Description

As the American medical landscape evolves to address changing demographics, economics, politics and regulatory requirements, typical physician practice has morphed from Marcus Welby, MD, to a wide array of employment models. These include multi-specialty groups, subscription-based or concierge medicine, telemedicine, integrated health delivery systems, or some form of hospital employment. Hospital-based employment, with its management hierarchy, is complex and dominant, but it is also increasingly indirect.  Hospitals have turned in droves to third-party employers as a strategy to gain cost efficiency in clinical and nonclinical functions. In fact, a recent Black Book Market Research survey of hospital and inpatient center leaders found that only 2% were not considering outsourcing. Diagnostic imaging services (teleradiology and medical imaging equipment) are among the most popular outsourcing areas. What opportunities do the various employment paradigms present? Who are these third parties that increasingly employ physicians?  How can medical societies partner with these networks to better engage physicians and serve physician needs?  Panel participants will discuss how their businesses recruit, retain and drive physician leadership in their organization as well as what value propositions associations can offer that meet their unique business needs.

Learning Objectives:

  • As fewer and fewer physicians work for themselves, it is important for medical society executives to understand who they work for and the nuances of various models of physician employment
  • Understand how medical societies can meet priorities of physician employers
