In the new world of managed care and managed competition, where providers assume financial risk for overutilization, management must discard traditional measures of profitability and focus on adding value. Hospitals are taking steps to become accountable health partners in smaller to mid-sized markets (two or three hospitals) by sponsoring community based direct contracting managed care networks.
