If a group of physicians approached your hospital about doing an underarrangement (a hospital contracts with a third party to provide a service to the hospital and its patients), the hospital might immediately say no because underarrangements come prepackaged with negative legal consequences. However, the hospital might attempt to craft another kind of model that would obtain the same or similar business goals for both the hospital and the physician group. In other words, can the hospital turn the no into a yes?
The physicians should establish the type and definition of the business arrangement they want with the facility.
This sample questionnaire helps to frame business arrangement discussions. Ask physicians to describe proposed arrangements with the hospital using this template before approaching the administration with the business proposal. The questionnaire serves as a filter, separating the physicians who are serious about pursuing a business arrangement and those who are not. By filtering the requests, the organization saves its administrators and medical staff leaders significant time researching proposals.
