  • To provide a framework for evaluating the pros and cons of each model.
  • To guide strategic decision-making in healthcare integration.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of four collaborative models: management service organizations (MSOs), physician-hospital organizations (PHOs), practice acquisition, and equity models.
  • Review of benefits and drawbacks associated with each model.
