Physician Partnership™

The new approach to building stronger alliances

Due to changes in reimbursement, rising malpractice insurance costs, new competition, employment relationships and joint business ventures, physicians' expectations of hospital service and leadership have evolved:

• Years ago, relationships between hospitals and physicians were founded on daily contact and faith in each other's commitment to quality care. It was enough for hospitals to provide the facilities, equipment, and reliable staff to keep physician satisfied.
• Today, physicians expect more. Physician partnership is created when physicians are both satisfied and engaged with the hospital. Partnership seeks to satisfy their expectations for basics, such as excellence in care, while engaging their hearts and minds through communication, trust and aligned incentives.

Physician partnership is created when doctors are both satisfied and engaged with the hospital.
