Hospitals target primary care physicians for hospitalist roles
Hospitalist Leadership Connection, July 6, 2011
Hospitals are targeting primary care physicians for positions as employed physicians of hospitals, reports The Washington Post.
Although the Washington Post article focuses mostly on the efforts of hospitals in the Washington DC area to recruit primary care physicians, FierceHealthcare.com reports that this is a national trend. Last month, consulting firm Accenture Health released a new report stating that by 2013 only a third of physicians will be in private practice by 2013, and independent physicians employed by health systems will grow by an annual rate of 5 percent over three years.
