Assessing Operational Needs in the Health Care Setting - Discussion Topic: Integrated Practice and Balanced Scorecard

Answer all of the following questions:

1. The evidence suggests that integrated physician practices use more evidenced-based care processes, provide more preventive health services, and offer more health promotion programs for the populations they serve than non-integrated practices. Medical groups involve physicians practicing exclusively as either salaried employees of the group or as partners. What are some reasons why these integrated practices may or may not be the most efficient ways to practice medicine considering the challenges facing health care organizations in the 21st Century?

2. What is the purpose of a balanced scorecard? How is the balanced scorecard used to lead and manage an organization?

3. How can the balanced scorecard be linked to organizational effectiveness as well as individual performance evaluation?
