description A 1994 survey of hospital and health network leaders shows that 71% indicated that their organizations either already belong to or are in the process of forming an integrated delivery system. Integration is a process of pulling the entire continuum of care into one system to provide cost-effective health-care services in the most appropriate setting. The literature reveals 4 components of an integrated delivery system: 1. horizontal integration, 2. physician integration, 3. insurance capabilities, and 4. vertical integration. Through integration, healthcare providers can improve their market positions with purchasers of healthcare services who employ managed care. Subacute care providers need to seize this opportunity by becoming part of an integrated delivery system. To achieve this, freestanding skilled nursing facilities that provide subacute care services need to form alliances with the hospitals in their service area to become part of the loop.
