The business relationship between physicians and hospitals is shifting.
It’s thanks to new compensation models and new models for patient care, largely (but not exclusively) driven by the move towards value-based care. James Cervantes, associate vice president in the National Practice here at Jarrard Inc., brings a wealth of experience working on leadership structure, professional development and physician group management for hospitals and health systems. And, he’s been watching the evolution of the physician-hospital relationship closely.
Here, he talks about some of the changes happening in physician employment models, including compensation and care delivery, and how administration can best work and communicate with physicians during this evolution of the care team.
