Overview: All hospitals are facing unprecedented challenges with the pressures of cost reduction, maintaining quality / patient satisfaction, and developing integrated networks of care. The rural and community hospital has unique challenges in these arenas, which can ultimately effect the very viability of the institution. Trustees have more responsibilities than ever before. Critical decisions regarding service lines, medical staff availability and engagement, and tertiary care support are now top of mind. Dr. Berkowitz will discuss these issues and offer best practices on how the community hospital can continue high quality care throughout these difficult times.

  • Review the importance of incorporating best practices into every service line offered.
  • Discuss cost reduction strategies in partnership with the physicians, and how to maximize CMI
  • Discuss how to enhance the process of continuation of care seamlessly across the community
  • Review the role of risk and risk products in the community setting
  • Discuss the importance of a hospital- physician strategy - staffing and employment versus contract
  • Review the options for partnering with tertiary care systems - and what is best for your institution
