There has been a lot of coverage in the news lately about physician shortages including an interesting piece in the The Wall Street Journal.
This issue is not new to you. CHCA has examined physician shortages from several angles, including the impact of adding advance practice nurses to your care model. We will continue to address this issue with your input going forward. Donna Hyland from Atlanta and Steve Allen from Columbus have both expressed their concerns and opinions about how to tackle the physician shortage in a post-health care reform era. Let’s hear from the rest of you.
You are all bracing for patient volumes to rise to an unprecedented number. As an exclusive alliance of non-competing children’s hospitals, you have been eager to share your innovative business practices with one another. Now as you compete for this very small pool of pediatric residents, how willing are you to share your recruitment strategies?
What data, knowledge and information do you need from us to help you create those strategies and practice models? Are you willing to collaborate or is the subject of recruiting and retaining the best physicians off limits?
