Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Although physician practices acquired by integrated delivery systems (IDSs) have tended to show financial losses, these practices still offer IDSs considerable overall benefits, such as expanded market share and greater coordination of care. IDSs should not necessarily avoid acquiring practices. However, it is essential that IDSs take steps to improve the financial performance of acquired practices.
