ACO Udpate: Issue #6
July 24, 2011

Posted by chcablogadmin in : Financial Viability, Healthcare Reform, Leadership

In this edition of ACO Update we talk with Steven Altschuler, President and CEO, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Steve once again candidly outlines his strong vision and market strategy for CHOP including their expansion plans and 10-year, $2 billion initiative to invest in facilities, services and infrastructure by the year 2020. CHOP’s vision is a complete transformation from a “children’s hospital located in a major U.S. city into a large regional network of pediatric care anchored by a children’s hospital delivering the most specialized pediatric care available anywhere in the world.” Steve also shares three effective strategies for almost any children’s hospital to operate and even prosper, in today’s economic climate.

In case you missed it earlier this month, I’ve included a link to our April ACO call with Mary Dale Peterson, M.D., President and CEO, Driscoll Children’s Health Plan. Dr. Peterson provides an overview of the integration efforts and ACO framework at Driscoll. 

I welcome your comments and suggestions as well as your questions. Please feel free to contact me directly.
