CEO: Hospitals must hire own physicians
Hospitalist Leadership Connection, April 11, 2007
Because fewer physicians are interested in setting up private practices, hospitals are being pressured to hire physicians themselves, according to the CEO of one physician practice management firm.
John Deane, CEO of Nashville-based Southwind Health Partners LLC, asserts in a Q&A published March 21 in The Tennessean that new physicians coming out of training "don't want to be an entrepreneur[s]." He says newly minted physicians are more likely to resist 80-hour workweeks in favor of spending more time with family and pursuing personal interests.
With regard to hiring physicians just out training, Deane is quoted in the article as saying, "[W]e need 1.3 of those new physicians to do the work of what one physician did 20 years ago."
