ABSTRACT
In summary the tertiary care programs in this nation are trapped in a difficult dilemma. On one side is the ongoing reduction in provider revenue driven by real and powerful market forces. On the other side is a traditional payment system governed by necessary laws that inhibit meaningful re-engineering of tertiary care delivery. If a remedy to this situation cannot be created then it is very likely that all aspects of quality as defined earlier will suffer. It is our hope that by very careful construction of a relationship, with attention to applicable statutes and careful measurement of utilization and quality, a limited business alignment of a hospital and a group of tertiary physicians can be approved in the care of Medicare, Medicaid and all federally funded patients.
