ABSTRACT
This study examines the impact of integration strategies on the financial performance of hospitals, physicians, and health plans over time. Results from a study of 36 large integrated health organizations (IHOs) suggest that financial performance is adversely affected by the scale of investment in integration but not necessarily by the timing or sequencing of the investments made. The results also suggest that some integration strategies have more detrimental effects on financial performance than do others. Finally, the results show that centralized integrative structures appear more financially successful than are less centralized structures.
