2. Learn the latest methods of reimbursement to ensure all parties are paid on time
3. Hear from hospital and health systems who have addressed the cultural barriers to alignment and the lessons learned
4. Understand how to work with hospital administration and physicians to secure buy-in from the physicians and create loyalty
5. Evaluate your competition and geographic reach – achieving critical mass to increase the ability of your organization to compete in the new, post reform environment
