Topics: Physician Issues
The Advisory Board’s Physician Practice Roundtable provides independent physician organizations with the best practices, expert insights, and strategic decision-support resources needed to execute successful strategic planning, operations improvement, technology investment, and executive networking.
Through reports, presentations, analytical tools, discussion forums, and direct access to 150+ topical experts, the Physician Practice Roundtable delivers actionable guidance to elevate practice performance and help answer the most pressing questions facing independent health care providers:
- How will payment reform initiatives and the national budget crisis impact the independent practice business model?
- What implications could coverage expansion, shared savings initiatives, and bundled payments have on your organizations—and what new competencies will you need to manage contracts with performance and utilization risk?
- How do you implement the primary care medical home model in a financially sustainable manner that works in both fee-for-service, as well as value-driven payment models?
- What are the pros and cons of different hospital alignment models for your group?
- How can you evolve physician compensation to increase the performance of your medical group?
- How will risk-based payment models affect imaging utilization?
- How can you create best-in-class revenue cycle operations?
