Physician employment is changing. What does that mean for the industry? (Advisory Board)

Iget excited anytime there’s new data published on physician employment. (I’m a researcher after all.) But as the physician market becomes more complex, it’s increasingly difficult to collect meaningful data on physician ownership and employment. One of the biggest reasons for this is that the strict dichotomy between hospital-employed and physician-owned medical groups no longer exists—there’s a lot of gray area that’s hard to capture in a survey.
