The Klaar Institute
Many factors are emerging to further complicate the already difficult process of delivering quality health care. Declining reimbursement and increased costs have plagued providers for some time. Add in high-deductible health plans, baby boomers becoming Medicare eligible, physician shortages, and a slumping economy - and things start to change dramatically. The result has been significant consolidation and the retailing of the health care industry.
At the Klaar Institute, we believe that physicians, hospitals, and other health care providers must develop strong relationships in order to prosper in the future. We have extensive experience working with physician groups and hospitals who are developing collaborative initiatives, and we have identified several characteristics that are common to successful partnerships: Strong physician leadership; Aligned hospital and physician financial and patient care incentives; compensation models that reward physician productivity and organizational involvement; Dedicated management expertise and support; and Fair and transparent governance.
