BMG WAS FORMED FOR THE PURPOSES OF ENABLING THE BANNER HEALTH SYSTEM TO PROVIDE INTEGRATED AND COORDINATED CARE AND POPULATION HEALTH MANAGEMENT, THEREBY FURTHERING BANNER HEALTH'S EXEMPT PURPOSES BY ENABLING IT TO PROVIDE HIGHER QUALITY, MORE EFFICIENT (AND LESS DUPLICATIVE) AND LESS EXPENSIVE HEALTHCARE FOR THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES. BY CONSOLIDATING PROVIDER EMPLOYMENT WITHIN A SINGLE ENTITY, BMG IS ABLE TO COORDINATE AND INTEGRATE WITH BANNER HEALTH IN ORDER TO IMPROVE TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY IN THE PHYSICIAN OPERATIONS AND TO ALIGN THE PHYSICIAN OPERATIONS MORE FULLY AND CONSISTENTLY WITH THE EXEMPT PURPOSES AND OPERATIONS OF BANNER HEALTH. THIS ALLOWS THE BANNER HEALTH SYSTEM TO RESPOND TO CHANGES IN THE COMMUNITY HEALTHCARE SYSTEM ENCOURAGED BY THE PATIENT PROTECTION AND AFFORDABLE CARE ACT OF 2010. BMG ACTIVITIES ARE PRIMARILY FUNDED THROUGH PROFESSIONAL REVENUE EARNED THROUGH THE ACTIVITIES OF THE EMPLOYED PROVIDERS AND SUPPORT FROM Banner Health.

THESE PROVIDERS INCLUDE PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS AND SPECIALISTS WHO MEET THE HEALTHCARE NEEDS OF THE AREA BY PROVIDING HIGH-QUALITY HEALTHCARE IN A CONVENIENT AND PATIENT-FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT. A NUMBER OF THESE PROVIDERS WILL EVENTUALLY BE GROUPED INTO LARGER Banner Health CENTERS WHICH WILL PROVIDE A VARIETY OF PRIMARY AND SPECIALIST PHYSICIAN SERVICES AND ANCILLARY SERVICES SUCH AS CLINICAL LABORATORY, IMAGING, PHYSICAL THERAPY, AMBULATORY SURGERY, AND OTHER SERVICES FOUND IN MULTI-SPECIALTY PHYSICIAN CLINIC SITES. B. ANOTHER GROUP OF BMG'S PROVIDERS ARE WORKING, AND WILL CONTINUE TO WORK, PRIMARILY IN Banner Health's ACUTE CARE HOSPITALS TO PROVIDE SPECIALTY PROCEDURE-BASED CARE, SUCH AS CARDIOLOGY, GASTROENTEROLOGY, UROLOGY, RADIOLOGY, CARDIOVASCULAR SURGERY, BARIATRIC SURGERY, ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY AND GENERAL SURGERY. THIS GROUP OF PROVIDERS ALSO INCLUDES HOSPITALISTS, WHO PROVIDE 24/7 CARE FOR PATIENTS ADMITTED TO BANNER HEALTH'S ACUTE CARE HOSPITALS, AND INTENSIVISTS, WHO PROVIDE CARE FOR PATIENTS ADMITTED TO BANNER HEALTH'S INTENSIVE CARE UNITS, INCLUDING INTENSIVISTS WHO ARE EMPLOYED IN Banner Health's E-ICU, A REMOTE ICU MONITORING SYSTEM THAT ENABLES HIGHLY TRAINED AND EXPERIENCED INTENSIVISTS HOUSED IN REMOTE MONITORING CENTERS TO OBSERVE AND MONITOR ICU PATIENTS ON A 24/7 BASIS, INCLUDING PATIENTS ADMITTED TO ICUs IN BANNER HEALTH'S SMALLER, RURAL HOSPITALS.
