Episode Description
With the implementation of the ACA, many hospitals and health systems are investing in technology and personnel to evolve their business models. While every investment carries risk, few have proven to be as challenging to risk mitigate as investments made in high earning physicians. Making these investments while demonstrating both strength and flexibility on their balance sheets, is just as critical as deploying strategies that drive patients into the system to increase revenue. Join Robert and his guest, Jeff Trinkwon, first vice president at Alliant Employee Benefit, as they discuss the strategies systems should consider when trying to reduce the risks associated with aligning with or hiring primary care physicians and other high earners and how to create more flexibility in their balance sheet with tactics such as Defined Benefit Risk Transfers.
