Physician-Facility Alignment
At IPC we view physician-facility alignment as a mutually beneficial partnership between our providers and the facilities where we practice. This ensures that IPC creates optimal value for the facility while delivering high quality care for the patients. We build this partnership through a joint commitment of time and resources, shared interests and aligned incentives consistent with the goals, objectives and core values of each facility.
St. Mary’s Health Center in St. Louis is an excellent example of how IPC provides leadership on the vital issue of physician-hospital alignment. Philip Vaidyan, M.D., one of the American College Of Physicians Hospitalists of the Year for 2009, headed this outstanding effort. Please read this case study, which contains supporting evidence demonstrating the kind of results that IPC can deliver to our hospital clients -- to the benefit of all stakeholders.
