Medical Staff Joins SCMS and MSSNY en masse. Can we achieve clinical integration?

The landmark vote to raise medical staff dues at Mather last week is the first step toward a more unified, energized, and effective medical staff. Providing the entire medical staff membership in the Suffolk County Medical Society and MSSNY is a visionary approach to an inclusive form of resistance and political change. But does it make us clinically integrated? An Advisory Board publication that reviews "Six strategies to Align with Independent Physicians in Value Creation" is now available.  Medical staff leadership will receive a copy of this paper at the next Mather Physician Executive Committee Meeting on August 19th in conference room 3 at 7 am. If you would like your own copy to review, know anyone else who is interested in clinical integration, or want to meet as a group around the study of accountable care and clinical integration, please contact me.
