Dramatic changes to the structure of health systems since the 1980s
has seen the development of large, integrated health organizations
designed to provide scale and scope advantages, improve the quality
of care and health outcomes, and provide greater bargaining power
relative to payers and large employers. This transition has led to
greater interest in understanding hospitals and health systems as
complex systems. Two important themes emerged from this effort: 1.
Creation and organization of physician-health organizations, and
alignment of these organizations with hospital or system structure;
and 2. Viewing health care organizations as complex systems,
leading to new perspectives on design and management of these
organizations. In Volume 15, Reuben McDaniel and L. Robert Burns,
authors of two influential articles on these themes from earlier
volumes of AHCM, revisit the evolution of health systems
organization in light of regulatory and organizational evolution in
health care, including the Patient Protection and Accountable Care
Act of 2010, and increasing consolidation of health systems. Five
additional refereed papers assess the latest evidence on physician
integration, complexity, and system redesign.
System wide health reform has become the norm across the globe,
forcing health care delivery organizations to critically examine
the ways in which they are structured and operate on a day to day
basis. Resource scarcity has become common while at the same time,
quality and clinical outcomes become the basis upon which these
organizations are measured and compared with one another. This
volume of "Advances in Health Care Management" includes
contributions from key academic thought leaders from around the
world who critically examine how health reform impacts the macro,
meso and micro level strategy and policy decisions of healthcare
organizations.
