  17. In Summary… • Benefits of the programs go beyond insurance coverage … • Leadership …like minded organizations and leaders who focus on quality and community benefit • Openness …ability to share issues and learn from each other • Controlled cost… reduced costs for hospital liability insurance each year since inception • Physician alignment … physician insurance program has been a vehicle for both employed and non-employed physicians • Resource support … RQS, Claims, and PSO services have worked in concert with internal resources and are now being financed by the insurance companies

  18. Why is this a good strategy for the future? • Healthcare reform is creating new reimbursement structures and integrating resources… • Hospital – physician alignment is essential … medical malpractice insurance is a good tool to help seal the alignment • Clinical integration requires incentives to do the right thing … working through the services in both the hospital and physician insurance companies can support this process • As organizations get more extensive services to manage the population’s health … issues of consistency and evidenced based care across the organization will arise … the web-based event management system, the insurance products and the Patient Safety Organization are vehicles to help control cost and quality Control and coordination of practices … leads to control of resources and management of potential medical error
