From the Inside Flap

According to healthcare consulting authority Robert James Cimasi, Marcus Welby is dead, and the solo physician the fictional Dr. Welby symbolized has been replaced by a whole new array of modern healthcare organizations. These rapidly evolving structures, referred to as Emerging Healthcare Organizations (EHOs), offer unprecedented business opportunities to those accountants and consultants who are prepared to meet the unique challenges of EHOs. However, these new organizational types will require a greater depth of consulting expertise than the more traditional model ever did. In this invaluable volume, Cimasi supplies professional consultants and their clients with essential information, analyses, and tools needed to understand and manage these new organizations. A Guide to Consulting Services for Emerging Healthcare Organizations covers the full range of EHO development, including:

• A detailed presentation of the purpose, structure, and function of each EHO model
• The latest information on financial, accounting, legal, and organizational aspects of EHOs
• Precise analyses of the strengths and weaknesses of each EHO model as well as its suitability for different physician groups and healthcare markets
• In-depth descriptions of each model’s specific consulting needs, including start-up consulting, recruiting and affiliation programs, and management and operational reviews

In addition, Cimasi gives readers an eye-opening account of the market forces in the healthcare industry that have led to the consolidation and integration of providers. His historical analysis illuminates not only present conditions, but also suggests future developments. For accountants and other consultants who want to extend their management advisory services into this rapidly growing field or who wish to be brought up to speed on this vital sector of the economy, A Guide to Consulting Services for Emerging Healthcare Organizations offers a rich, comprehensive, and authoritative resource.
