UPMC edges closer to Pennsylvania health system deal

Pittsburgh-based UPMC said it has entered into an integration and affiliation agreement with Washington (Pa.) Health System, according to an Oct. 23 filing.

The two signed a letter of intent in June regarding the partnership. Unions have criticized the move, saying it would harm both patients and workers.

UPMC will appoint about one-third of the Washington Health board directors and the system will be renamed UPMC Washington, according to the filing.

The proposed transaction still has to meet regulatory and closing conditions.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
