The contribution of physician-system integrating structure to select health system outcomes.
Physician groups are increasingly being vertically integrated with hospitals and health systems; yet, the evidence on the impact of physician-system integration on health system outcomes is mixed. The objective of this mixed-methods study was to examine the impact of increased physician-system integration on select health system outcomes.

Centralization of high-risk cancer surgery within existing hospital systems.
Centralization is often proposed as a strategy to improve the quality of certain high-risk health care services. In this study, the investigators evaluated the extent to which existing hospital systems centralize high-risk cancer surgery and whether centralization is associated with short-term clinical outcomes. The investigators concluded that greater centralization of complex cancer surgery within existing hospital systems was associated with better outcomes.
