Visualizing the Future: Developing a Data-Driven Approach to Service Line Planning

Organizing healthcare around programs that are focused on patient needs or disease groups will become increasingly important as the regulations passed in the Affordable Care Act continue to be implemented. Attend this session to learn how Emory Healthcare, a multi-hospital system, adopted an organization-wide service line strategy to better leverage economies of scale, identify opportunities for standardization, and develop new care models. This strategy was also applied to an Emory-managed community hospital to assess its service line strengths and weaknesses in order to determine future planning efforts, growth strategies, and necessary resources.
