Strategic Regional Healthcare Organizations (SRHOs)

Strategic Regional Healthcare Organizations (SRHOs)

A growing number of organizations are opting to become part of Strategic Regional Healthcare Organizations (“SRHOs”).

SRHOs are growing in popularity and will significantly alter the framework in which organizations compete. The size and geography they represent is changing the way we think about competition and the nature of the choices provider organizations now face.

TRG is an industry leader in building this concept and these organizations. Our consultants have extensive experience building the structures as well as working with existing SRHOs to help those organizations realize their full potential.

TRG works with providers in a broad geography to develop a network for hospitals and health systems with contiguous markets who are not substantial competitors.

What are Strategic Regional Healthcare Organizations (SRHOs)?
Market and economic factors demand hospitals and health systems and their associated physicians align with others to create a large enough platform to operate under population health and achieve economic benefits. A growing number are opting to become part of Strategic Regional Healthcare Organizations (“SRHOs").
STRATEGIC: Initiatives by a single organization or two or more significant healthcare organizations looking to achieve economies of scale at least equal to competitors and build the infrastructure and capabilities necessary to take part in population health initiatives.
REGIONAL: Comprised of healthcare organizations situated across broad, contiguous geographies, including many that are embracing the unique historical opportunity that exists today to organize geographies and populations to redefine the markets in which they compete. HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS: Formal structures which can take different forms depending on criteria and goals of the healthcare organizations involved. These structures do not need to compromise the parties’ overall independence but do require some form of interdependence.
