Abstract: This paper identifies successful strategies that acute-care health systems can adopt in order to improve quality, access, care integration and margin by collaborating with their post-acute care partners. It also highlights the lessons learned and pitfalls to avoid. In addition, 28 structural and cultural variables uncovered in national research of top-performing acute-care health systems are compared and contrasted with post-acute care systems. The authors of this paper are two healthcare leaders: one of them is President and CEO of Flagler Health System, in St. Augustine, Florida, USA, and the other a former President and CEO of a management company that managed senior living organisations and is currently consulting/coaching with health systems on post-acute care strategies.
