A management service organization (MSO) is an integration that includes the creation of a new organization in order to integrate administrative functions, and thus to increase the administrative efficiency of participating organizations. For example, two mental health centers in Illinois created and jointly govern an MSO that provides administrative support to both organizations, while still allowing both to maintain complete programmatic independence. Through the MSO, the two organizations share a controller, a director of management information systems, a director of revenue development, a director of managed care, and all other financial staff.
