PART 1: ORGANIZATION AND ENVIRONMENT
Introduction
Since 2004, the Cleveland Clinic, a globally renowned multi-specialty health system based in Cleveland, Ohio, has embarked on a massive organizational transformation, led by CEO Dr. Delos Cosgrove, around a patient-centered, value-based model of care. This paper explores the Clinic's opportunity to strengthen and expand its value-based integrated care model (Cleveland Clinic Integrated Care Model, or CCICM) amid the transition of the U.S. health care system to outcome-based, cost-effective payment models. Through Porter’s Five Forces and PESTLE analyses, this environmental scan reveals the competitive and macro-environmental factors that are impacting the Clinic's future, and the key strategic decisions it must make about integrated care, geographic expansion, and payment reform.
