Healthcare has entered an age of consolidation. Independent hospitals and clinics are merging to form sizable regional health institutions to increase bargaining power and defray costs. As a result, formerly independent radiation oncology clinics are growing into multi-site departments. Though consolidation may yield benefits for the health system as a whole, individual radiation oncology clinics may struggle with many aspects of the merger.
In this session, the speakers will discuss the stickier aspects of consolidation including staffing models, equipment and resource sharing, technological integration, standardization, and connecting workplace cultures. Attendees will be encouraged to discuss their own experiences with consolidation.
Learning Objectives:
1. Explore common staffing models for multi-site institutions
2. Define potential benefits and pitfalls of technological and resource integration
3. Discuss successful leadership techniques for integration of staff after consolidation and encouragement of treatment standardization
