An increasing share of healthcare payment now carries downside risk, and CMS has signaled more to come: greater provider-held risk, more mandatory models and quality reporting with real financial consequences.
But the pressure isn’t confined to value-based care. The same network gaps surface across the P&L — referrals that leave the network, quality performance that now gates payment, documentation that varies across sites and cost driven by decisions no one sees until the claims return.
These look like separate problems, but they share one root cause. Most networks combine employed physicians, affiliated groups and independent practices; they’re accountable as one entity, yet executing as separate organizations.
This strategy-level conversation is for the executives accountable for that entity — chief strategy, network, operations, population health and finance leaders — and takes on the question most strategies leave unanswered: how leaders drive consistent execution across organizations they don’t own, without the burden that causes practices to disengage.
Join to learn:
- Why performance varies more by site than by strategy
- Why network performance is a revenue question, not only a value-based care one
- What earns sustained participation from affiliated and independent practices
- How executives shape referral and site-of-service decisions as one-at-a-time integration reaches its practical limit
