title: At Kelsey-Seybold Clinic, unity in diversity.
abstract: Kelsey-Seybold Clinic (KSC), the Houston metro market's dominant physician organization, finds itself at a crossroads these days. As a tightly knit multispecialty group with strong physician leadership and significant opportunities for expansion in a rapidly-expanding healthcare market, KSC faces multiple challenges related to health plan consolidation and the ins and outs of capitation. Theirs is a situation epigrammatic of the challenges facing highly evolved medical organizations nationwide.
