The journey to fee-for-value cannot be made alone.  Physicians play a key role in achieving the triple aim. Hospitals and health systems will need to learn new ways to strengthen their physician relationships using a variety of strategies and structures.  In this session, we will focus on different care and physician alignment models to engage physicians; including enhancing the success of medical foundations and outpatient clinics and implementing new care models such as the patient-centered medical home.

This session will enable attendees to:

• Describe at least three alignment models and list their strengths and weaknesses
• Identify critical success factors required to create effective physician-hospital alignment
