Physician Exec. 1998 Jul-Aug;24(4):6-19.
In Part 2 of this second annual panel discussion, Jeff Goldsmith, Barbara LeTourneau, Uwe Reinhardt, and physician executives from three physician practice management companies (PPMCs) examine this burgeoning new industry. They grapple with questions (and occasionally with each other), such as: Are PPMCs delivering what they promise? What will separate successful PPMCs from the rest? When PPMCs win, who loses? What value do PPMCs add to health care? What lies ahead for this industry? Could Wall Street pressure cause PPMCs to put profit ahead of physicians and patients? And, what roles will physician executives play in PPMCs?
在本次第二届年度小组讨论的第二部分中,杰夫·戈德史密斯、芭芭拉·勒图尔诺、乌韦·莱因哈特以及来自三家医师执业管理公司(PPMC)的医师高管们审视了这个蓬勃发展的新行业。他们努力解决一些问题(偶尔也会相互争论),比如:PPMC是否兑现了承诺?成功的PPMC与其他公司的区别何在?当PPMC获胜时,谁会失利?PPMC为医疗保健增添了什么价值?这个行业的未来如何?华尔街的压力会导致PPMC将利润置于医师和患者之上吗?以及,医师高管们在PPMC中将扮演什么角色?
