Massachusetts Physician Practice Alliance Expands Affiliations With Beth Israel

Atrius Health, an alliance of five, non-profit community physician practices in eastern Massachusetts, has expanded its affiliation with Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston in an effort to improve efficiency while maintaining quality, according to a report by the Boston Globe.

As part of the deal, Beth Israel will ensure hospital care of Atrius’s heart and cancer patients as well as other patients with “complex needs,” according to the report. Internists from the three offices of Boston-based Harvard Vanguard, Atrius’s largest physician practice, are expected to send more patients to Beth Israel.

The two groups are also planning to collaborate on quality improvement and efficiency efforts.
