UHS prepares for the future RESPONDING TO CHANGE There is little doubt that healthcare in the United States will continue to evolve, particularly in how hospitals and physicians are reimbursed for the services they provide. The traditional fee-for-  service business model is being challenged, and the industry is looking at new reimbursement models in which hospitals, physicians and other healthcare professionals work together to share the rewards of providing quality, efficient patient care.  Through direct employment of physicians by the hospital, co-management agreements with  physician groups or other alignment models, UHS is actively pursuing alternative relationships  between hospitals and physicians in a systematic, strategic way. The division continued to invest in technology to increase quality, expand facilities to meet  demand and pursue process improvement to make operations more efficient. UHS is ready to meet the challenges the future may bring as it continues its commitment to providing superior  quality healthcare to the communities it serves. 2011 ANNUAL REPORT 11 In June 2011, UHS broke ground for  Temecula Valley Hospital , a 140-bed facility scheduled to open in 2013. Because of the company’s design and construction techniques, the new hospital will cost one-third less than similar structures in California.
