Announced Noyes Health and the University of Rochester Medical Center Tuesday that they are considering a formal affiliation.
The talks are preliminary and a decision on membership is months away, officials from both organizations said.
Noyes and URMC worked informally for over 10 years. The collaboration has brought clinical psychologists, orthopedic surgeons and specialists in areas such as oncology and pulmonary sanitary Noyes Dansville and Geneseo.
A closer relationship between the two organizations should allow them to work better together while helping to strengthen the delivery of health care in a region that extends throughout Livingston County and parts of five other way.
"Currently, we have a very good relationship," the public relations director Cynthia Noyes Health said Oswald said. "We have doctors URMC serve this area on a part time basis, but would more projects together, more opportunities to share the resources of health care."
Across the country, hospitals and other health organizations are increasingly building relationships, which are designed to reduce the cost and supply. Community hospitals as Noyes turn academic medical centers to develop new approaches for the delivery of specialized care. The movements are dictated by pressure reduction associated with the reduction in state reimbursement for technical support and more federal costs.
"Noyes Health has remarkable assets, including prominent doctors and hospital staff, loyal and supportive community and reputation for providing high quality care," said Amy Pollard, President of Noyes health. "But our health care system is rapidly becoming a model that delivers better health outcomes, while at the same time to reduce costs, increase efficiency. Belief that belonging to UR medical help, a model for achieving both in our community."
If a formal affiliation with UR medicine should occur, a main Noyes financial benefits in the form of higher purchasing power.
"We are after what kind of happened at the hospital, when Thompson affiliates," said CFO membership Noyes Health URMC Jay Maslyn with the installation of Canandaigua. "When they signed to partner to almost 10 percent of the deliveries of orthopedic surgery saved automatically, so that is going through the bank. Is really purchasing power in its purest form."
Representatives of the medical and health RU Noyes met for several weeks to study the potential benefits of such membership.
It should take several months, until each side make a recommendation to the respective committees, and obtain the necessary regulatory approvals.
"Through our collaboration with Noyes Health, Medicine UR already has a strong presence in the region Dansville, so it makes sense ways to look at it to work even better," CEO Bradford C. Berk UR Medicine said. "A formal affiliation, it may allow us to more systematically with Noyes, medical staff and the community to identify local needs and services to be developed to work."
If a formal membership is approved, Noyes probably keep the local administration.
"We always want to maintain local control of the community, so that the hospital probably keep his advice," the deputy director of Public Relations Chris DiFrancesco UR Medicine said. "We would have seats on the board, but the control of the hospital would stay at home. Governance structure has not yet been defined, but our approach is to give."
