With the assistance of executives, physician leadership, and a steering committee made up of key stakeholders, ECG was able to conduct iterative modeling sessions that helped create a guide path toward integration. Ultimately, the steering committee developed both health system and specialty-specific implementation recommendations that were presented to the BSWHealth Board of Directors for final approval and execution. Additional implementation support was phased based on the prioritization of clinical service areas and focused on creating consistent yet regionally flexible approaches to clinician structure and compensation.

ECG worked with leadership to ensure a clear roadmap to integration specific to cultural and geographic differences across the newly formed enterprise. This engagement included assistance in the implementation of a consistent, value-based-care-driven compensation strategy for key specialties, including primary care, inpatient services, and surgical specialties. ECG’s recommendations and implementation support guided BSWHealth to a straightforward phased approach to creating a consistent physician enterprise model with a common structure and philosophy.
