A physician-hospital organization provides a vehicle for the hospital to collaborate with voluntary medical staff, whether on clinical integration, innovative payment arrangements, or on improving practice operations and support.
DGA Partners can assist you in establishing a new PHO, modifying a PHO so that it can serve a new function or improving the performance of an existing PHO. DGA has been developing PHOs and advising existing PHOs since the early 1990s. We have handled engagements for over 50 PHOs and other similar payer contracting organizations. We can support you by:
- Educating your physician and hospital leadership on the purpose and role of a PHO
- Guiding creation of the PHO’s vision and guiding principles
- Facilitating planning and development
- Designing governance structure and participation agreements, in conjunction with legal counsel
- Creating business and implementation plans
- Planning for clinical integration implementation
- Providing ongoing support in regard to the PHO’s participation in an ACO, bundled payment program or other payment innovation plan
