Service Line Expansion
Service lines provide the basis for healthcare organizations to compete on the value they offer patients. Organizing care into service lines can benefit patients throughout the hospital and across all sites. A program that is successful in one hospital adds value when it is replicated in other hospitals in the system – setting a standard for the care experience across the system.
But expanding the service line model requires answering a number of questions:
- What specific services should be located at which facility?
- Will physicians support the service line expansion?
- How will standards of care be transferred to other sites?
- How will the original site be affected by the expansion?
