Abstract

The paper illustrates potential benefits the University of Michigan Health System would gain with the implementation of a specialty hospital for cardiovascular care in an existing healthcare complex in Michigan. Through an introduction of some of the many business strategies of healthcare delivery in the American healthcare system, an overview of delivery within a specialized hospital is provided. Benefits of these various strategies are examined in the specific context of the University of Michigan Health System and the Samuel and Frankel Jean Cardiovascular Center. The Integrated Care Model of the Michigan Health Complex creates numerous benefits, including economy of scale and avoidance of double examination. Through the new construction of the Cardiovascular Center, the patient flow through the system could be improved. With a concentration on a business strategy of specialized care, they can enhance excellence in patient values and product differentiation through the focus on cardiovascular diseases.
