Strategic Direction of Faculty Practice at LPCH No. of Beds Research Education
Challenges • Space limitations. • Primary care needed for education. • Limited number of faculty positions. • SoM research strategic plan linked to CHI research initiatives. • Economic impacts of mission on practice.
Children’s Health Initiative:$500 Million Campaign Medical Subspecialties Surgical Subspecialties Johnson Center (Neonatal/Maternal-Fetal) Heart Center Cancer/Blood Diseases Brain and Behavior Transplant/Tissue Engineering Pulmonary/Cystic Fibrosis Centers of Excellence (National Preeminence) Core Programs Critical Clinical Programs and Hospital Services Regional Programs of Excellence InformationSystems Emergency Services General Pediatrics Laboratory Pain Management Trauma/Critical Care LPCH “Brand of Care” Biotechnology Clinical Research Health Policy, Outcomes and Prevention Imaging *Business plans require substantial clinical growth & align economics of physicians and LPCH.
Opportunities • Open access to all children and pregnant women in the community. • Limited number of pediatric and obstetric (high risk) specialists in Northern California. • Must capture a majority of the tertiary care patients in order to have sufficient volume. • Only Children’s Hospital in the South Bay. • Principal provider of specialty services in Northern California • National Centers of Excellence

Challenges $46.5 Million for 2001 Dept. Pediatric & Ob Pro- Fee Charges MediCal Financial Issues • Practice loses $5-6 million/yr. caring for MediCal patients. • LPCH receives Govt. funds and philanthropy for these patients which is passed to the practice as clinic & program support.
California Children’s Services • 21 CCS Centers at LPCH. • State requires CCS patients with complex disease to be cared for by CCS Center. • CCS mandates multidiscipline team (nurses, dietitians, social workers, therapists, etc*) which costs the practice & LPCH $8-10 million/yr. • Most private payers require CCS Center approval before contracting with Center for complex procedures, such as transplant.
Importance of Outreach Pediatric Outreach Referrals Contribution Margin/Discharge ($) * San Mateo and Santa Clara Co. ** 8 Bay area Counties. *** Outside 10 County Area LPCH supports these activities with program support.
Principles for Pediatric & Obstetric FPO • Prioritize growth of clinical care to support research and teaching. • Align economic incentives among and between physicians and LPCH. • Allow faculty to assume greater authority over and responsibility for management of the clinical enterprise. • Encourage entrepreneurial behavior.
