A Marketplace Shift Inwards Boston

It may or may non hold out a big deal, but these things don't move on likewise often.  It appears from a recent "Notice of Material Change" filing that Steward Health Care System is leaving Children's Hospital Boston behind to larn inwards into a bargain amongst Partners Healthcare System to supply pediatric in addition to newborn services.

If you lot become to the electrical flow Steward motherhood services website, you lot find:

Steward maintains a partnership amongst Children's Hospital Boston, which provides our pediatric patients amongst access to the virtually advanced handling available. Patients accept access to in-house Children's Hospital Boston pediatricians unopen to the clock, 7 days a week.

The Holy Family infirmary site goes into farther detail:

Holy Family's partnership amongst Children's Hospital Boston provides newborns amongst access to the virtually advanced handling available. Children's Hospital neonatologists staff our Special Care Nursery, working closely amongst community obstetricians, maternal/fetal medicine specialists, community pediatricians in addition to pediatric specialists to ensure optimal coordination of care.

In the number that neonatal patients necessitate the virtually critical care, they accept access to clinical services at the Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at St. Elizabeth's Medical Center inwards Boston or at Children's Hospital Boston. 

St. Elizabeth's notes inwards turn:

We tin also adapt excellence sub-specialty attention for your tiddler through our affiliation amongst Children's Hospital Boston.

But the NMC says this volition alter on July 1, every bit follows:


The NMC says that the novel organization will, amid other things:

Lower full medical spending for newborn medicine in addition to pediatric services without compromising the character of or access to such services.

There may hold out more, or less, hither than meets the eye. Steward already has deep relationships amongst Partners for trauma care in addition to adult third in addition to fourth care.  Those arrangements were signed nevertheless the higher toll of services provided through Partners compared to all other academic medical centers inwards Boston.

So, is this latest shift only business office of a continuing, gradual absorption past times Partners of Steward services?  Or, are nosotros seeing existent contest inwards action, i.e., that Partners has chosen to "lower full medical spending" past times underpricing Children's Hospital?
