Description

The practice of medicine has been turned upside down in the past 10 years. Solo practice, which was once a cottage industry, has been replaced by large multi-specialty groups. hospital-owned practices, and huge publicly traded companies. Hospitals used to woo physicians to join their medical staffs and admit patients. Now the same hospitals purchase physician practices or create new ones to compete with existing private practices in the community. Relations have never been poorer between hospitals and physicians. Physicians are feeling very disenfranchised and powerless. "Frustrations in their attempts to deliver Ideal care, restrictions on their personal time, financial incentives that strain their professional principles, and loss of control over their clinical decision are a few of the major issues." (1) Older physicians retire rather than adapt. New physicians just out of training know no other practice style than to work for a large corporation. Yet, there are still a number of physicians in private practice who are trying to adapt to managed care and its new ways.
