Abstract:
Most health systems are vertically integrated, and the leaders of orthopaedic surgery departments or service lines must have a comprehensive understanding of their role in the strategic plan of the health system. Orthopaedic surgery departments must be profitable while supporting the tripartite mission of excellence in clinical care, research, and education. This symposium had 4 specific objectives: to discuss how to (1) create synergy between the department or service line and the health system, (2) develop a strategy to enhance financial stability and revenue growth, (3) develop a comprehensive plan to enhance recruitment and retention of a diverse faculty, and (4) consider alternative strategies to foster education and research, even when the health system may be more focused on revenue generation.
