This powerful white paper was written for large and small medical practices that are determined to stay independent, despite the monumental changes occurring in healthcare today.Make no mistake about it: the road ahead for those who refuse to capitulate won’t be easy.
Beyond changing government regulations, ever decreasing reimbursements and the Affordable Care Act, the biggest challenges you are likely facing are due to competitive pressures, brought about as everyone in healthcare races to create scale. Small practices are being absorbed by groups, groups are becoming super groups, hospitals are buying practices of all sizes, and now health plans are rolling up hospitals to become health systems.
If you and your colleagues are determined to “fight on” despite these challenges, we applaud your spirit and are here to help you.
