Durham, NC (PRWEB) August 27, 2014
With the changing economy, the case for hospital consolidation has moved from the revenues to improved efficiency and reduced cost. As hospital mergers and acquisitions continue to rise, the big question is where the physicians stand in current scenario. For physicians, solo or small group practices have become challenging as the healthcare system has become more complex because of changing regulations. Physicians are measuring the growing burden of private practice against the ability to focus on patient care as an employee. Keeping pace with innumerable regulations, overseeing staffs and treating patients— can make a physician doubt if the autonomy of being an entrepreneur is worth the trouble.
For physicians, especially for those in primary healthcare (PCPs), the offer of working for a hospital can certainly be less taxing. For instance, an independent PCP earns $150,000 annually, under more stress every year, where he also has to spend $25,000 on an EHR system. Won’t it be better if a hospital offers that physician $175,000 annually for just being a doctor? However, instead of plunging on the first opportunity that knocks the door, physicians need to carefully consider the advantages and disadvantages of merging.
