2017 Integrated Health Systems Outlook
RATIONALE AND PROJECT GOALS
We launched this project because we have seen increased interest from our pharma/biotech clients in the integrated health system (IHS) space. Most of the large and mid-size pharma companies are either piloting or launching full-scale account teams dedicated to managing relationships with IHSs and, to a lesser degree, ACOs.
Pharma’s interest in IHSs stems from two concerns. First, representatives no longer have the same access as they once had, thereby threatening pharma’s longstanding sales model. Having a relationship at the IHS level is becoming increasingly important for access.
Second, pharma understands that a one-size fits all marketing approach won’t work for IHSs, which are regional in scope and are concerned about their own patient population. Pharma needs to consider who they are sending in to the IHS (not a drug rep), understand the unique needs of each system, and tailor messages and content to the needs of the individual IHS.
While this report was initially developed with pharma in mind, anyone who seeks to partner with health systems will find this report invaluable, including:
- Medical device manufacturers and suppliers
- Medical supply manufacturers and suppliers
- Durable medical equipment manufacturers and suppliers
- Home health and hospice agencies
- Technology providers
- Private duty home care agencies
Purchasers of this report may elect to choose up to 10 detailed health system profiles from the list of health systems included in this report at no additional cost.
This report stems from a multi-client project in which more than 150 executives were individually interviewed over a 10-month period. Any proprietary information to our clients has been removed.
The report consists of a wire-bound main document plus downloadable .pdf, 281 pages, including a 20-page executive summary. Also included (by .pdf download) is an 86-page supplement with all the appendices. The main report has 132 figures and tables. Subscribers will receive periodic updates in PDF format for one year from the date of purchase.
This report is provided as a single-user license. Please contact us for information on team and corporate subscriber pricing.
KEY RESEARCH QUESTIONS
How is the IDN structured?
Who are the most influential people and positions within each system and why?
What criteria are used when determining a “top” health system to target for pharma/biotech and medical device sales?
Which IDNs are likely to survive the ongoing consolidation and why?
Which health systems have embraced the move to value-based reimbursement and risk-based contracting? How far along way are they to having a majority of their business tied to value?
What specific results has the system seen with ACOs, bundled payments and other forms of value-based contracting, if at all?
How does an ACO function within the health system and what are the spillover effects into the rest of the system?
What are the key strategic issues for each system individually, and what do they share in common?
How does the system prefer to interact with pharma/biotech for partnering and special programs?
Has the system engaged in high-level discussions or special initiatives with pharma? What was the process and the outcome?
How is the IDN managing specific patient populations, such as those with diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer and behavioral health?
