CORPORATE STRATEGY
ICC HealthNet will continue its growth in its existing
markets and expand into new markets through acquisitions and affiliations, and
through the implementation of comprehensive healthcare solutions for patients,
physicians and third party payors. As an integral element of these alliances,
ICC HealthNet will utilize sophisticated electronic medical records (EMR)
systems to improve the operational efficiency of, and reduce the costs
associated with, operating the network and facilities and the practices of the
affiliated clinicians.
The key elements of the ICC HealthNet Corporate
strategy are as follows:
- Expansion into New and Existing Markets
ICC
HealthNet's principal strategy for expanding into now and existing markets is
through the acquisition of, or affiliation with, physicians and medical groups
within those markets. ICC HealthNet intends to acquire or otherwise affiliate
with physician groups and other providers that have significant market share in
their local markets and have established reputations for providing quality
medical care.
- Integration of Services
ICC HealthNet believes
that there is significant opportunity for growth through the integration of
medical services into one facility providing a higher quality and consolidated
set of services from physician practices to hospitals, pharmacies, dental
services, physiotherapy, audiology, psychology, disability management,
vocational rehabilitation, and inpatient surgical procedures for episodic
illnesses.
- Information Systems
ICC HealthNet believes
that information technology and the electronic medical record (EMR), is
critical to the growth of integrated healthcare delivery systems and that the
availability of detailed clinical data is fundamental to quality control and
cost containment. ICC HealthNet has developed and will continue to improve and
maintain sophisticated management information systems that collect and analyze
clinical and administrative data. The corporate direction is to implement EMR
in the key beta Care Centres in 2008.
ICC HealthNet is working diligently to become the
leading provider of Integrated Primary Healthcare Services in Ontario and
Canada, and to unify its efforts through the private-public-partnership with
hospital and community based stakeholders.
