Becker’s Hospital Review Special Compensation Issue; Accountable Care Organizations; Upcoming Becker’s Healthcare Events
June Issue. We are pleased to share with you the June special issue of Becker’s Hospital Review. This “Special Compensation Issue” features more than 300 statistics and benchmarks on hospital executive and physician compensation. It also includes two of our most popular annual lists, “100 Great Places to Work in Healthcare” and “100 Great Hospitals” featuring outstanding healthcare organizations across the country of all sizes and types that have demonstrated excellence. Also included in this issue are Q&As with two leading hospital executives: Amir Rubin, CEO of Stanford Hospital & Clinics and Dr. Jeffrey Steinberg, CEO of Weiss Memorial Hospital in Chicago, part of Vanguard Health Systems. Both share their insight on challenges facing their organizations and opportunities ahead for healthcare delivery.
ACOs. CMS recently announced the names of 27 organizations which will be the first to participate in the agency’s Medicare Shared Savings Program. These organizations join 32 Pioneer Accountable Care Organizations and other commercial ACOs currently in operation across the country. CMS is continuing to accept applications for the MSSP. While the future success of the ACO model is one that is still hotly debated, there are certainly a number of health systems that have not been afraid to embark on testing the model. In this issue, you’ll find a handful of stories directly related to effective ACO operations including: “8 Biggest Mistakes an ACO Can Make” and “7 Steps to Navigate Payment Allocation Under ACOs.”
Upcoming events. If your hospital or health system operates or has joint ventured on an ambulatory surgery center or is considering doing so, please save the date for our 19th Annual Ambulatory Surgery Centers Conference, October 25-27, 2012, at the Swissotel Chicago. The conference is the premier event for ASC business and legal issues and brings together hundreds of surgery center owners and operators. More information is available at www.BeckersASC.com.
