Physician Centric Practices Do Better Financially The recent MGMA cost survey showed a loss of $230,000 on Hospital/ IDS owned multi-specialty groups with primary and specialty care. While physician-owned multi-specialty groups break even. Some of the differences can be explained by the Hospital/IDS data excluding high margin ancillary revenue but that is not the reason Hospital/IDS groups lose money. Physicians in physician owned groups have median compensation of $571,000 and physicians in Hospital/IDS have median compensation of $470,000 – a $100,000 difference. Hospital/IDS physicians are not as motivated and productive as physician-owned providers. Physicians are more productive when they feel valued and rewarded for their efforts and control their practice environment. Hospitals/IDS’s looking to reduce losses on employed physician practices need to: Establish an environment where physicians have real control over decisions impacting their practices.  Ensure physicians are directly rewarded for growing revenue and reducing costs.  Ensure physicians feel valued and appreciated. Our research at looking at over six-hundred practices has consistently shown that when hospitals create this “physician-centric environment,” physician practices perform better financially and there is higher physician retention.

Dr. Mohan Suntha, President and CEO of UMMS, was recently interviewed in Newsweek's story on the rise of white-coat executives. The article discusses a growing trend of medical professionals transitioning into c-suite roles in healthcare systems, like Dr. Suntha and UM UCH President and CEO Elizabeth Wise. The author writes that a medical background gives executives a unique understanding of patient needs and the challenges faced by caregivers, allowing them to make better decisions for the healthcare system as a whole.

🚀 The Independent Physician Primary Care Movement is Here! 🚀 It’s time to rehumanize healthcare by bringing back independent primary care physicians. Independent physicians represent the heart of patient-centered care, free from the constraints of corporate-driven medicine. Here’s why this movement is vital: ✅ Patient-Centric Care: Independent physicians have the flexibility to spend more time with patients, provide personalized care, and prioritize their health needs—without the interference of corporate quotas or restrictive policies. ✅ Increased Autonomy: Physicians regain control over their practice, allowing them to make decisions based on what’s best for the patient, not what’s dictated by the bottom line of hospital-owned practices or large healthcare systems. ✅ Better Outcomes: Studies show that independent practices often deliver better outcomes, with lower hospitalization rates and higher patient satisfaction. This is because they’re able to focus on preventive care, continuity, and the overall well-being of their patients. ✅ Reclaiming the Mission of Medicine: Physicians went to medical school to heal and make a difference. The independent movement returns physicians to their roots—fostering relationships, practicing medicine on their own terms, and restoring trust in the doctor-patient relationship. Independent physicians can rehumanize healthcare, prioritize quality over quantity, and deliver true value-based care. Let’s support the wave of independent primary care practices and advocate for a healthcare model that truly benefits patients and providers alike! 🌱 #IndependentPhysicians #PrimaryCare #HealthcareRevolution #PatientCare #PhysicianAutonomy

Patient Safety & Quality Healthcare recently published an article written by our CEO Mohammed Smadi, PhD. Putting the ‘Where’ in Patient Care: Why Location is Key to Addressing Care Quality and Healthcare Inefficiencies Every day, healthcare leaders are challenged to provide quality care while maintaining a positive balance sheet. This goal has been harder to achieve in recent years, despite advances in medical technology and patient safety. For example, The New England Journal of Medicine reported that nearly a quarter of hospital admissions resulted in at least one adverse event in 2018 and 23% of those events were deemed to be preventable. Between 2023 and 2024, hospitals experienced a double-digit increase in non-labor expenses, according to Strata. As a result, 40% of American hospitals had been losing money from operations during that time, KaufmanHall found. Real-time location services (RTLS) can address these issues and many others. While this technology has historically been overlooked due to its cost and limited accuracy, recent developments in AI and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) have made RTLS solutions more affordable and accessible.
