A Smarter Model for Cardiology Alignment

Today’s health systems face mounting pressure to manage rising costs while sustaining high-performing cardiology programs. Traditional employment models often require heavy subsidies and lead to diminishing returns all while eroding physician engagement and autonomy.

CardioSphere offers a smarter path, one that protects autonomy, strengthens outcomes, and makes cardiology financially sustainable for all stakeholders.

Collaborative, Sustainable, and Built for the Future

A Win-Win Approach

Our model empowers health systems and cardiologists to collaborate in ways that drive value, preserve control, and eliminate financial strain.

For Health Systems:
End the cycle of costly employment subsidies. By transitioning to our alignment model, systems can redirect millions in savings toward strategic initiatives—technology upgrades, service line expansion, population health, and more—without losing influence over the cardiology program’s direction.

For Cardiologists:
Physicians return to independent practice, regaining the speed, culture, and autonomy that first drew them to medicine. They are no longer employees—but engaged partners—fully committed to delivering quality care and growing the hospital’s cardiology presence.

Alignment Without Employment

We offer a range of proven partnership models that keep cardiology teams tightly aligned with the health system without the need for direct employment:

Co-Management Agreements
Professional Services Agreements (PSAs)
Joint Venture ASC
Consulting & Quality Incentive Agreements
Group Practice Enterprise Model (GPE)

These structures create the alignment and accountability hospitals need, while preserving independence and operational flexibility for cardiologists.

The Outcome: Long-Term Stability and Shared Success

CardioSphere isn’t about losing control - it’s about gaining clarity, alignment, and sustainability. Together, hospitals and cardiologists can build models that deliver financial strength, clinical excellence, and lasting growth.

Let’s reshape the future of cardiovascular care—together.
