JHDHP was engaged to assist with developing a Physician Integration and Medical Staff Development strategy that would begin setting the stage for both employing key physicians and tightly aligning community physicians.

Over the course of two months, JHDHP:
+ interviewed and surveyed all key stakeholders in the organization to understand the issues;
+ assessed the market demand and supply of the community in terms of physician need; and
+ recommended a go-forward physician development and engagement plan to executive management and the board of directors

The plan allowed for the re-alignment with their physicians as well as set the stage for the building of a Clinical Integration Entity to become Accountable Care Capable.
