Notes

Experts say physician-led continue to show promising results, provide a means for doctors to maintain control and are viable for small groups. The strength-in-numbers approach helps physicians not only navigate government regulations, but enables them to pool resources to pay for technology to increase efficiency while providing quality care.http://www.medicaleconomics.com/medical-economics-blog/success-physician-led-acos-sustainable

In Dr. Jauhar's latest column for The New York Times, he wrote about the decline of the physician leader and the concurrent growth in business leaders at hospitals. Less than 5 percent of hospitals are now physician-led, while the number of administrators without medical training has grown 30-fold over the last three decades, according to Dr. Jauhar."The very best hospitals in America are still run by physician chief executives — Toby Cosgrove at the Cleveland Clinic, for example, and John Noseworthy at the Mayo Clinic," he wrote.https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/hospital-management-administration/viewpoint-the-very-best-hospitals-in-america-are-still-run-by-physician-chief-executives.html
