  • Title: Costs and benefits of integrated healthcare systems.
    Author: Coddington DC, Moore KD, Fischer EA.
    Journal: Healthc Financ Manage; 1994 Mar; 48(3):20-4, 26, 28-9. PubMed ID: 10145966.
    Abstract:
    Although forming an integrated healthcare system can be extremely expensive, many hospitals and physician groups are discovering that by doing so, they can reap significant benefits, including increased market share, more secure physician income, and better physician "quality of life," a financially stronger organization, and an enhanced ability to adapt to the changing healthcare environment. In most cases, the return on the investment required to reorganize the physician, hospital, and healthcare plan relationship is likely to be substantial.
