PYA Principal David McMillan presented during The Knowledge Congress webinar, โThe Impact of Healthcare Reform in M&A,โ which discussed the fundamentals and significant developments related to mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and healthcare reform and was designed to help healthcare executives and professionals avoid related, common pitfalls and risk issues. The webinar also explored hospital network alliances as an alternative to traditional M&A including.
In January 2013, Catholic Health Initiatives began a multi-phase journey to develop a population health management solution across all of its regions. This presentation will describe the strategies the health system pursued for: creating a clinically integrated network as a first step in managing the health of populations and integrating care across the patient experience; aligning hospitals and physician groups to create successful clinical models; creating a data platform to share clinical measures and benchmarks; and ultimately becoming a risk-bearing shared savings ACO. Participants will hear real-world examples of best practices for how to meet FTC regulations, create an effective governance structure to manage performance, and align financial incentives. Learn how one of the nation's largest hospital systems developed a system-wide population health management solution in order to achieve the necessary transformation from fee-for-service to fee-for-value.

While shifting financial models is a major challenge facing healthcare, we can safely assume where that shift is heading. As it stands, there continues to be a paucity of good evidence as to how to run an effective Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) program, and definitive metrics on how it can lead to better outcomes. Thus, this shift is underway filled with far more expectations than answers.

A patient-centered approach to care delivery will bring the best health outcomes for individuals, as well as the community. While it is clear that effective population health management is integral to better health, providers can no longer be the sole proprietors of data and information. Improving a populationโs health will depend on strong alliances with community stakeholders that generally have not experienced a strong history of collaboration. In the new healthcare landscape, providers, payers and employers must partner to reduce cost, boost quality and improve the health of their shared populations. These new partnerships may start with a few glitches. However a strategic plan, clear objectives and an engaged, informed patient will smooth the path to improved outcomes.

In the coming years the United States will find themselves going through a number of changes within the Social Security Administration which will affect the Health Care Industry as we know it โHospital size has long been an area of discussion and debate in the U.S. healthcare industry. Questions have consistently focused on cost management or efficiency in large versus small hospitals. A persistent question among researchers is whether efficiencies are associated with larger facilities through economies of scale, or if there are alternate scenarios that play a significant part in hospital cost and efficiencyโ (2009, JHM). Since the Affordable Health Care Act was established it made obtaining health care much more affordable and accessible, but at the same time there has to be some cut back.

CRITICAL THINKING: NEW HOSPITAL PROPOSAL 2
Introduction
The system of healthcare in most of the countries is national based healthcare system whereby the government offers health care services to the public using governmental agencies. In Saudi Arabia for example, there are some growing private healthcare facilities. The government of many nations remains the full controller of the healthcare sectors both private and public. The private hospitals are both non-profit and profit for example in Saudi Arabia, most of these private hospital attracts several expats. Both the standards of both private and government hospitals are of more similarity. Some of the private healthcare facilities are of the world class but with poor health service delivery (Penm,2015).
Comparing and Contrasting the Legal Structure and Governance of the Profit and Non-profit international entities
Differences
The selected international entities include the Joint Commission International (non-profit), International Hospital Federation (non-profit) and the Kaiser Permanente (non-profit and profit). The legal structure of the Joint Commission International (JCI) follows the certification and accreditation of the hospital. The hospital must be evaluated first to see if the hospital complies with the standards and meets the activities needed by this entity. There are accreditation programs that any hospital must go through. This is then followed by the certification which can either be based on associated health care organization (Joint Commission, 2016). On the other hand, the International Hospital Federation requires a formal and documented request addressed to the Chief Executive Officer for one to be a member. The legal structure of Kaiser Permanente is consisting of two or three independent legal entities in each region of California (Finz, 2012). The applying employee must have been hired as a new Kaiser Permanente for an award-eligible post.
The governance of the International Hospital Federation is consisting of three organs i.e. the general assembly, governing council, and the executive committee. There are also the designated positions which consist of the president, chairman designate, immediate past president, treasurer, and the chief executive officer (International Hospital Federation, 2015). On the other hand, Kaiser Permanente is consisting of entities with each entity having its management and governance structure. There are regional entities and twelve Permanente Medical groups which were created by the Permanente Federation. The role of the Permanente is to standardized patient care as well as the performance (Finz, 2012). The governing of JCI is under the leadership of the President and the chief executive officer (Matt, 2011).

The Current Financial Environment in Healthcare and its Influence on Decision Making
It is essential that healthcare managers understand the external factors that have a profound influence on the practice of healthcare finance. A key factor to understanding healthcare finance is the knowledge of all the different and unique setting that provide health services. Healthcare services are provided in numerous settings, including hospitals, ambulatory care offices and clinics, long-term care facilities, and integrated delivery systems.
Hospitals afford diagnostic and therapeutic services to those who need more than several hours of care. Hospitals must be licensed by the state and undergo inspections for compliance with state regulations (Gapenski 2013). Most hospitals are accredited by The Joint Commission, which is intended to promote high standards of care. Accreditation provides eligibility for participation in the Medicare and Medicaid programs.
Hospitals are classified as either general acute care facilities or specialty facilities. General acute care facilities provide general medical and surgical services and selected acute specialty services (Gapenski 2013). These facilities account for most hospitals and have comparatively short spans of stay. Specialty hospitals limit the admission of patients to specific ages, sexes, illnesses, or conditions (Gapenski 2013). Specialty hospitals frequently sustain lower expenses than general hospitals because they do not need the overhead connected with providing various diverse forms of care and services.
Hospitals are classified by proprietorship as governmental, private not-for-profit, or investor owned. Government hospitals constitute 25% of all hospitals and are divided into federal and public entities. Federal hospitals serve special purposes such as DOD and VA hospitals. Public hospitals are funded wholly or in part by a city, county, tax district, or state. Federal and Public hospitals provide substantial services to indigent patients (Gapenski 2013). Private not-for-profit hospitals are nongovernment entities organized for the sole purpose of providing inpatient healthcare services (Gapenski 2013). Roughly 80% of all private hospitals are not-for-profit entities and 60% of all hospitals are private hospitals. For serving a charitable purpose, these hospitals obtain several benefits, including exemption from federal and state income taxes, exemption from property and sales taxes, eligibility to receive tax-deductible charitable contributions, favorable postal rates, favorable tax-exempt financing, and tax-favored annuities for employees. The residual 15% of all hospitals are investment-owned hospitals, whose titleholders profit directly from the revenues created by .

It further discusses opportunities presented as a result of the ACA and examples of how physicians and their practices can participate in these opportunities.

ย
DQ 3-2
Integrated health care delivery systems (IDS) was developed to initiate excellence health care access and quality of care to entire populations and community by collaborating and coordinating diverse healthcare professionals. Main driving force of IDS is patient centered care by using resources such as collaborating care from physicians and allied health care professionals to construct continuum of care, to deliver care in the most cost-effective way, utilize trained and competent providers by utilizing evidenced -based practice and combine innovation such as EHR (Electronic Health Records) system and team work to produce improved healthcare system.
Excellence in care is attainable by incorporating allied healthcare professional, as high quality care is possible when coordination is unified and covers all areas of responsibilities. For an example-combining resources and coordination of care by involving physicians, dietitian, physical therapy or occupational therapy to work with patient diagnosed with obesity by promoting teamwork approach and ultimately delivering endurance in care and utilizing various resources.
Barriers to IDS can be a huge block in delivering quality care. Among many one limitation is physicians not participating in integrated healthcare system, which disconnect physicians from team based approached by deterring continuous quality improvement (essentialhospitals.org, n.d). This is because, system such as EHR or new innovative quality assurance programs are time consuming ย and overwhelming, thus decline in physicians support in IDS programs. By implementing user friendly system approach, enforcing focused based care and accepting the necessity of evidenced based practice can improve these barriers. Hence, increasing clinical expertise to produce better service and quality of care in integrated delivery system.

In the US, there is not one type of health care system but rather a subset of systems, some of them catering to specific populations. These subsystems include managed care, military, and vulnerable populations. Managed care is a health care delivery system that seeks to achieve efficiency by integrating the basic functions of health care delivery, employs mechanisms to control utilization of medical services, and determines the price at which the services are purchased and how much the providers get paid, military health care system is available free of charge to active duty military personnel and covers preventative and treatment services that are provided by salaried health care personnel and this system combines public health with medical services, and vulnerable population subsystem offers comprehensive medical and enabling services targeted to the needs of vulnerable populations and government health insurance programs provide.

Introduction
A positive relationship between hospitals and physicians is important to the success of the US healthcare system, because hospitals and physicians can be both collaborators and competitors.
Many hospitals and healthcare systems have moved to various models of physician integration through which hospitals hope to capture market share and physicians seek financial security.
After the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was passed in 2010, physicianโhospital alignment became driven by another factor: cost control and quality outcomes in the accountable care era (Reiboldt 2013).
Physicians work in a wide range of settings and serve in leadership positions that have significant responsibility for quality of care.

In July 2018, NITI Aayog published a Strategy and Approach document on the National Health Stack. The document underscored the need for Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and laid down the technology framework for implementing the Ayushman Bharat programme which is meant to provide UHC to the bottom 500 million of the country. While the Health Stack provides a technological backbone for delivering affordable healthcare to all Indians, we, at iSPIRT, believe that it has the potential to go beyond that and to completely transform the healthcare ecosystem in the country. We are indeed headed for a health leapfrog in India! Over the last few months, we have worked extensively to understand the current challenges in the industry as well as the role and design of individual components of the Health Stack. In this post, we elaborate on the leapfrog that will be enabled by blending this technology with care delivery.

Patient Consent to the Use of Data: Are We Asking the Wrong Question?David Harlow
ย
In this presentation at #StrataRx 2013 I explore the notion of building big data analytics on top of a data store populated by health record information obtained as a result of patient requests. Why? Because doing it that way would bring the data out from under HIPAA and HITECH regulations. Patients could contribute as much or as little of the data as they wish, patients could be compensated for their contributions, and other pesky HIPAA restrictions would fall by the wayside. I used one company's newly-announced service as an example, but there are others in this space as well.

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
ย
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.
