Cancer center affiliation

Hospital mentioned today that they were considering an affiliation for our cancer center, such as MDACC. Have any of you been through such a process? My initial thoughts is that it would be just a waste of money and more of a pain for us docs without any real difference in quality. Does such an accreditation actually help? What do we have to do differently once accredited? For example, are we like residence that have to get each of our plans checked?
