TACKLE THESE CHALLENGES

Understand the most important trends in the physician landscape for practices and those who work with them by listening to the Radio Advisory physician playlist.

Make sense of the evolving medical group landscape by looking at level of autonomy versus integration, growth model, and geographic reach within different physician practice archetypes.

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

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.

 To build a team-based care model that’s sustainable for the future, organizations must redesign the care team holistically and redefine the roles of all team members.

  • Advanced practice providers are a cornerstone of any team-based care strategy — especially in primary care. Deploy them autonomously to maximize ROI.
  • Executives can’t rely on hiring more staff to fill shortages. Instead, organizations must tap into the benefits of AI and technology to extend the clinical workforce.
  • Understand market dynamics shaping the state of the clinical workforce, and initiate conversations within your organization to identify ways to alleviate the burden.

Physician buy-in is more important at independent practices than other medical groups.

  • Organizations must craft a physician-specific communication strategy by streamlining communication channels, increasing executive visibility, and creating forums for meaningful dialogue.
  • Create a thoughtful change management strategy by using our tools and templates, or bring us on-site for in-person presentations to help you build support for initiatives.

To remain competitive in an ever-evolving physician landscape, your organization’s strategy must evolve to meet the demands of today.

  • To augment your growth strategy, analyze future utilization as well as 5- and 10-year projections in your market with the Market Scenario Planner.
  • A strong governance structure is the foundation of every successful independent medical group. Use these resources to invest in your group’s governance model.
  • Expanding patient access remains an evergreen priority and prerequisite for winning patient loyalty
