Moving beyond generic integration models.
Rigid adherence to generic models of integration often fails because healthcare executives and physicians have not laid a proper foundation for integration. A series of building blocks must be in place before an integrated delivery system can be properly implemented. These building blocks are essential for management of integrated systems so physicians, executives, and managers can respond effectively to the needs of purchasers and patients.
