The return of gainsharing.
Hospitals may participate in gainsharing arrangements, but those arrangements should include safeguards that will minimize regulatory exposure. Gainsharing provides a powerful means by which hospitals and physicians can reconcile their conflicting economic interest while promoting quality of care. Hospitals are challenged to structure gainsharing arrangements so they maximize productive hospital-physician collaboration while minimizing the OIG's compliance concerns.
