goals of increasing competition and efficiencies, though political factors also play a role.
2) Mergers can take different forms and patterns, and integrating cultures and managing people's anxieties during the process are important challenges.
3) Research on a large hospital merger found its effects on organizational culture persisted seven years later, and staff perceptions varied based on their role and tenure, with managers reporting less satisfaction.
4) The findings suggest that fully developing a new post-merger culture takes significant time, and support for staff health and tailored engagement are important to consider in the
Employing physicians has historically been a strategy used to retain volume and ensure physician availability. However, if your employment strategy focuses solely on these two issues, your hospital will miss a significant opportunity to achieve a dominant market position. Your employed group can be a competitive weapon that allows your organization to grow through the development of a more robust regional strategy, service line development, and the engagement of self-insured employers and other payers. In addition, your employed group can provide the hospital with a different level of physician leadership, and drive through-care processes and quality metric improvements, which will lead to real value for your organization.
This program will identify the various strategies that can make your employed group a “competitive weapon” as well as address how to move your group in a direction that will allow these strategies to be successful.
CFOs and chief medical officers (CMOs) can build on common traits to form productive partnerships in guiding healthcare organizations through the changes affecting the industry.
Organizations that understand the difference between management and leadership roles can better support the success of physicians who move out of their clinical practices and into different roles within healthcare.
The present study examines whether transformational leadership is associated with clan culture, affective commitment, and organizational citizenship behavior and whether affective commitment is positively related to organizational citizenship behavior.

Appreciative Inquiry
In the highly unpredictable global business environment, it is quite tempting to approach strategic decision making with a specific goal already in mind. In most cases, these strategies are aimed at mitigating the problems as they are problem-focused. Organizations typically focus on areas that are not working as intended while adopting a root cause mindset only to find themselves faced with a set of different, but related questions down the line. An appreciative inquiry model is one of the critical positive enterprise approaches to development and collective learning (Ruhe, Bobiak, Litaker, Carter, Wu, Schroeder, Zyzanski, Weyer, Werner, Fry, & Stange, 2011). An appreciative inquiry is a collaborative and strength-based approach that aims at changing the organizations and other human systems. One of the fundamental proponents behind the appreciative inquiry is that with time it has come to be increasingly adopted by organizations as to approach changes and growth from a problem-solving perspective. Form appreciative inquiry approach organizations should strongly focus on improving efficiency, surviving, and better performance and not just solving what is wrong, which is a deficit-based approach.
Appreciative inquiry in health care
The appreciative inquiry in the health care facility in which I work as a nurse will mainly focus on improving care services, especially to underserved women. The approach will focus on the positive and creativity as the driving forces for an improved future of healthcare services as is described and embraced for execution as an intervention for the achievement of behavioral health change at the individual levels. Guiding proponent for its application with clients is offered with an example of its use demonstrated in improving care services for the women of low economic status in improving their lifestyle.
Leadership skills to promote effective healthcare
Some of the qualities and skills that are useful in ensuring there is effective healthcare delivery include: great communication skills, being able to set the vision for the healthcare organization and emotional intelligence skills (Adair, 2016). The leaders should have people management skills which enables them to focus efforts of the healthcare workforce and resources towards a common goal. To make projects a success the leaders must have adequate knowledge and experience in project management such as budgetary skills and effective decision-making skills. Having effective analytical skills enable a leader to effectively analyze all possible alternatives that can make any project successful.

As health care and financing systems become more sophisticated, health care systems are increasingly using a process known as "risk tiering" to group patients with similar degrees of need for health care and care coordination services. Families and care providers of children with chronic and complex conditions should understand the risk tiering process, as it may affect access to services these children need.

2. Outline of the Presentation
• Mergers: Transformational change
• Policy context
• Are all mergers the same?
• Mergers route to success or failure?
• What happens to people during a merger?
• Why is it important to understand how organisational
culture develops in mergers?
• Research
• Questions
2
3. Mergers: Transformational Change+++?
• Transformational change: ‘Intentional change in how organisation
conducts its operations, affects the strategic position vis-à-vis its
competition’ (Smith, 2002)
• Definition of ‘Merger’ - the dissolution of one or more organisations and
their incorporation by another (includes acquisitions)
• 2012 Health and Social Care Act – Competition and Markets Authority
(CMA) ‘promotes competition for benefits of consumers’ and agree if
mergers can proceed
• Yet…decision to merge UK hospital ‘depends not just on financial or
clinical performance, as in a private market, but on national politics’
(Gaynor et al. (2012)
• …Leads some organisations into ‘managerial hubris’ over-confidence in
extent of benefits likely from the merger (Choi and Brommels 2009)
3
4. Policy Context
• NHS Mergers since 1948 (Health Foundation, 2014)
• Working for Patients (1989) internal market, realise efficiencies through competition,
• Regionally - The Tomlinson Report (1992) - pairs of vulnerable organisations -
University College & Middlesex (2005), St Bartholomew's & Royal London (2012), St
Thomas's & Guy's (1993)
• Five Year Forward View (FYFV) (2014) Three gaps - Disproportionate spend on acute
care, funding should be diverted to secondary care to raise standards. Variety in service
models to address financial challenges – Vanguards
– Viability of small hospitals as standalone health providers, pursue new forms, such
as merged entities or new models of care (DH, 2014)
• Devolution - Transfer of powers and decisions usually be taken by Government or
national bodies to more local level, Devo Manc
• Sustainability and Transformation Plans (STPs) (2016)– 5 year national strategy , place-
based heath & social care addressing three gaps in FYFV
• NHS Improvement and NHS England (2016) Back office consolidation, unsustainable
clinical services, review of specialised commissioned services
4
5. Levels and Patterns of Mergers
• Two levels of mergers:
– Vertical
– Horizontal
• Three main merger patterns (Schoennauer (1967)
– Assimilation or absorb: Low status group absorbed into higher status
group - accounts for majority of mergers
– Integration: Blend of former identities that remain distinctly
recognisable
– Transformation: Identities of former organisations combined, new
identity bears no resemblance to formers, wholly new organisational
identity is formed
Mergers increase organisational size and complexity:
Several disadvantages: Remoteness of senior managers, loss of
informality, decreased autonomy and delegated decision making, poorer
communication (Fulop et al, 2005) , also needs funds for merger costs
5
6. Mergers: Route to Success or Failure?
• Half of mergers fail (Weber and Drori, 2011)
– 17% add value,
– 30% produce no discernible difference,
– 53% destroy value (KPMG, 1992)
• Different view - depends on how terms are defined (DePamphilis, 2012)
• Mergers rarely between organisations of equal size or prestige (Giessner,
2006)
• Kings Fund (2015) reviewed 20 mergers 2000-15:
– often response to failure/FT regime progress
– few financially stable
– rarely deliver radical clinical change
• Performance limited evidence of positive impact across multiple metrics
(Gaynor et al., 2012)
• Substantial risks - Introduction ITC, reconciliation of legacy systems in
early post-merger period poses
• Measurement should be seven years post-merger (Quah and Young,
2005)
6
7. What Happens to People during a Merger?
• Staff anxiety pre-merger, associated with uncertainties
regarding future jobs
= Self-survival behaviour, can negatively impact performance
• ‘We won’ tension leading to value judgements (Fulop et al,
2005)
• Staff support mergers that best serve their interests and pose
least threat to continuity of status and identity
• Workforce important in stabilisation and integration - Staff play
significant, under-estimated, role in success /failure (Schuler &
Jackson, 2001)
• Compelling vision - Move to action, changes behaviours, focuses
on priorities, follow path leader lays out: content, context,
credibility, and the ability to engage key stakeholders (Gantz,
2009)
• Speed of change influences ability to adapt – if too rapid
inhibits successful re-engineering of culture (Kavanagh &
Askkanasy, 2006)
7
8. Why is it important to understand how
Organisational Culture Develops in Mergers?
• Organisations ‘mini-societies’ (Morgan, 1997), distinct cultures and sub-
cultures, rarely single, consistent culture (Howard-Grenville, 2006)
• Body of evidence culture influences performance
• ‘Culture clash’ where one groups believes their way of doing a specific
task is better than other groups
– Such differing opinions may lead to low morale and other workforce
issues, as members attack and defend their positions (Seo 2005).
• During periods of transformational change organisations start to question
their identity
• Organisational identity = individual values and organisational values in
close fit, (Dutton & Dukerich, 1991) ‘belonging to or having oneness with
the organisation’ (Ashforth & Mael, 1989)
8
9. Research: How does Organisational Culture develop in a
Merger and what are the Factors of Influence?
• Research study Harvard School of Population Health & Imperial College,
*understanding culture one aspect of the study
• Evidence gap – few studies exploring people factor in health mergers
• Why the study is important
– Despite other options we keep on doing mergers!
– Policy direction .. We keep on promoting mergers!
– What can we do differently to increase success?
• Mixed methods study - quantitative core component to gather evidence, qualitative
component to offer insight on emerging knowledge
– Institutional logics – theoretical lens
– Case study design
– Systematic literature review
– Comprehensive validated survey tool – 4 parts
– Descriptive and inferential statistics
– Stakeholder post-results interviews
9
10. Case study
• Merged in 2007, two
teaching trusts
• Following failed ‘campus
partnership’ for one of
the trusts
• Strongly driven by
academic partner
• 5 main hospital sites
• £1b turnover
• 10, 00 staff
• Largest NHS merger at
the time

12. Survey: Organisational Culture & Identity
12
Organisational Culture Survey; Denison
From literature review - Key variables for testing:
• Pre & post merger status,
• staff band,
• clinical & non-clinical
Inclusion: employees a team more than
100 staff
Demographic details: main site, length
of tenure, type of contract, date
employment commenced (to identify
pre- and post- merger employees),
division, specialty, staff group and grade
either AfC 1 to 6 or bands 7+
(category band 7+ and above includes all
doctors and differentiates largely
between non-managers (1 to 6)
managers (7 and above)

14. Results: Difference in Mean Survey Scores
Independent t-tests looking for differences between the mean scores of
survey responses - Higher scores = higher satisfaction
Organisational Culture
• Pre- and Post-Merger Significant difference, p<0.01 post-merger group
reporting higher scores
• Staff Band significant difference, p < 0.0001 bands 1-6 group reporting
higher scores
• Occupational group significant difference, p < 0.0001
clinical group reporting higher scores
14
15. Results Regression – Predictors of
Organisational Culture
• Multivariable linear regression
• Organisational culture scores can be predicted based on:
– pre- and post-merger appointment
– occupational group
– staff band
– statistically significant - p = 0.000 (R square 0.24)
15
16. Qualitative Research: What Factors might be
Contributing to the Results?
• Sample - 30 individuals likely to be able to contribute to
developing views across stakeholders, hierarchical and
occupational groups
• Response Rate - From the 30 - 19 respondents agreed to
participate in the interviews, response rate 63%
• Method – semi-structured, face: face interviews with 68%
(n=13), 32% (n=6) telephone interviews, recorded,
transcribed, analysed using ‘framework approach’
• Demographic - 47% appointed to the Trust pre-merger, 52%
joined after the merger

Thematic Analysis of Interviews
Organisational turbulence
Ability to act/control own
destiny
‘New people don’t know
the history, the bad
feeling and any of the
turbulence that
everybody went
through when the
change occurred
‘Because
it’s the
survival of
the fittest’
It’s a lot of stress for
these people Their
work/life balance is
not very balanced at
all…work takes over
100% … there can’t
be fulfilment and
happiness”
‘Changes in
CEO have
always had a
huge impact on
perceptions.”
‘When we were merged
professional groups were
pushed together. Rather than
just being one tribe of let’s
say nurses, there were two
tribes, and those two tribes
have to form the one tribe
and they have their own ways
of doing things and their own
particular base of working
and that has all changed for
them.”
17
18. Contribution to Knowledge on Mergers
• New Evidence
– Effects of a merger on staff perceptions of organisational culture exist
seven years after the merger was completed
– A new merged entity culture may require a considerable period of
time to be achieved
– Staff reach ‘recovery and adaption’ at different times following a
merger – affected by their hierarchical positioning
– Staff in management posts reported less positive perceptions of the
organisation’s culture
• Contribution to Policy
– Lasting effects of a merger on organisational culture
– Health and wellbeing of staff going through mergers may influence
staff experience and adaptability to the changes – support should be
included in merger programme
– Culture is experienced differently by staff, staff engagement should be
tailored to all staff groups in mergers
18
19. What do the Results Mean: Policy, Practice and
Guidance for Merged Organisations?
• Don’t underestimate time to develop culture’ of merged organisation 7 yrs
• Don’t underestimate time takes to realise the benefits of the merger 7yrs ..
association?
• Key characteristics of workforce influence how they perceive the culture of
new organisation and can predict how staff perceive culture:
• Pre-merger appointed staff less satisfaction with new culture
• Non-managerial staff appear to experience shorter bursts of stress, largely
around contractual changes
• Managers appear to experience prolonged periods of stress , less satisfaction
with culture
• Clinical staff experience higher satisfaction with culture than non-clinical –
‘intrinsic values’, less disruption to contracts
• Compelling vision to mobilise staff - perceptions and motivating forces
• Tailor staff engagement
• Consider staff health and wellbeing strategy in the pre and post merger plans 19
20. Q. How do these findings translate to
transformational change and its effects on staff
in establishing vanguards and new models of
care?
