Position the physician enterprise for growth and long-term success by partnering with expert operations, finance, and revenue cycle management resources.
Physician employment continues to rise
Building a financially and operationally sustainable physician enterprise is a key strategic initiative for hospitals nationwide as the hospital–physician relationship becomes increasingly important to succeeding in the world of value-based care.
If not managed properly, hospital employment of physicians can result in increased overhead, physician disengagement and a lack of productivity, poor cash collections, and inadequate financial reporting—all with substantial losses for the health system.
