Abstract

Medtronic is adapting its strategy to changes in healthcare competition and payments. It has decided to develop new relationships with payers, hospitals, and physicians to become more accountable for patient outcomes and total costs. The case describes new forms of partnerships for therapy optimization, management of acute care episodes, and management of chronic care patients. The case also illustrates how integrated practice units (IPUs) provide focused, comprehensive care for two high-volume and expensive medical conditions: type-1 diabetes and morbid obesity.
