title: Clinical integration and the CFO.
abstract: Healthcare CFOs should consider five strategies for promoting clinical integration: Seize the opportunity to work with physicians in demanding credible payment models from payers. Collaborate with physicians in redesigning compensation models and processes of care. Establish financial relationships with physicians who are not employed by the hospital or health system. Develop data-sharing relationships with referral sources. Become actively involved in creating an articulated, transparent approach to capacity control.
