The Healthcare Provider Chess Game: Strategy & Tactics for Hospitals/CAHs and their Ambulatory Care Venues

How hospitals and healthcare systems position their inpatient and ambulatory care patient venues relative to each other – organizationally, operationally and geographically – and how those venues interface with various regulatory programs – Medicare, Medicaid, licensure, 340B, etc. – can make a significant difference in financial and strategic results. These topics will be addressed in the context of case studies of hospital and health system operational strategies and tactics, including: HwHs, multi-campus hospitals and remote locations, micro hospitals, free standing EDs, grandfathered versus new provider based sites, and 340B optimization.
