Seventeen cardiologists previously based at CHI Nebraska Heart in Lincoln formed Pioneer Heart Institute in 2018. For 18 months after the formation, they performed procedures at CHI Nebraska Heart. But in January 2020, CHI Health denied their privileges due to an “exclusive agreement” with its own physicians, according to the report.
The reason for lifting the exclusivity agreement is unclear, but it could have to do with new hospital management, according to the report.
At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
