Physician partnership is changing. Independent physicians have more agency and potential suitors than ever, so all prospective partners must revisit their strategy.

• After agreeing on goals for partnership, pick an alignment model that specifically supports these goals.
• Offering only employment is a non-starter for today’s fiercely independent physicians. 
• Health systems and other suitors must evolve their partnership models so that they are strategic, flexible, and allow for looser affiliation with independent medical groups. 

Position your organization as an employer of choice by offering physicians meaningful autonomy, sufficient time, and comprehensive support that will allow them to thrive both professionally and personally.

• Implement workflow interventions, such as team-based care models or technology solutions, to optimize efficiency and alleviate burdens on physicians to prevent a primary care physician shortage.
• Conduct a thorough analysis of clinician demand in your market, considering factors like population growth, demographics, and healthcare utilization patterns to guide your recruitment and partnership strategies.
