Research briefing from the Health Care Advisory Board

Hospitals and health systems have long relied on a common clinical network strategy: amass as many physicians as possible.

But this strategy is based on three outdated assumptions:

Physicians serve as patients’ health care agents. More physicians in our network means more patients.
There’s a scarcity of patient talent. Physicians who aren’t with us are against us.
We face a limited set of competitors. We compete with organizations that look like us, namely other hospitals and ambulatory care sites.

Download our new briefing to see why these old assumptions no longer hold true and learn how leading organizations are deploying the clinical workforce of the future.
