title: Mergers--true integrations.
abstract: This article is the second of a two part series on clinical consolidation in mergers. Part 1 addressed typical consolidations that occur in mergers and why clinical consolidation is so often overlooked. It discussed the quality and efficiencies improvements that can occur if clinical consolidation is carried out successfully. Part 2 details the steps of the clinical consolidation process that, if undertaken early and involving physicians and staff, will lead to a successful outcome.
