title: Modeling the impact of healthcare reform.
abstract: To succeed in today's changing environment, hospitals and health systems must gain new competencies in the areas of physician integration, care management, information systems, service distribution, payer relationships, and scale/market essentiality. Organizations should model the potential impacts of healthcare reform and market forces on volume, capacity, payment, and other variables likely to change. They also should thoroughly examine the cumulative projected impact of strategic initiatives and reform-related changes.
