Key Topics: System Integration
Between the health system and the physician enterprise
System integration is the process of combining different systems and applications into a unified, cohesive whole. The goal of system integration is to improve efficiency, reduce redundancies, and enable seamless information sharing across an organization.
For health systems, integration challenges are centered around the relationship between the health system and the physician enterprise. In the past decade, the percentage of physician practices owned by hospitals and health systems has nearly tripled, now standing at over 60%. Yet, many health systems struggle to maximize the value from this substantial investment. Even high-performing systems face challenges inherent in the convergence of hospital and physician enterprises, including throughput, care transitions, system-wide awareness, change management, fiscal resilience, access, and workforce.
