Selected news releases for today's health care executives

"Financial security is only one reason physicians are looking to get hired: They also want better hours, coordination of care and access to resources."
- Peggy L. Naas, M.D., for H&HN, "Why Physicians Are Seeking Employment" September 20, 2010

Physician alignment is ranked in the top 10 actions that hospitals need to take in response to reform. It is imperative that hospitals and physicians are on the same page as the implications of reform come to fruition. According to Dr. Naas' interpretation of the recent MGMA survey results, many physicians are looking to align with and become employed by hospitals rather than private practices for a variety of reasons. Noted in her evaluation of the results are some of the key factors for a successful relationship with employed physicians including, "aligned incentives that support and reward the expected clinical quality and financial performance."

We, at World Congress are pleased to provide you with the one forum you need to attend to hear from industry and policy executives that are putting alignment into practice at their organizations.
