Possible scenarios for 2013-2014 More Influence Create an independent, freestanding association Affiliate with an existing organization More Cost / Commitment Wind MDCP down
Option #1: Wind MDCP Down Challenges • No ongoing support to help organizations compete in the international market • No resources for ongoing data reporting or analysis Strengths Will have some “hardwired” data collection methods in place
Member benchmarking (2010) • Other benchmarking/survey programs that would be valuable • Governance models • Ways other hospitals in resolving variant issues with international patients • Education and research initiatives
Community relations and advocacy (2010) • Other benchmarking/survey programs that would be valuable • Governance models • Ways other hospitals in resolving variant issues with international patients • Education and research initiatives
Resource support (2010) • Preliminary analysis suggests that an association structure may involve an annual institution-level investment of $2,500 - $4,500 • Estimates based on • Institution-member associations with <100 members ($4,500 range) • Institutionally-oriented professional membership groups with 30-50 member subgroups ($2,500 range)
Option #2: Create a freestanding association Challenges • Highest cost • Greatest resource commitment from member organizations • Influence on national agenda Strengths High influence: association mission fully supports international patient programs
Option #3: Affiliate or contract with another organization Challenges • Moderate control: mission of association is part of a larger mission • Finding the “right” organization to affiliate with Strengths Moderate cost and resource commitment Influence on national agenda, if existing organization has some influence
