DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/db48a0/philadelphia_pa_m) has announced the addition of the "Philadelphia, PA Market Overview" report to their offering.
The Philadelphia regions health systems and hospitals are in flux, with growth underway in the suburbs while the urban core suffers some setbacks. At the same time, Pennsylvania is also facing serious budget deficits, and the prospects of dramatic cuts in expenditures, including the states supplemental payments to hospitals, are becoming more real by the day as lawmakers try to build a workable budget.
Questions answered in this report:
Major expansion projects point to growth among hospitals, but the sector is neutral, given the poor reimbursement climate. Which health systems are leading major developments? What statewide information exchange promises to connect providers, patients, facilities and pharmacies? Which health system removed a key provider of inpatient and emergency services? As a result, what other health systems are facing capacity concerns, particularly in emergency departments? How are they coping? The Philadelphia physicians sector is only moderately consolidated and has been squeezed by a highly-challenging reimbursement climate. What is happening with the states Chronic Care Initiative, a patient-centered medical home project and one of the country's largest public-private medical home partnerships? What groundbreaking movement in the state would allow greater involvement from mid-level practitioners and pharmacists in the practice of healthcare? Are pay-for-performance contracts common in the market?
Insurers in the Philadelphia market are moving quickly to adapt their competitive strategies as they prepare for the changes national healthcare reform will bring. Are employers increasingly turning to high-deductible health plans? Will there be more attention to wellness plans in this market over the next year, even as national healthcare reform incentives offered to employers who sign up will help sweeten the deal? Which Medicare Advantage insurer is opening physician-led advanced care centers in the market, offering no-copayment treatment for enrollees while allowing the health plan greater control over costs?
