Physician-Hospital Alignment

At IPC we view physician-hospital alignment as a mutually beneficial partnership between our providers and the facilities where we practice to ensure that IPC creates the greatest value while delivering the highest quality of care for patients. This is achieved through a joint commitment of time and resources, shared interests and aligned incentives consistent with the goals, objectives and core values of each facility.

St. Mary’s Health Center in St. Louis is an excellent example of how IPC provides leadership on the vital issue of physician-hospital alignment. Philip Vaidyan, M.D., one of the American College Of Physicians Hospitalists of the Year for 2009, headed this outstanding effort. Please read this case study, which contains supporting evidence demonstrating the kind of results that IPC can deliver to our hospital clients -- to the benefit of all stakeholders.
