Abstract

Many hospitals are turning to cluster relationships to gain the benefits of diversification without the troubles of increased capital costs and management conflicts. The goal of healthcare clusters is to provide a continuum of care to a defined geographic region through integration of referral and payment systems. To aid in successful planning for healthcare clusters, a market audit and frameworks for examining the current healthcare market are presented.
