Overview: Quaternary-care academic health systems are increasingly acquiring community health systems and related medical groups. While bringing several benefits to the communities, such transactions are also fraught with challenges to align and integrate different cultures, missions, operations, incentives, and governance structures among the medical staffs and employed medical groups. This webinar explores the legal and operational challenges of clinical integration between academic and community medical groups through the lens of individuals who have structured these transactions and led the integrations.

Learning Objectives: 

  • Review items to consider in the Letter of Intent and Purchase Agreement to best accomplish integration goals
  • Understand the considerations, challenges, and effects of decisions to merge medical staffs (especially when one is a closed staff model)
  • Discuss medical group and academic department governance to accomplish successful integration and explore legal and operational challenges to align compensation and benefit structures
