Provider alliances: key to healthcare reform.
No matter what form healthcare reform takes, managed care is the future of health care, and the future is now. Hospitals and physicians will have to work together as partners and align incentives. It will be necessary to develop more primary care capability to adequately compete in the managed care arena. There will need to be increased coordination of managed care contracting between hospitals and physicians.
