There is usually an advisory service line type committee, but the hospital and the medical staff are not obligated to follow through with recommendations. In other words, the actions are still independent. Level 3 creates a more formal structure that can be legal or agreed up. In this level, both the physician and hospital work together to implement the strategic business plan and the efforts are fully coordinated. The decisions of the heart center or institute are the decisions unless there is a legal issue. These decisions can range from operations (e.g., staffing, facility design) to strategic elements (e.g., outreach sites and marketing).

I also like how you defined the 5 levels of integration. In a level 3 integration what is the level of physician commitment to the hospital - paid medical director, financial alignments? I am trying to see the difference between level 2 and level 3. thanks I like the blog site. I also like how you defined the 5 levels of integration.
