The acquisition, which included four hospitals and added 858 beds to the system, was a pivotal move toward pursuing the organization's commitment to the long-term health needs of the region and progressing UCI Health's strategic priorities to improve health, increase sustainability, and transform healthcare. Following the acquisition, UCI Health embarked on a journey to integrate the system. This process strengthened the system's ability to deliver high-quality, patient-centered care across the region. From the beginning, UCI Health established three guiding principles to support a successful integration and inform the path toward systemness: 1. Quality and access 2. People and culture 3. Financial performance The integration of the acquired hospital facilities, referred to as the UCI Health Community Network, has been a dynamic process. UCI Health began by addressing challenges related to the format of a divestiture, identifying opportunities for synergies within this new structure, and then advancing transformative initiatives that can bring lasting benefits. UCI Health has also established an integrated mission and vision, as well as coworker values, ensuring that all these statements are representative of the broader system. The integration efforts demonstrate UCI Health's commitment to systemness and the positive impact it has had across the organization.","PeriodicalId":39916,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers of Health Services Management","volume":"42 1","pages":"15-22"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144972894","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing from foundational theories in systems thinking, MLH applies a systemness mindset to improve care quality, operational efficiency, and patient experience across its six hospitals and dozens of physician practices and outpatient services. MLH's strategic initiatives have included chartering a Systems Operational Improvement Team (SOIT) to achieve $73 million in savings in its first year, and the Methodist Associate Advancement Program (MAAP) to support workforce development. To actualize a branded commitment to enterprise-wide excellence, MLH implemented a transformational change in its accountability framework to boost Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grades and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) star ratings with the Organizational Performance Tracker (OPT), an innovative dashboard aligning more than 90 performance goals to national benchmarks. Technology integration has been central to MLH's systemness journey with a transition to unified Epic electronic health record (EHR) and Workday platforms to streamline operations and enhance care coordination. The interprofessional care model supports important collaboration across disciplines and facilities to ensure consistent patient-centered care. Key to the systemness strategy is a balance between standardization with local innovation, recognizing unique needs of diverse patient populations. Programs like the Power of One Idea and Performance Excellence Award have encouraged staff-driven improvements to realize measurable gains. For MLH, systemness is an ongoing journey to deliver the exceptional care each patient deserves.","PeriodicalId":39916,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers of Health Services Management","volume":"42 1","pages":"6-14"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144972898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One OSF: Building a Unified Health System for the Future of Care. 一个OSF：为未来的护理建立一个统一的卫生系统。

In an era marked by rapid industry change, escalating costs, staff shortages, and technology transformation, along with the need for consistent, high-quality care models across diverse sites, OSF recognized that its operating model would not be sustainable for its future in healthcare. Without a consistent operating model, members of the same organization would operate in leadership silos, have inconsistent strategies, and struggle to achieve operating efficiency, all of which could create internal competition. With a renewed vision of One OSF, the organization embarked on a journey to systemness by prioritizing integration, cultural alignment, and innovation. Leadership restructured core functions, such as analytics, human resources, IT, legal, marketing, and communications, while establishing centralized roles and enterprise-wide analytics to drive performance. Through the creation of the Integration Management Office, OSF brought structure and consistency to growth efforts, ensuring that new acquisitions shared the same values and standards without losing their local relevance. Systemness proved especially vital during the COVID-19 pandemic, enabling OSF to dynamically reallocate resources and staff across its care sites. Today, with a focus on delivery system redesign, virtual care models, and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven tools, OSF is building a sustainable, scalable healthcare model tailored to the unique needs of the communities it serves, including those in rural settings. This article explores the OSF HealthCare journey to systemness, examining how a clear vision, aligned leadership, and strategic innovation enabled a seamless care experience, while driving efficiency, resilience, and long-term viability across a growing network.","PeriodicalId":39916,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers of Health Services Management","volume":"42 1","pages":"23-30"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144972926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
