Although forming an integrated healthcare system can be extremely expensive, many hospitals and physician groups are discovering that by doing so, they can reap significant benefits, including increased market share, more secure physician income, and better physician "quality of life," a financially stronger organization, and an enhanced ability to adapt to the changing healthcare environment. In most cases, the return on the investment required to reorganize the physician, hospital, and healthcare plan relationship is likely to be substantial.
尽管组建一个整合的医疗保健系统成本可能极高，但许多医院和医生团体发现，通过这样做，他们能够收获显著的益处，包括扩大市场份额、医生收入更稳定、医生“生活质量”提高、组织财务状况更稳健，以及增强适应不断变化的医疗环境的能力。在大多数情况下，重新构建医生、医院和医疗保健计划之间关系所需投资的回报可能颇为可观。
