Recap of Becker's Panel Discussion on April 4

By Dr. Michael J. Zappa

On April 4th, I had the privilege of participating in a panel discussion with Dennis Jolley, Vi-Anne Antrum, and Alan Lieber centering around the challenge of being a comprehensive hospital system vs one that is specialty focused. Alexis Reynolds did a wonderful job moderating a very thought provoking discussion.

It is no surprise that there is not a simple direct answer; the most accurate answer is it depends. It depends on your location, your competition, your resources, and degree of integration.
