Integrated Healthcare Strategies , a national consulting firm dedicated exclusively to healthcare and focused on improving the operations of healthcare organizations, today announced its latest addition to enhance its Physician Governance and Operations Consulting services. The firm, with offices in Kansas City, Minneapolis, and Dallas, recently hired physician practice management and healthcare industry professional, Rob Lenio .
“Hospitals and healthcare organizations are under pressure to develop effective and lasting strategies for managing and integrating physician providers into the healthcare organization, which also presses the need for developing physician leaders,” said Bob Erra, President of Integrated Healthcare Strategies.
William Jessee, MD, FACMPE, Senior Vice President and Senior Advisor with the firm and former MGMA president, agrees. “Healthcare reform won’t only change a hospital’s operations and finances, but because of a need to share costs and shrinking reimbursements for care while meeting patient safety standards, nearly all hospitals are trying to integrate physicians more fully into their operations.”
